To be honest, I think that these comments evidence a failure of the HN website UI.
Wouldn't it be easier to just create standard pagination links at the top of the comments page, rather than manually forcing a mod to post this "list of pages" comment on each and every article?
- als0 6y agoHmm I wonder if dang's message might already be automated rather than manual?
- mrgordon 6y agoYes similarly I’ve started to notice that other users never notice I’ve replied to their comments since there are no notifications. A bit sad since sometimes quite a bit of effort is put into the replies.

- Wowfunhappy 6y agoOh, this one is great! I was previously running hnreplies through kill-the-newsletter.com!
- mrgordon 6y agoThanks to both of you
- kgermino 6y agoI think dang would agree. 1) there is a more link at the bottom of the page, Dan started making these comments because the UI is too subtle and a lot of people miss the link 2) I believe that he’s said they are working on performance improvements so that all the comments can be shown on a single page to solve the problem completely.
- dang 6y agoOh yes but there are two failures: (1) the UI doesn't display pages clearly; (2) the software is too slow to render entire threads. #2 is the real problem, and I don't want a temporary workaround to become too easy. The real prize is getting the software fast enough to just render entire pages again, which is what it did for most of HN's existence.
