::::In my opinion the biggest problem with the current system is that there isn't any linking between the two sides of a conversation, so to read a past exchange or one involving especially talkative users you need to comb through manually matching timestamps. If there was some sort of universal thread numbering system that could be linked to, like for the old forums (I think? Before my time), this would be less of a problem, but currently it really is quite tedious. I get the resistance to changing long-established conventions, but I don't think this would be ''too'' awful – even if only some people go along with it, in the majority of cases it should be pretty immediately obvious whether or not a given user talk thread contains replies from the hosting user, since I doubt people would be inclined to change their practice mid-conversation. We could also add a message to the talk page notification informing users of the protocol should they wish to reply, or one of those pop-up things in the edit window, for a while?

::::: There are plans to add a feature that will allow following discussions and receiving notifications for any new messages added to them which would make the single-page options even easier.
