Ability to expand all comments on a mod page.

[AngelOfPassion]

I've noticed that many people have issues with a mod that have been resolved but they get buried in pages and pages of comments. It would be a good idea to have a "show all comments" button that can either expand the current page and show all the comments or redirect to a new page (YouTube style) that has all the comments.

 

This would encourage searching (Ctrl F) for an issue instead of asking the same questions over and over. This would be a great help to mod authors.

 

Now, a downside to this would be slight straining of the servers pulling all the comments, however there would be less server load of people that don't need to write new comments because they have searched... so I think it wouldn't be too bad.

No,I think this will bring nasty overloads to the servers and it would be very bad. scrtch that,I didn't read that about"Youtube style",yes that way is great idea beacuse when I want to search now all comments of a mod I come here and viewing it as a thread let me search for something.

 

The alternative thing I think as handy tool would be a "search" hide in/out small menu that will search all of the pages.Similar to forum's search but without any advanced settings,just a button.."search" ,this would be helpful and run only when a user needs it..

actually your idea or mine or similar ,general speaking, so I am hoping for one of them. :thumbsup:

Either one would work for me! haha. Search the existing pages or show me all comments so I can search myself...

I click the View forum thread link if I feel there's a solutions somewhere. I thinkt he forum thread shows more replies, but I can't really be sure.

 

However, I support this idea of yours. I think it could be benefiting.
