When replying to a comment it creates a separate text box.  Is it possible to have the replies go into the same box as the original comment and move to the top.  This will keep the conversation together instead of disjointed.

@Brian_Tharp one thing you can do to improve the continuity is to interleave your replies by prefixing lines you're replying to with ">" to indent (you can use multiples to indent further like >>) So for example if I wanted to reply to your comment and interleave the replies in Trello it would look like:

Yep, that's how it's intended.

You could edit the existing comment in some cases, but it would be pretty clunky.

Why not use interleaved replies instead? :)

Not that I know of, but each comment has its own link in the date, so if you click reply and then link to the comment you're replying to, its easier for someone who is following see what exactly is being replied to. 

To grab a comments link, just click the time/date stamp on a comment.
