Are threaded (indented) discussions available?
Good day everyone, In longer discussions with multiple participants, it makes things easier to follow when you can reply to a particular poster and the location of your reply is based on who you reply to rather than when you replied in the discussion. Is the "Quote" feature the best way to do this? Thank you, Toby

Analytics for Ideas
Hi all! As some of you may know, we recently migrated all our ideas to Community. Now comes the fun part: data. I need deeper insights than what the out of the box 'Ideas' dashboard offers, but I am struggling to set it up. So far, with Vanilla's help, I've managed to create: ideas with at least 1 comment.

How are you using Vanilla's features to drive engagement?
I haven't talked to a Community Manager yet who wasn't focused on (and worried about) engagement. So I am curious about how are you using the plethora of options Vanilla brings to the table to help… Take a moment to share your 'must use' widgets, page layouts, and personalization to create a space that makes it almost…
