I made my first post here yesterday, and was happy to have interesting discussion happening in the comments.
My happiness soon ended however when I noticed that some of the comments I wanted to reply to didn't have a "Reply" link under them, and I couldn't see any way to reply to that comment. So I ended up replying to the parent of that comment, but my reply ended up above the message I was attempting to reply to.
Come on guys. This isn't rocket science. Reddit has been doing it right for years. Why can't we have multiple levels of nested discussion?
Here's a screenshot of an example. I made some test comments under this post. After 5 nested comments there is no more 'Reply' link, and so it appears impossible to reply to my 5th comment:
While making those posts I was annoyed by another silly issue:
- the error message shows up twice: once in a popup and once on the page
- the error message is cryptic and seems like debug left in unintentionally:
(now - auth.last_post)... - 20 seconds isn't long enough to stop people being annoying with their spam; a limit like 60 comments per hour would be better than 1 per 20 seconds
