Is it possible to see a thread (with replies) in a threaded modus (instead for flat) ??

I’m new here so this question may seem strange.

I think I know what you mean, and the answer is no. There is no other way to easily display the threads on your end of the software.

I think you’re referring to how on some message boards, there’s a nested structure, where each post is a reply to a specific other post? vBulletin doesn’t keep track of that, just replies to a thread as a whole. It’s a little less organized, perhaps, but it’s also easier to read.
