I actually like your comment layouts better than the SoylentNews version. It lets you see more postings by default instead of having to click the links to view each of them. Pick this format up SoylentNews!!!!!

It already exists. Just register an account and change your display mode setting [dev.soylentnews.org] to "Nested". But yeah, I think nested would be a better default.

I always use nested too (and browse at -1 for what it's worth).

Hm, haven't I seen this before? A site that leaves a huge blank space at the side of the screen? Either shows full comments or hides them completely, but doesn't show comment headlines?

Many, many thanks! I hope you leave the site up - it's very useful. I happen to like the layout better than I do the original, and I'm hugely grateful for the savings in bandwidth. This is going to be the first page I visit, and I'll go to Soy directly if I need to comment.
