Maybe for pagination purposes the multiple pages could be enumerated right after the opening header and we could spot right away the prolific set of comments a given post has attracted. That would make things pretty discoverable right off the bat.
- remarkEon 6y agoYeah this is the right solution. Just add a link to the page numbers at the top of the thread. It's unintrusive, and still follows the minimalist design tenants of this website.
- mushufasa 6y agoor put previous/next links in a line at the start of the comments, instead of just 'more' all the way at the bottom. i wonder if they're constrained because their staff can't maintain the codebase well in the nonstandard arc language, and pg obviously has retired
- remarkEon 6y agoDidn’t realize this was all running on arc. Ironically this will become a pipeline problem.
- amelius 6y agoIf the codebase is the problem then the obvious best solution is to write a bot that automatically posts dang's comment, with links to the various pages. :)
- dontreact 6y agoHow do we know this isn’t already the solution :)?
- dang 6y agoOh no—we love arc and we're good at it. Edit: reasonably good.
- dang 6y agoThe pagination is only because of performance issues on the server to begin with. Rather than adding extra complexity at the top of the thread, the solution is to improve performance and render the whole page like we used to.
