I hope this is the right place to post my displeasure with the change in comments to articles. I usually use an iPad for browsing, so this may not apply the desktop site.
I am annoyed at how much more effort it takes to comment on a story. First I must load a second page with comments, where the original article cannot be read so it cannot be referenced or copied from. The reply button is at the bottom of the comments, which requires much scrolling and pausing as the comments are loaded. The preview, being beside the text entry panel, makes the text entry are small and the buttons difficult to use.
You have made commenting on articles harder, more time consuming, less intuitive, and less convenient. See no upside, unless, perhaps my complaints are seen as benefits.
