QJ LogoWell, after a rough and tumble debut yesterday, we've managed to get most of the issues and problems with the new comment system sorted out. Just so everyone is in the loop, here's the changes that were made today:
  • Accurate Votes: When you leave a positive vote on a comment, the stars actually increase instead of going down, and vice versa.
  • New Comments start with 2.5 stars: To keep brand new comments from being hidden because they had a zero star rating, all new comments will begin with two and a half stars.
  • Sort Chronologically: The default setting for comments is to view them in order of when they were posted - oldest first, newest last. If you want the comments to rank in order of rating, change the Sort By option to "highest rated".
  • 2 Star Filter: The default threshold for hiding comments is now 2 stars. This will automatically hide comments with a rating below that of a new post. This can be adjusted or turned off by choosing an option from the drop down menu.
  • Readable Text: Many of you complained that the comment text was hard to read - it has been sharpened and darkened to hopefully correct that problem.
It's advised that you clear your cache and QJ related cookies in order for these changes and corrections to take full effect. Additionally, a few more tweaks and requests will roll out next week, such as:
  • Leaving fields unfilled will NOT make you lose everything you've typed - until then, be sure to enter a name, topic title, and comment.
  • The color palette will be darkened and adjust to make things not as bright and to match the rest of the site better.
  • The ability to vote for your own comment will be disabled
Thanks for all your input and patience with our new comment system. We can already tell that it's had a positive impact on the quality of comments being made and we hope you enjoy it as well. If you have more comments or suggestions on how to improve the system, let us know below!

You should be able to sort it by newest first, so you don't have to deal with comments 4 days.

# Great!Zector 2006-10-13 12:53
Love the new system. It helps out filter out of all the...um, "uneducated" posts that people spam on these comment. Only problem I could see, is in a fanboy flame war... All parties will probably nuke eachothers ratings.. =\



It will work itself out.. xD

# Good question...Guest 2006-10-13 21:05
...might be because this system is Java Script based. We'll look into that and see if there's something that can be done...

# ideasGuest 2006-10-13 23:05
ideas for more improvments:



Filter out unregistered comments in the same way as the star ratinf filter



Report messages which are inapropiate or bad language etc



Use smilies like happy and sad faces to enhance messaging.

# good ideasDremth 2006-10-14 03:13
Those are some very good ideas. I completely agree.

# No you don't...Guest 2006-10-14 09:49
If you'd taken the time to actually read or think about it, you'd know you can turn the star filter off and it'll stay that way and you can read everything. Geez...
