View comments like a champ!

This site is ridiculously configurable to each user's tastes. That includes how comments are viewed. You don't have to just stick with what the site is preconfigured to show you.
At the very bottom of the replies to a post, right above the area to post a response, you'll have some drop down boxes.
Try this combination for fun: Threaded List -Expanded, Date - Newest First, 30 comments per page.
Explanation: Now all the new replies to a topic will be right under the original post (no more having to go back many pages of replies). It essentially shows you replies from the bottom UP instead of the top down. Threaded list expanded means that when you directly reply to a post, it shows as indented under the comment that you are replying to. I like 30 comments per page: it's just enough.
Have fun, experiment, give each configuration a shot!

starstalker — Thu, 02/28/2008 - 18:40I dont know if this is a user configurable option, but I have 2 suggestions:
When a forum reply is edited, it is bumped from its current position and moved to the bottom as if it were a new reply. Can that be changed to stay in its original forum position?
And also, when a reply is made, it takes you to the original post, not to where your reply was made (in the case of multiple pages).
Can either of these be changed on the user's side?
