Rant - Highlighting Comments

I made some changes to the site this morning to highlight the great comments that the StokeReport community have been making. I added:

  • A new area highlighting the best comments of the week
  • Inline comments showing new and popular comments

Let me know what you think.

Like the changes but actually really liked having the latest comments on the right hand bar so I could see what's new...

@sticker, well...the main article footer still has a 'seen' notion in which the comment count is yellow highlighted for any unseen comments, and since I'm a curious cat that clicks that when it's yellow...it still works for me :)

I hear ya, @pissy, but I'm a lazy SOB & don't like scrolling. :)

Yay, I like having the recent comments so I can scan while you can still experiment with fun new tricks. Thanks, man.

Stoked with this. Now to address the bug where being upvoted on comments seems to cause one's "score" to fall. I can't be the only one who's noticed this :)

@tehdely: the score is calculated on "recent goodness", so if you see your score falling, it's almost certainly to the decay i.e. some goodness that you did n months ago dropping out the window. the decay is to stop old timers inevitably having the highest scores.

and voted up comments = goodness. more votes. more good.

@stokereport: suggestion: maybe the score info should be in the FAQ.

it is. it's probably unintelligible though: http://stokereport.com/content/what-karma

@stokereport: I was referring to the "recent goodness" algorithm. Maybe that could be part of the karma description.
