I miss the old site with comments on the same page

[sam]

I find a lot of the discussion here very frustrating.

Multiple derails for no good reason. Please, if you want to talk about “threaded vs flat” why not open a “Threaded vs Flat” discussion, is the “+ Create Topic” so hard to find?

The reverse problem has been discuss here:

Displaying full text of articles in BB topics?

@beschizza, could boing boing include the author’s name in the abridged article blurby thing on the bbs? there are definitely some posters that i always read – @maggiek science posts come to mind – and i’m often also drawn to guest bloggers.

My personal pref would be to use a widget similar to NY times on the main BBS

Displaying full text of articles in BB topics?

What about – and this is just blue sky daydreaming – a system like the NYT uses: If you scroll down at the bottom of the article you’ll see: [image] I guess the idea is that by default you only see editor selected comments but with a single click you could switch to community best, or even all. Of course by the time you’ve clicked the mouse to switch your view, I guess you could have clicked over to the BBS itself… just thinking out loud here.

I would love to see the comments way more integrated into the main site, but that is just my opinion, @beschizza and co are running the show, it is all up to them.

There are all sorts of concerns though, google ranking, technical implementation details and so on.
