We've recently relocated our guide comments to a new tab for quicker comment access; this was also to accommodate our new guide comments!
  • Threaded comments to help you keep track of discussion and reply directly to questions about your guide
  • Comments now appear in reverse chronological order by default, but can be sorted by oldest or most popular
  • New comment voting! Comment scores will help authors determine what feedback other users agree with, as well as give readers an easy way to show they agree or disagree with a comment


We've also added a new "Quick Comment" feature that can be found on the right side and at the very bottom of the guide you're reading.

This feature will make it easy to write a comment or go to the discussion tab no matter where you are on the guide - since the sidebar Quick Comment feature sticks to the top of the page.


We hope that you'll find this update useful, let us know what you think and if you have any suggestions, feel free to post them here!

Soon dotafire will become reddit.

Seriously though, I don't think we should implement this for forum threads. It kind of removed the sense of brotherhood and make the forums a ****fest. Upvote/downvote count could augment like/dislike, and I think it would ruin the community and make it a salty circlejerkfest.

Just my 2 cents, I'm probably not thinking this through but whatever.

Just don't do it for threads.
Guids/blogs look good with this!

Weird.

However, good Idea. I'm sure we'll get used to it eventually.

Just to clarify we don't plan on changing the forum comment style.

We changed every other comment type to have the new style though, since we felt reverse-chronological + replies makes more sense in those cases.

I have a request:

for the new system, I think it would be helpful if we retained the quote bubble, because right now, it's difficult to see where the quote ends. (For example, the post in the OP: What did I write and what was quoted off of chenboy3?)

Maybe add some quotation marks?

Just my 2 cents.
