New WSO Reply & Comment Structure / System

Ok, the next iteration in our attempt to improve the WSO UI is here.

We have now made it so when you are replying to a comment, the comment box appear immediately below the comment you are replying to. Additionally, after you post a reply to a comment, your comment will have a small tab in the upper left corner that says "In reply to [username]" so that people know what comment you are replying to.

Based on user feedback, we kept the chronological order of the comments and did not use any indentation. Another cool feature we will bring live soon is making that small reply tab actually slides up to reveal what you are replying to, instead of linking / jumping you back up the page.

In other words,

1. No new page when you are reply
2. New tabbed feature on comments to show who/what you are replying to
3. More jquery that will show the replied to comment coming in future weeks...

In the meantime, we are going to make a hard push to redesign and clean up the header: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/new-wso-header-design-comments-we…

Thanks,
Patrick

That's huge. That's gonna make the threads a lot more pleasant to scroll through.

How do you get it to show the "Replied to WSO.com" like you have? I don't see a reply button for specific posts.

Whoops, for some reason that registered as the back button in my brain. Also, when you hover over PM or forward it pops up what the button is, but not when you hover over quote or reply.

Testing it here... this is sick. Nice Pat!

Edit: I have one suggestion though, and maybe it's already in there and I'm doing it wrong... but the "in reply to..." thing is a link, but when you click it, it just takes u nowhere/to the comment itself. Could you make it so it sends you to the comment it's in reply to, that way you could track a conversation like back to the beginning fairly quickly/easily?

the tab shoudl hop you right up to the comment you are replying to...did it not do that? Anyway, that will be gone soon when we make it even better and add som jquery in, so when you click the "in reply to tab", it will slide the comment it is in reply to right above the comment with some animation.

 

It's doing it now... either I didn't notice somehow or it was a one time thing. Nice! And that update will be awesome too

Thanks, we'll get that fixed!

Meant to ask before, can we get notifications when our threads have been replied to or is it only when they've been quoted?

right now, only when you're quoted, but this will change in ~1-2 weeks...

 

I'd go with OP reply button, too. Some people will want it, some won't care. Might as well.
