Hi Wayne,
Interesting. I’d like to see what is happening here. Is it every time you comment?
Oh, is there any chance you’ve got the ‘Comment Threads’ toggle flicked off at the top of the comment section? This makes all comments sit in chronological order with no indenting or threading.

Hi JD St George,
Some great ideas there! I’ve got those exact things high on my wishlist also. I can’t give a timeline at this stage, but watch this space.

Hi Wascally,
That’s an interesting idea. I’m going to pass the idea on to our editors and see what their thoughts are. Keep an eye out!
An update from The Roar regarding comments
Hi BennO, thanks for all the feedback there. You’ve mentioned a few things that we’re also considering and tinkering with. Also, we have another feature planned that will hopefully help you keep track of the authors that you’re most interested in. It isn’t something that will be available in the next few weeks, but we’ll be looking to implement a subscription feature that will let you see the latest from the specific authors you want to read. Does that sound like something you would use?

Really looking forward to this one. Pies so full of belief. A young group who seem to just refuse to realise they’re overachieving – has a bit of the Bulldogs circa 2016 about it?

Seriously though, appreciate the feedback on the headshots also.

The biggest piece of feedback we’ve received so far. Some oversight from us on how commonly this feature was used!

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the feedback. There’s been plenty of discussion on the amount of indenting, and it will be something we’ll take another look at in the coming days and weeks.
More good thinking on the comment voting. It’s also been something we’ve discussed and I hope we’ll be able to take a good look at bringing it to the site sometime soon.
