Out of curiosity, to whom do this comment of yours applies to?
I am on mobile and I see it below (indent-wise) the comment about Russia abiding to its own laws.
Right above your comment there is a flagged one (same indent as yours). I belive that your comment is for that one, right?
I've seen this a few times before and wonder whether it is a display problem or me not understanding the comments content vs rules.
- dang 7y agoYes, it was a reply to the [flagged] comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20132902 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20132902, which is also [dead]. That's why you don't see it. You can see [dead] comments by setting 'showdead' to 'yes' in your profile—but be warned, the bottom of the barrel is pretty thick. I think you're right that there's a display problem here. Can you suggest what would make it clearer?
- BrandoElFollito 7y agoI had a closer look and there is a substantial difference between PC and mobile (I read mostly on mobile, thus my remark). The PC version is OK: your comment is indented vs. the [flagged] comment and it is clear you refer to it - as visible in the second screenshot at https://imgur.com/a/P7XTNEL https://imgur.com/a/P7XTNEL In the mobile version it is not that obvious (top/first screenshot at https://imgur.com/a/P7XTNEL https://imgur.com/a/P7XTNEL) - as you can see, it looks like you refer to paulcarroty's comment. So it would be worthwhile keeping the same clear indentation on mobile as the one on PC. Also, since the triangles are the only indicators of threads, it may be good to have an extra symbol (a cross?) for [flagged] comments so that they are visually part of the column of threads.
