re: Suggestion for Parent Comments

  • Once again, amazing plugin. Keep up the incredible work (actually bought some of the premium features the other day).

    One suggestions for Parent Comments:
    Right now, you have the option to Display only parent comments and view replies ∨ button, and the user must click on a link “Show Replies” to see replies for Parent Comments.

    The problem is that when this option is enabled, no replies show up at all, and it’s difficult for the user to even know there are replies to a parent comment.

    I suggest modifying this option slightly or at least offering an option to allow at least 3 replies to a parent comment to be shown on the page, with the “Show More Replies” showing up after the 1st 3 replies to a parent comment. This is how most websites deal with this issue. They show a few replies to a parent comment, and then they have a link to show more replies to this parent. This is a good compromise to help speed up the page load, better organize the page, and yet also make it say for users to see which comments have replies.

    Please consider adding this.

    Thanks

  • Thank you osseonews,
    Please check the Youtube comments and you’ll see no replies, but people knows that the button should be clicked to see the replies. This is a popular well know style of displaying comments. I think if Youtube use this with well success there is no any problem for commenters and readers. The button has different color and it says that you should click to open replies. All is clear here.

    Youtube is an exception and hardly a good example for copying a user interface for comments (actually it’s a terrible site to use for comment usability). I suggest paying more attention to what Disqus does and what Facebook does.

    Bottom line, the way it it is set up now is not clear at all.

    wpDiscuz User interface (UI) doesn’t have any relation to Youtube. I’m talking about displaying replays button. Nothing else is close to Youtube. We’ll take this under consideration and also wait for more feedbacks in future. Thank you for your suggestions.
