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.

  1. Change your comment view mode to Nested or Flat.
  2. 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.

    Yeah could have one large template and load separate stylesheets for each level of score, comments etc. Offload it to the browser.

    Gravis and I talked about just that a month or so ago in IRC but there are a few problems that keep it from being possible. There's processing that has to be done to the raw score and either perl has to do it or javascript does. We are moving the collapsed/non-collapsed state out to CSS but the low-hanging fruit that paulej72 and I could find is already gone.
