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.

Yes, I am aware of this option. The thing is, using Chrome on my smallish Android-based mobile phone, "Find in Page..." and entering this as the search text is a very rapid and accurate way to locate what is new. And works exceedingly well... unless ALL the comments are new, and then it is redundant.
ISTM that whatever value is saved away after the first time I load a given story could be computed ahead of time, and then used to inform the presentation of the first time I actually view the story. Probably something along the lines of SELECT MAX(cid) FROM comments WHERE sid = '123456'; (or whatever the actual story id is.)
Wit is intellect, dancing.
