I have also mentioned this before. To show you what I mean:

Go back a day. Open Chatter-Politics. Click a few messages from different branches of the same thread. When you click View, the messages are sorted by datetime I guess, instead of in the order they appear on the upper part of the screen. So in practice you must click one message at a time if you want to follow a discussion. Earlier, meaning one or two years ago, you could mark many messages and when you pressed View they showed up in the "correct" order, meaning the same order as they uppered on top. Comprende?
