[16:13:51] <Tachyon_> <Bytram> I'm trying to get ready for my day job. what's wrong with comments?
[16:14:15] <Tachyon_> comments shown partially don't work
[16:14:24] <Tachyon_> you can't expand them in place
[16:14:52] <Tachyon_> on /. when there is abbreviated comment, you can click on it and it gets expanded
[16:15:15] <Tachyon_> on SN it redirects you to a new page
[16:15:39] <Tachyon_> and therefore i have to have comments in "nested" view and effectivelly i have beta.slashdot
[16:15:55] <Tachyon_> because i see everything
[16:39:54] <paulej72> Tachyon_: this feature requires a lot of rework to make it happen. We unfortunatley only got a very old version of the slashcde that did not have the javascript based comment system working. We have been busy fixing other issues to delve into fixing the comments. The code for this is very messy and not intuative. I have been trying to trace the code so I can figure out where it is doing the things I do not want it to do. It is a slow
[16:39:55] <paulej72> process
[16:40:48] <Tachyon_> i understand that it is slow
[16:41:40] <Tachyon_> but ... seriously this is a key feature and SN has been running quite a long time
[16:41:43] <Tachyon_> fo
[16:41:44] <Tachyon_> for
[16:42:29] <Tachyon_> i don't want to be bitching about shit
[16:42:52] <Tachyon_> but how can we get more people from slashdot, when we are not much better than beta
[16:43:14] <paulej72> Tachyon_: It took /. many years to get the comments to where they are now. I was on the site when the new JS based D@ system went online. It was not very good. The code we have is from that era and it does not have the JS that the client ran to make it work.
[16:43:41] <paulej72> D2
[16:44:32] <Tachyon_> so you think that it is difficult to implement the commenting system to the slashdot?
[16:45:05] <Tachyon_> maybe if that is the case, we should switch to pipedot's code or something like this
[16:45:24] <paulej72> Tachyon_: we basically have to people doing dev work on slash, NCommander and myslef. NCommander is also doing stuff to get incorporated and I have had some family issues in the past two weeks.
[16:46:00] <Tachyon_> :(
[16:46:45] <Tachyon_> ok, i'm quiet, i give you great kudos for the work you have done
[16:46:50] <paulej72> Tachyon_: switching the code now would mean a lot of work to import everything into a new db schema. I would rather fix the broken stuff in what we got.
