"Show All Comments" Now in Testing on BETA Story Page

[Manu]

Sorry to bother you.

We've started testing a full Comment Board on the BETA Story Page.

You can see the Comment Board on any story by going to the BETA story URL /comments

https://www.literotica.com/beta/s/a-shepherd-afield-pt-04/comments

The Comment Board is linked from the Story Info Box and there is also a link to "Read All Comments" after you click the "Show More" comments button twice on the last page of a story.

We're aware that the sort isn't working yet, and there are a few visual issues, but if you find anything else not working or have suggestions, please let us know.

Based on use requests, we are planning to allow threaded comments to the new Comment Board, but that's not quite ready yet.

Thank you for any feedback.

I tried it. I liked it. I'm also looking forward to threaded comments.

Good one. Threaded comments should be good for the occasional conversations that start with story commenters.

Will there be a notification to the original commenters (if it's not anonymous) or other people in such threads, when their comment gets a reaction? Otherwise, not many people might get aware of these reactions.

Yes, eventually, the goal is to allow anyone who makes a comment to subscribe to get notifications on new comments. We are also working to add @username usage with notifications (another longtime feature request).

Some Lit members have noticed that we are in the process of making sure everyone has a "safe" username for @username usage. If you look at the Comment Board, for example, you'll see your username in the Author Card shows like this:

My Username
@myusername

The process of generating safe usernames is not completed yet. That update will be required before we can allow @username usage in comments.

The link doesn't seem to be working anymore. I get a 404 error.

Tried it out on one of mine; works well. I like it.

Comment sorting (Newest First or Oldest First) should be working now.

It looks like we have an issue with users who don't have the BETA turned on. It should redirect you to the old Feedback Board, but it's showing a 404 error. Working on that now, but if you turn on the BETA, it should show you the new Comment Board.

I tried it on one of mine and didn't recognize what was different than the way it usually looks in Beta mode. I haven't had mine in Beta mode lately because it doesn't allow a subject line in the response, so maybe I've forgotten what it looks like. What are the main differences?

It worked for me.

The number of comments shown in the Story Info section is a direct link to "all comments." It's visually subtle, and that's the closest thing I've seen to a problem.

The comments section at the end of the story should look the same, but if you click twice on "Show More" it adds a link for "Read All Comments."

When you have the "All Comments" page, there is an option at the upper right to sort the comments by newest first or oldest first.
