When I create a thread, I always reply to the first post with every reply.

So I (and especially the readers) have the entire thread together in one view.

When I reply to the following post, the post and one answer are displayed. To read the thread you have to click again and again.

I don't think so?

That would make threads difficult to view for most people?

If you're replying directly to the first post with each reply, anyone clicking on a reply will have most of the thread hidden.

It would all be in one view if you replied to replies, there's no need to reply to the original post.

Additionally, if someone clicks on a post in a thread where you've replied to the original post only, it cuts out all of the other posts in the thread. I've attached an example where I clicked on the third post and it cut out the second post.
