For now, only the phones get the new version, since we have a bit more work to do to add in all of the features found in the desktop version. Phones now get a full-fledged first class comments section using the exact same features found in the desktop version — all the formatting, embeds, autorefresh, flagging, etc. You can see the tags and groups for a story, and link to those pages. The comment editor is more friendly to touchscreens at small sizes. And — this is remarkable — any phone should now be able to handle opening a comment thread of any size. Even the biggest comment party of all, Mojo Friday - Sungha Jung - Edition, with a whopping 8,118 comments.

We did a beta period where I took feedback, and the most requested feature was a second recommend button between the story and comments. That is definitely coming! It almost made the launch, but we had a glitch where the two buttons didn’t always communicate. We’ll release that change in an update soon.

We’re still accepting feedback

On to a better future!

Please remember that all comments will be read, and everyone who will be reading your feedback has worked hard on this release with the intent to make the site better for all our users. We want to hear about things we can do better, but understand that hostile, abusive comments are hard to share around the team. The most effective and useful comments:

Are actionable

Kind and constructive comments clearly describe a task you can’t do as well as before

If your use is unusual, the comment includes the reason you use it that way (for example, maybe you collect stories for publishing to a group in a way we didn’t expect or accommodate).

Assume we want to help you

We’ll reflect on every comment and tweak the pages as we are able to and as seems appropriate. The best way to give us this feedback if you’d like a change is to tell us about a use case — an activity that you’re trying to do — and why you’re not able to accomplish it as easily. These kinds of comments are the most successful at getting the changes you want and need. The old pages won’t be removed until the new ones seem to be doing the job well. A good example of effective, persuasive feedback:

When I want to recommend a comment, sometimes I accidentally tap the wrong spot with my finger, and do the wrong action. I’ve tried to be more careful about where I tap, but it keeps happening to me even when I’m paying close attention.

If you don’t want to leave a public comment here, or aren’t logged in, you may also use the Help Desk link in the upper right corner, or fill out this simple survey.

We want you to be able to do the things you want to do, and helping you do them is what makes our team happy. We can’t always do everything you want, but we do try our best. Critical comments can still be kind, and kind comments are more likely to be read directly by the whole team.
