So, the Islamic Terrorist Opens Fire on Florida Nightclub; 50 Killed, 53 Wounded story is up over 400 comments and loading slower than hell. We finally managed to find ourselves a limit to comments under the current code. There's a fix going to be coming in the upcoming site update but for now there are two workarounds; take your pick.
- Change your comment view mode to Nested or Flat.
- Change Comment Limit under Preferences to five to ten.
The latter solution gives you 5-10 root level comments and all their children not 5-10 comments total. It also allows you to keep using the javascript expand/collapse buttons if you were.

Being an old school dinosaur, I still browse in Nested mode, so I guess I wasn't subject to this. I always thought Nested mode was pretty impressive, back in the day, and I haven't taken more than a quick look at the new mode Rehash introduces. I'm sure that's a shame because I'm sure a lot of hard and thoughtful work went into making something there most people would like, but I got so used to Nested being good enough I just never tried it. In fact after all the pressure over at the other site to go to new modes it was refreshing when I got here to have Nested available and be able to stick with it without every so often being randomly "upgraded" and having to hunt around for what bit to flip to get back to the way I've browsed for 1.5 decades.

I have been playing with "Nested" and "Threaded" (my default) and can't see a difference.
I know there is "Improved Threaded", but I don't use that.

Nested counts the total number of comments for purposes of pagination, Threaded counts only root-level comments. Otherwise, there isn't a difference that we can find.

If there is no functional difference, would it be worth removing one of them and defaulting everyone who has it set to the other one.?
A low priority request, I know, but it might remove some code.

I have no idea what you're talking about and don't look at the github repo. *whistles innocently*

Huh. People use something other than nested? Who knew?!

Yup, almost nobody uses Nested really; I checked recently for super secret reasons. I guess Threaded just sounds cooler to today's kids.

Nested for me as well, and using it since I first joined the green site in 2000 or so. I feel that the other options hide content from me.
