Is it just me...

I mean instead of a linear thread-like conversation, you have crap everywhere, and it just shows up as a huge mess of headings...all the old system lacked was a way to get rid of the 'first post' and soviet russia junkies.

Just my humble opinion 😱

and how come you can comment when you're on vacation? 😕

 

[Stumps]

yeah it's pretty messed up..and i get a few "operation aborted" errors when trying to view them

I believe they're referring to the main AT site. Users can comment on articles there.

actually, the comments are threaded. linear is not threaded. the forums are a mess to read in comparison.

I agree. I like the new comments system.

I still disagree...it's much easier imo to read a succession of comments that are laid out one below the other, rather than a page of funny little headings that you have to click on to see each one 😛

And nobody has told me why i could comment while i was on vacation 🙁

i looks like crap,i liked it better before

while it is the same login, i imagine that fusetalk banage (for the forums) doesn't flag the comments system

 

[dug777]

it still looks awful, but then, nothing has changed (except i can actually understand the simplified rating system now 😉)...

The threading and linear debate is years old. Some hate threading some love it, it really depends on the person. The comments were made threading from requests, and higher up. I agree that threading is a confusing mess, it depends on how you like to read things. Its a very personal thing, that's for sure. We've had a tonne of good feedback on how comments are, and some bad. Much more positive than negative so I doubt it will change anytime soon.

My only real complaint with the comment section is you have to go to a new page to view the comments. Couldn't they just be on the same page like they used to be (at least for the news stuff)?

 

[Jason Clark]

We've covered this one before. Reason they are in a window is simple (space). We'd have to ditch a column at least to put it inline, there is barely 520 pixels of space between the two columns.

no worries 😉

it's a pity, because now i don't even bother checking them, since it's two extra clicks just to see them...

 

[gsellis]

And for the opposite view, I find them easier to use. Go figure.

 

[Maetryx]

I've nearly stopped reading them since the change. Of course, I was a Soviet Russia junkie.
