Another way the new comments are broken: whenever you find one of those comments "in reply to [user]", if you click on the message, you're not shown the replied comment like you would have before the changes. Instead, a new window opens, with the same video you were watching starting again from 0:00 (and, at last, the comment you wanted to read). Who decided that awkward behaviour?
- jeltz 13y agoI hope this is a bug since the behavior is so terrible I hope no developer did this intentionally. But if it is a bug why has it not been fixed already?
- CompiledCode 13y agoThat was probably done because comments also appear on one's Google+ page. In that context you want to see what video was commented on. But it seems extremely clumsy not to implement a solution that takes into account the context in which the comment is shown. Just more evidence that the project was pushed through in a rush, without regard for consequences.
- Springtime 13y agoOne of my biggest gripes with the new comment system. Now threaded comments provide no context for which user has replied to who. Especially confusing for longer threaded replies. The new system really should have been opt-in, like their other projects, so little things like this could be ironed out.
