Re: Most Commented threads ever (none / 1)

Cool idea! Interesting to see what has gotten the action. A good portion of election threads, and then some controversies...

It was interesting to go back and read (none / 0)

When threads get too long they intimidate me (also, my computer gets really slow) but it was very interesting to go back and read the diaries that provoked discussion (and even some of the discussion itself).

Thank you.

Re: It was interesting to go back and read (none / 0)

Have you tried using the "dynamic" thread view? would help with computer slowdown, I suppose...

Also, "Dynamic Threaded" will show the top-level comments but only those.

There is also a pull-down menu at the bottom of every diary, which works only for that one diary and doesn't change your defaults.

And using it kills all the [new] tags in the diary.

Re: Woo-hoo! (4.00 / 3)

(It's fitting to have the most commented thread about a EU treaty referendum rather than about some preliminary candidate selection in a small place across the Atlantic ...)
