Okay, we've all had our weekends and I at least am ready to jump back onto the coding horse. Refresh my memory of what we still have that's either properly broken or is otherwise behaving in an entirely unsatisfactory manner. I think Flat-mode links to individual comments are still broken. I know we need to replace the "noupdate" behavior with explicit "update" behavior. I'm thinking I can get the colors on "*NEW*" comments' subject bars brightened up so that you can ditch dimming and still have easy visual feedback if you like fairly quickly. I'm considering (nearly (can't do "N replies below Threshold)) precisely replicating Nested and adapting the old javascript to it if you care to run it. But what am I forgetting?

Discussion to a minimum here, please, so it doesn't distract from having an all-in-one-place list of things from this release that still need addressed.

    If I see a top level interesting post, I used to be able to press +++ or something to expand all sub poss. Can't do that now, so I head To hackernews instead.

    [SIG] 10/28/2017: Soylent Upgrade v14 [soylentnews.org]

      There's value is skimming the comment subjects and poster names before diving into a thread. It gives me a sense of the organization of the conversation before I dive in; that gets lost if you start with every comment expanded by default.

      Can't see the forest, standing too close to the trees.

      I browse at threshold -1, breakthrough +4 for this reason. Right now my workaround is to manually expand threads one at a time bottom-up so it takes less time to open them, then read top-down. I'm really looking forward to getting the "expand thread" feature back.

    Yeah this is exactly what's driving me crazy. Every incarnation of slashcode going back decades has had threaded display, until now.
