I currently get more tripped up by seeing the suggested topics at the bottom of a thread, especially when there is just a single and short message.
Is it possible for a more visual distinction; alternatively 5 is the default - maybe set it to 2.
or just get used to it

I’ve tried to find how to turn that off, but haven’t had any success so far…
They throw me off, too. I think it’s just because I’m not used to threads scrolling to the bottom when I click on them. I assume we’ll get used to what the bottom of a thread looks like in time, and then it won’t be such a mind game.
The timeline thing on the right is great, though. All in all, I can live with the noise of ‘suggested topics’, considering the rest of the great improvements!
