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.

This is just plain confusing, if you ask me. Are these two rolled up comments at the same level, or not?
And one should not have to click twice (first on the double arrow, then on the single arrow which only subsequently appears) in order to open a comment.
I'm still not all that clear on what the double-down arrow is supposed to do.

Those are two sibling comments. The first is a hidden tree of comments. The double arrows hide and show the comment tree. The single ones hide and show a comment. If you are using a mouse based system there are tool tips on the buttons.

It's not very intuitive at all, and the fact that you have to click twice to open a single comment should be a definite red flag for a UI.
