Threaded comments trial run

I tried to comment, it deleted comments and then replaced them......is this a bug or someone playing around?

Emily the Strange

Accident!!!

Steve

Nope.

kel-sy

Oh, but hey, it works.

Steve

I'm going to thread a beautiful comment layout. Just because.

Nice work.

Hm, even though you replied to me, I didn't receive a message.

Steve

Odd... I received the message when you replied to me.

Dr. Hannibal Lecter

Maybe it'll work now.

Steve

hey it sends me notifications, so does the other person get one also?

Okay.. I just had something weird.. I left a comment and it had like 8 popups saying ... "1..2..3..4..5... here comes the new (cant remember)" .. then a whole bunch of grab.. then one last saying something was replaced.

OK it should have stopped now! I forgot to turn off the debug mode.......

Steve

oooh .. good.. it scared me at first..lol

Now you should receive a message when I reply to you...

Steve

I appreciate the ability to turn it off if we want to when the feature is complete. I like having an option.

Of course, it'll probably be there tomorrow.

Steve

Steve, you're awesome.
I applaud your awesome.

Thanks!

Steve

This looks like a really cool feature.

NOTE: Message notifications are now working for replies to comments.

Steve

it looks weird lol. will they eventually hide themselves like they do on lj? once you get a big thread going you usually have to click to reveal them.

That'd probably be a pretty good idea, and will be something to look at down the line...

Steve

I never got a message in my inbox when Teresa replied to me up there ^

[lady serendipity.|0 likes] [|reply]

Weird. It seems on and off at the moment.. and I'm not sure why...

Steve

Oh, okay, I got the message for this reply!

[lady serendipity.|0 likes] [|reply]

Steve

JOLLY GOOD, YO! THE MESSAGES SHOULD INCLUDE WHAT THE REPLY SAYS AND WHO MADE IT - LIKE WITH THE FORUMZ.

ACTUALLY, SERIOUSLY, IF THE MESSAGES INCLUDE WHO REPLIED AND WHAT THEY SAID, YOU WILL REDUCE POSSIBILITY OF ABUSE OF THE SYSTEM. SAY I REPLY SOMETHING RUDE TO ONE OF MY HATERZ. EVERYONE WILL SEE AND LAUGH - BUT I QUICKLY DELETE IT BEFORE HE RETURNS, SO HE NEVER KNOWS, AND HAS NO PROOF THAT HE HAS BEEN MOCKED. BUT IF IT'S THERE RECORDED, THEN HE KNOWS AND CAN REPORT ME, AND I CAN GET INTO BLOOP TROUBLE!

AHEM. WHY IS IT THAT I HAVE TWICE REPLIED TO MYSELF, AND I HAVE HAD NO MESSAGES INFORMING ME THAT I'VE BEEN REPLIED TO?

ACTUALLY, LJ FAILS ON THIS ACCOUNT TOO. WHEN I REPLY TO A COMMENT ON MY OWN JOURNAL, IT DOES NOT FEEL THE NEED TO INFORM ME.

WHEN A DIARIST RECEIVES A THREADED REPLY TO ONE OF THE COMMENTERS ON HER DIARY, HOW DOES SHE KNOW, IF SHE JUST LOOKS AT HER COMMENT PAGE, THAT, SAY, A RUDE 'FUNGUS FEATURES' COMMENT (OF THE KIND THAT I JUST LEFT TO ONE OF BOTTY'S HATERZ) IS DIRECTED AT ONE OF HER COMMENTERS AND NOT AT HER? I PREDICT SOME POTENTIAL DRAMAZ BASED ON MISUNDERSTANDINGZ. ANY MINUTE NOW BOTTY WILL BE INSULTING ME BACK, YO, NOT REALISING THAT I WAS VALIANTLY DEFENDING HER HONOUR AND GOOD LOOKS!

Hahahah. You're funny. I haven't figured that side of things out yet. I'm considering the best way to do it before I even make an attempt. For now, I just wanted to get the basic 'thread' working.

Steve

So question: If someone wants to leave an anonymous comment, and I reply to that comment, will that person get a message in their inbox, even though I wouldn't know who it is?

Lady AnonymousSource

No, they wouldn't. If it's unsigned then they won't get anything back.

Steve

Frick. I hate unsigned comments. So much.

Lady AnonymousSource

I'll be sorting that bug out shortly

Steve

I am loving it so far!

Dr. Hannibal Lecter

It doesn't work on mobiles

What happens when you try?

Steve

When I click 'reply' nothing happens.

Question: What if you reply to a private comment, and you reply to that comment. Would the reply come up as private, or will other people only see the response?
