Huh, I see people commenting on others who have commented on an add-ons in nearly every add-on. |
| mctwist:
You could do either as Google wave does, or something like Stack Overflow forum does, where there's the main comments/posts, and then you comment those posts. Example |

I have no interest in Google Wave so I have no idea what it does, and the StackOverflow one doesn't seem to lend itself well to formatting (such as code blocks or quote blocks) in the replies. I'm going to go with a basic ability for the submitter to reply to a comment which can start a sub-thread which can then be replied to but will still stay at a depth of one. Like so: + Comment + Comment + Comment + --- Reply (by Submitter) + --- Another Reply + --- Another Reply + Comment + Comment Comment threads aren't very detailed discussions so it'd be a waste of time to do so much work on them and multi-level commenting is a total pain in the ass from my perspective both in code structure and layout integration. |

I'm assuming you'll have reply buttons on each of the comments, and that's how you start the sub-conversation. Could you have reply buttons on the replies to comments as well? Not to indent it further; it would just place the comment below the previous one in the sub-convo. That way, if people want to reply to a reply to a comment (awkward wording), they can do it without being confused that they have to click the reply button on the original comment. It'll also prevent pages from getting messy with indentation. For example, when I click the reply button on the underlined reply, it would put my reply where the bold reply is, like this: --- Quote from: Ephialtes on April 23, 2010, 10:26:37 AM ---+ Comment + --- Reply (by Submitter) + --- Another Reply + --- Another Reply + --- Another Reply --- End quote --- Not this: --- Quote from: Ephialtes on April 23, 2010, 10:26:37 AM ---+ Comment + --- Reply (by Submitter) + --- Another Reply + --- Another Reply + --- + --- Another Reply --- End quote --- |

Yes, that's the plan. |
