[FEATURE] Reply button under every comment

A while ago, threaded comments were capped on the amount of levels down they could go. So now if someone wants to respond to a comment, they have to search for the last comment and then hit the reply button. My request is to have the reply button under every comment, and have it replicate the functionality of finding the previous comment and hitting reply.

Not sure if I explained it correctly so I'll demonstrate below.

Comments

  • This is the first level comment

    • I'm replying to the first level comment.

      • I'm replying to the second level comment.

        This is the last level that you can reply from

        • I'm replying to the third level comment.

          No reply button.

          Request a reply button here that would mimic hitting the reply button on the comment above this.

        • iPhones are better than Android phones.

        • I disagree sir, Android phones are the bees knees.

        • Nokia FTW.

        • The reply button is way up there, a few comments away

        • you could do it like


          @ neil(assuming that you don't reply to the same comment heaps of times LOL)

        • +1

          Test comment — where does this go?

          EDIT: Cool, it works!

  • Yeah that'd be great and comment lines like reddit would make it even better.
    But didn't that get removed because people abused it? Maybe instead of capping it at 4, have it at about 7 or so?

      true, however the only problem would be replying heaps of times(and as reddit does, continues it on a new thread)

      • On one hand, Reddit load more comments system is good so you can ignore subthreads. But then again, I find it a bit tedious pushing load more to see all comments. Would rather have everything shown. Not sure what the answer is. Make it flat like Whirlpool and use quoting?

          I like this ^^

    I can implement this - however be aware that the reply link for level 4 comment will really replicate the behaviour of clicking on the reply link for its parent in level 3 - which may be a little confusing visually, because the input box for the new reply will appear below the parent.

    • This has just been rolled out.
