Reddit Forum View

About

Remember the early internet — phpBB forums, vBulletin boards, and the simple joy of scrolling through numbered posts in order? Every reply had a number, every thread was readable, and nothing got buried six levels deep. Reddit Forum View brings that back.

It reimagines Reddit's chaotic nested threads as a clean, chronological forum layout — the way online discussion used to feel before infinite nesting took over.

What It Does
Displays all comments in order with sequential numbering (#1, #2, #3...) — just like the old boards
Shows conversation context inline — click to expand the full reply chain for any comment
Paginates large threads so even massive posts stay as scannable as a classic forum page
Collapse any comment card with a single click on its header

Smart Defaults
AutoModerator comments start collapsed so they stay out of your way
Removed and deleted comments start collapsed automatically
Your Forum/Reddit view preference is remembered across posts

Configurable
Open the settings page to adjust:
Comments per page
Timestamp format (absolute date, "2h 30m ago", or minutes)
Whether to auto-collapse AutoModerator and removed comments

Seamlessly Integrated
Works on all Reddit posts — including on mobile, where nested threads are especially painful to navigate. Toggle between forum view and Reddit's default view anytime with a single button — no page reload needed.

Privacy
Reddit Forum View does not collect, transmit, or sell any data. All settings are stored locally in your browser. The extension only runs on reddit.com.
