##About

Instead of showing comments in chronological order, this user script displays them in a threaded view, making it easier to follow conversations in long comment threads.

It uses heuristics similar to the @-reply recognition (but it is a little bit more flexible).

It should be noted that this may obviously change the order in which comments are displayed, so you **cannot rely on a chronological order** anymore. In most cases this doesn't matter, but sometimes it just might.

###Download

###Platform
