Hey it’s that “threads” link in the header. You’re welcome.

  I do like how there's no "badge" indicating new replies attached to the "threads" link.

    Yeah weirdly I also think that's a good feature to be missing. If we had this we'd definitely see more comments and engagement, but I don't think it would be better. Getting an instant audio-visual notification (i.e. you keep the tab open, see a "(1)" appended to the title of the tab and you hear a little *ping!*) during more heated discussions would diminish the "cooldown" period where you have a couple of minutes to step back and think "do I really need to reply...?" We have enough of this kind of discussion already, if I'm honest I'm no stranger to them :)

  Different beast. But https://www.hnreplies.com https://www.hnreplies.com works fairly well. I have found that it forgets about me, after a while, so I stopped using it. Every now and then, one of my downvote stalkers likes to go to an old comment I made, and write an insult. I assume that because the comment is so old, the post defies the Banhammer. I don't mind missing those, and I guess it makes them feel better about themselves, so it's all good.

  Wow, I'd somehow never noticed that. I've just been looking at profile -> comments whenever the number in the top right corner changed.
