A spot of quick site news, we’ve just added threading to the comments on all Tuts+ sites. So you can now reply to comments, and reply to replies, making for a more streamlined and coherent discussion. In particular it means seeing questions get answered will make much more sense!
The upgrade is thanks to the (relatively) new WordPress 2.7 to which we just moved. We’ve got a few other small site upgrades scheduled including linking Plus files directly on the tutorial page for logged in members (currently you have to click off to the Plus site) and finally getting our multi-lingual system working!
In the meantime, enjoy the new threaded comments!

Go threaded comments! Reply me and you can see how they look 8)
We only added 2 levels of replies as beyond that gets a bit confusing I think.
Nice! ;)
Uber cool. It will be fun to see how many people compete to stay at the top of the list!
awesome. now we can all leech the top comments just like on deviantart.

That could come in quite handy :D
Oooh! I like!
Wow Really Nice!
Really loving the comment design… makes sense. Was a gaping whole in the site which I noticed many a time in the past.
@Prydie
Very good! :D
lol this is so confusing and stuff now… so complicated =P
Sweet! And pretty smart to keep to the level of 2 posts.
Way overdue for a commonly seen feature ( and easily implemented :P ), still good none the less.
hmm, i think it’s useless.
I concur.
testing comment thread. testing 123 :D
No one cares about your opinion.
I, and i’m sure most others will agree, that this new feature is awesome!
Yeah! :D
yeah. no one does.
it’s rocking, super great one..
but hey… only time will decided weather it’s useless or not ..
chill
cool idea collis! :)
nowadays psdtuts become boring! :(
how so? *notice how im starting a conversation by “replying” *
i think like that!
something missing in psdtuts??? :(
Totally agree! <3
you agree what? mr. tama
Great stuff! Now we just need an author’s comments to be highlighted in some way (like a different background) and the comment design would be awesomesauce!
Great idea!!! Also, dudes like Collis and all should have different bckgrnd so we knw a TUTS+ dude is talking to us here…
I completely agree with that, makes things even easier to follow.
Yeah I like that idea, saves putting effort into searching authors comments! lol
[/lazy]
Sounds cool, but it looks like it needs a little css-ing.
agreed I think the reply boxes are a little too big. its still cool though
Wow its confusing!
The images are sort out of wack unless they are supossed to be.
It’s a great feature, maybe the avatars should be smaller on the reply threads, to avoid confusions, just an idea;)
forget my previous comment, my Firefox was working on cache. Actually looks pretty well
your gavator was cool man! and also tutorials! :)
I love bacon!
Oh and good job Collis!
Who doesn’t?
Lol this is a nice upgrade:)
Indeed.
Really nice, it’s like a little forum =P
Like Misael said “it’s like a little forum”
Have you guys from Tuts+ ever thought of a real forum? it could be real nice to be able to start discussion and post topics.
I notice some major browser compatibility issues.
Google Chrome – does not thread at all, reply avatars are mis aligned from comment.
FF3 good
IE7 good
IE6 – replies and replies of replies do not display avatar, name, date, and reply link, but they are positioned in the correct placement but start displaying in the footer and go way beyond the end of the page.
yikess
Uh oh Spaghetti O’s
Isn’t good in FF3 for me… it breaks.
try cleaning up your cache
Alignments going everywhere in FF 3.0.3.
Safari 4 Beta seems ok.
just noticed that, the pedobear ascii art is on psdtuts’s blocked list…
This is very cool. Makes open discussion possible!
Nice, I love this style
much better! Love the style too!
Well done guys!
lol?
Yeah, very well done :)
Is nice for tuts duscussion!
Wow, I had no idea this was coming. Great surprise addition to the sites functionality. Thx.
I’m a lumberjack.
And that’s ok.
I’m a lumberjack
hmmh, think it’s better when replies are collapsed, so that the user can expand reply-comments manually, when he’s interested to read them.
But generally the feature is nice!
haha, and i found a bug!
If you click on “reply” you write a comment as a reply. Okay, but if you click on reply and decide then that you dont want to reply on a comment and write an own comment by clicking on “Add Yours” you still write a reply to an existing comment!
test? :)
Cool
Ok the comments are way better than when I last posted ^_^ GREAT JOB!
hehe
i9m using FF3 1280 x 1024 and this is so strange to me , i think its not working, if it is, it got uglie !!!
4 shizzle
Yeah, same with Shiretoko (FireFox 3.1b3pre) — Comments are misaligned, and I have no idea which ones are original and which are nested…
Update: Shiretoko displays it fine. I must have just pulled it up earlier at the wrong time. But after viewing in FF3 and then re-opening Shiretoko, it worked.
Very nice :P
This is a way better commenting system.
My nizzle, nice system!
You should make the (REPLY) an icon.
Really really cool Collis!
Yea!
Hell yea!
I ahve just replied
WOW!!..Great commenting system, very nice change…Collis, you are a genius!!! :o)
you also a genius man!
a christian blogger and designer about GOD!
i like u very much! :)
It’s nice… but the comment rate could becomer much higher now, with comments such as “yea!”, “no way”, and “ok” much more common :P
yea!
yeshhhhhh!
it looks realy bugged out. looks really bad on IE7. deffinitely need to smooth this over ASAP, sorry.
looks terrible in firefox for some reason….
Broken in FF3
what is the comment length limit??
Is there one?
Cool. Good idea.
yeah!
Sweet guys!! keep up the good work! :)
Yay, new comment features. I love the comments already though :D This just makes it better. Thanks Collis!
this is very cool
Awesome stuff!
Huh! I think you should make a bigger difference between the original comment and its reply…This is a little bit confusing. I recommend more css styles.
cool!
Nice
I love how the avatar appears outside of the comment box. And how the replies avatar is in the smaller right corner. How can I recreate this on my threaded comments? Changing the comment structuring in WP 2.8 totally confuses me.
