Ability to collapse nested answers/comments

[A. Willner]

It would be nice to be able to collapse answers or comments.

Dear Anke,

thank you for the proposal. I'll keep this one here to see how much interest it collects.

Kind regards

Dear Anke,

are you/your users willingly to specify the feature in more detail:

1. When the page is loaded all nested comments are initially collapsed or shown?
2. A page might have multiple nested comment threads. A link to show/collapse is shown for each single one or do you like one link to collapse/show all?

Thank you.

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

good questions... I would expect:

1. all comments / answers to be shown when the page is loaded.
2. to have an option for each comment to collapse/show its nested replies.

This works for us, because there usually aren't too many answers / comments on a single question. But it might be different for instances with larger user bases and heavy usage of the plugin. Maybe this should be configurable?

Possible configuration options

• default behaviour: collapsed / shown
• visibility threshold: "only show comment/answer if it has a minimum of x positive votes" or "hide comments/answers with negative votes"
