May 4, 2022 at 16:41 comment added Martijn Pieters @fixer1234: You'd post an 'answer' here on Stack Apps, I guess. Note that the unthread/thread toggle works fine for me in current versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari, at least for the release I recovered (see my answer below).
May 4, 2022 at 16:40 comment added Martijn Pieters @VidathD: hover over the comments, it'll appear to the top left of the first comment. See the screenshot in my answer post below, where it is visible. When you click it, threading is turned off, and the button becomes a 'thread' button; the button disappears when you mouse out again.

Dec 23, 2016 at 18:59 comment added fixer1234 This is a useful add-on but I couldn't figure out where to report bugs. There are cases where I need to undo the threading on a post (e.g., too complex and it gets it wrong, or edit to a highly-indented comment puts the save button under sidebar content so it isn't accessible). There's an "unthread" button, but that doesn't affect anything, at least on my system. So I assume the issue is in getting the Unthread to work on my configuration. Where can the issue and any diagnostic details be posted?

Jun 3, 2014 at 16:05 comment added Oliver Salzburg userscripts.org is down :( Is there a GitHub mirror or something? I'd also really like it if a browser extension (especially Chrome) was available, so it would automatically sync to all my desktops. I'd be happy to handle the conversion for you, if you can tell me where to get the source ;D

Sep 12, 2012 at 12:41 comment added AncientSwordRage @balpha Not convinced it would add value to the comments overal? I can see where you're coming from, still just putting the idea out there :)
Sep 12, 2012 at 12:15 comment added balphaStaff @Pureferret You're absolutely right, it would be identical. I'm not thinking about technical issues, more conceptual issues. It should also be noted that most comment threads are fairly short, and any additional user interface functionality creates an additional burden, so you'd have to weigh the two. I don't actually have strong feelings about your proposal; I'm just not quite convinced.
Sep 12, 2012 at 10:33 comment added AncientSwordRage But if it's minimising the wrong stuff (because it's not a reply) it's going to be threading wrongly too? The error should be consistant and tracable to the root cause, if the minimisation runs on what is being threaded already. I've not looked at the source yet but I'd imagine that's how it's written.
Sep 12, 2012 at 10:16 comment added balphaStaff @Pureferret Hmm, I see your point, but it's somewhat problematic in that this script really only does guesswork (even if fairly educated guesswork) as to what is a reply to what. I fear that with such a functionality as you request, it creates a too confident impression of its abilities.
Sep 11, 2012 at 11:57 comment added AncientSwordRage In your example I might not care about what happened after Slaks replied to Pekka, so I'd like someway to hide replies after that, i.e. minimise them.
Sep 11, 2012 at 11:08 comment added balphaStaff @Pureferret Can you give an example of what you mean by that?
Sep 11, 2012 at 10:12 comment added AncientSwordRage WOuld it be possible for this to 'minimise' some threads on a button click or something...?

Mar 30, 2012 at 0:14 comment added Teo Klestrup Röijezon @balpha, sorry about that, my bad. I thought it did it, that it still happens after I disable it. I think I just misunderstood the algorithm it uses for detecting threads.
Mar 29, 2012 at 20:28 comment added balphaStaff @Nullable I don't understand. The script doesn't change the content of the comments. What exactly do you mean?
Mar 20, 2012 at 22:50 comment added Teo Klestrup Röijezon It seems like that, recently, it stopped displaying the @mention in threads. While I can live with this in threaded mode, it removes a bit of context in unthreaded mode.
