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.

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*
