You could just mention several people in a single reply, instead of consecutive separate replies for each one. Also, if someone posts in between, I think yes absolutely fine to reply to that person in a separate reply as otherwise how'd you expect the merging to work. It'll end up in a mess.

Unfortunately MyBB has nothing to offer for that purpose, neither inbuilt nor as a plug-in (except disabling the auto-merging system and setting a time limit). Hence, someone here will have to actually make it, and it wouldn't be so easy as far as I gather.

Regards,

Mentioning them by itself won’t cut it. I want to quote their messages as well. And quoting their posts manually on mobile is .... as I’ve mentioned a lot of times by now .... an absolute nightmare.

Had it have been on PC, yes that would’ve been an option. But on mobile? Not a chance.

We can always try suggesting that as a feature or a plugin. You’d be surprised at how many times I’ve suggested improvements to software and the devs actually implemented such improvements. However, I’m not very familiar with mybb. So if the admins (or even anyone reading this) has the time and is willing to do so, please put it in as a suggestion.
