Comments Section... With the new profile setup and layout there has also been a change in the comments section, now they are all backwards.  The newest comments are on the top.  Don't know what prompted the change but it has gotten confusing in the sequence of the comments listed, plus to add a comment to a comment when the newest is on top and the comment box is on the bottom this becomes time consuming to scroll up and down to read the comment then to go back to the bottom of the page to continue to comment.  This is different than any other comment section on the internet.   Sure there are the "reply" areas but this is not listed in the feed and only shown up in the notification area.  If you have a busy notification area this is completely missed.

Another thing - On stories that have long comment areas such as stories that have been there for a few years or word association games there has been on several occasions where a comment is posted but it isn't shown, eventually (a few hours to a day or two later) the comment is posted up but by then the comments have moved on.  Not sure what is causing this glitch, also not sure if you are aware of it.

Would like the newest comments to be on the bottom of the list and not on the top like it has been changed to, this would help with the full understanding of a story since most of the time the continuation of the story happens in the comments as people talk about it in sequence.  So if people want to read though all of the comments in sequence they don't have to go to the end and work backwards through all of the comments...

Thank you for your time in even bothering to read this.

Thanks for sharing this feedback and for pointing out these issues. On the top right hand corner of the comment display you can choose what order you'd like the comments to appear in. Members have different preferences and we've tried to accommodate everyone by providing a drop down list of option.

With the button that EPArsineh has mentioned you can change the sequence. I also think that it stays even though you log out but I am not sure if it resets when you sign out or not... It should be linked to your account so then you set it once and don't have to worry about it again...

I agree it is confusing to keep track of the comments and reply sequence.
