<!-- tag: comments --> <!-- excerpt: Display comments on questions and answers in conversation threads instead of linearly --> ## History - June 6, 2012: Fixed an issue that can cause major problems with chat. - December 17, 2013: Fix an incompatibility with the Winter Bash code. ##Screenshot Before: [![comments without threading][1]][1] After: [![comments with threading][2]][2] ##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. **Update 2011/07/10:** As suggested by [George Edison](https://stackapps.com/users/18/george-edison), now offers a button to undo the threading on a particular post, in case you want to see the comments in their regular order. I'm not 100% happy with the UI, but I guess it's good enough. The script also got a little smarter about finding the replied-to comment. ###Download [install / update script][3] – [view source][4] ###Platform I have tested this script in Chrome (Windows 7), Chromium (Fedora 14), and Firefox + Greasemonkey (both OSes). ##Contact This script is created by Benjamin Dumke-von der Ehe.
