Blogger recently added a Reply feature to there comment system and if you have a small blog with less than 200 comments pictures. Now if you have over 200 comments or like me 2000+ comments the whole comment system is ruined and it is nearly impossible to use.
Check it out you can now reply to each comment individually except those stopped at 2009. Yet I still get comment everyday even in 2012. So to see your new comments you have to hit the "Load more..." link for 5 minutes until you see the newest comments.
What I had to do is turn back to the old system that takes you to a second page in order to comment. Using a simple code I can alter the color of my comments to make them stand out against regular comments. I love the look of my custom comments but the best part is to see the newest comments all you have to do is click the "Newest" link.
I appreciate the reply option but they obviously did not test it on blogs with 2,000+ comments per page. They did not give users an option to use the Embedded comments without reply or with a Newest link. Also getting a reply from their
Blogger Buzz Blog is useless, they only accept praise.
Solution
Switch from Embedded to Full Page.
Hopefully a new update will fix it.
Here's why this is a 10% feature...
Pros
- Reply is always easier for the commenter.
Cons
- Email updates on the comments do not take you to the newest "Reply" making it difficult to find the newest comments.
- Newest comments are hidden under the useless "Load More" link.
- Font and color is changed for the smaller and less unique.
