At the moment, no matter what Breakthrough/Threshold setting I choose, every Top Level Comment (TLC) is displayed fully expanded.

See: https://dev.soylentnews.org/article.pl?sid=17/02/16/0222248&threshold=5&highlightthresh=5&commentsort=0&mode=threadtos&page=1&noupdate=1#commentwrap

Consider what the "Deuteronomy child bride", "Penis Bird", and "Cheap Canadian V14gra" users would make of knowing that they can make sure that their TLC will always appear in full.

For the following "T:" denotes setting for Threshold and "B:" denotes a setting for Breakthrough.

Am I missing something or shouldn't: (T:-1, B:5) produce the same result as: (T:5, B:-1)

Under Threaded-TOS, I'm seeing different results on: https://dev.soylentnews.org/article.pl?sid=17/02/16/0222248 where the highest score for a comment is: 2.

T:-1, B:5 -- https://dev.soylentnews.org/article.pl?sid=17/02/16/0222248&threshold=-1&highlightthresh=5&commentsort=0&mode=threadtos&page=1&noupdate=1#commentwrap

T:5, B:-1 -- https://dev.soylentnews.org/article.pl?sid=17/02/16/0222248&threshold=5&highlightthresh=-1&commentsort=0&mode=threadtos&page=1&noupdate=1#commentwrap

Based on what I understand, T:-1, B:5 Says show me everything (scoring -1 or better) in full (oh, and boost visibility of those scoring 5 or better) -- but we are already selecting to show everything anyway

OTOH, T:5, B:-1 Says show me only those scoring 5 or better (there are none for that story), but boost all those scoring -1 or better, which is ALL of the comments, so it again selects to display everything.

It would be helpful for the user to have a label to explain what the seemingly barren "(1)" that appears in two places on a story actually means. Granted, on stories with enough comments, and that actually spills over onto additional pages, there is a bit more of an indication, but it could be made explicitly clear by adding just two lines to one template.

Extended copy has the updated version of the template. The two lines which contain only "Page:" are all it takes.

20170215e - Test Story - Please DO NOT Moderate and DO NOT Post Comments - Comment Score Testing

The comment structure AND the comment scores have been carefully crafted - please do not touch. --martyb

There is one top-level comment (TLC); it has score: -1
That TLC has 4 children, respectively scored: -1, 0, 1, and 2.
EACH of those children has 4 children, respectively scored: -1, 0, 1, and 2.

Have a few issues with the new "[Continues...]" item which is automatically added to stories that have a non-empty "Extended Copy" section.

1) When editing a story, the "[Continues...]" text does not appear when I click on the "Preview" button.

2) Accidentally discovered it is implemented as a link, not just plain text, when I somehow clicked on it on the main page and saw the extended copy text suddenly appear... this is confusing. It looks exactly like the text we editors previously inserted into stories manually, but has a different effect -- need to visually distinguish it from the old-style, text-only version (e.g. one couldunderline the link but see next item).

3) Once I click on the "[Continues...]" link on the main page and see the expanded text, I see no way to re-collapse it. :(

4) May I suggest reusing the "Expand/Collapse comment" single-chevron that is employed in the new threaded comment code?
