I used to be able to click on one + and have all of a comment's replies expanded.
I'd like to request that this feature be put back.
Frankly, the site appeared to be working perfectly fine as it was. Why muck around with things?

The comment coding had to be extensively rewritten because we were getting up to 1m load times on the backend without caching on articles with more than 50 or so comments. See the first or second post in the series which goes into the technical reasons why the system was replaced.

Okay, that's a good reason.
However, I'd still like the old buttons to expand all comments.

Load times seemed fine to me...then again, I use Tor. If there are many comments on a page, I will typically spend much longer than a minute with it.
