I don’t like the flat structure for one - I found it easier to follow a conversation when it was nested.
I don’t like going to another page for the comments. When I go to comment or read a comment I usually flick up to the original content to see what was said exactly.
I also don’t like that when I go to the list of other topics below I have to click on the topic which brings me to the discussion and then go to the top and find the link to the article so I can go and read that.
I thought I’d get used to it but instead I’m less likely to read the comments at all. Which makes me less likely to read the articles since I enjoyed seeing the comments. I was just beginning to comment myself rather than just read. So I have probably actually commented more since the change over but it’s not a comfortable experience for me. I find it too hard to see what other people have said in reply to someone or to see that the original comment got deleted/moderated etc.
I find I am preferring to go to other sites with the comments at the bottom of the page and nested like they used to be here.
