There needs to be a big post new comment button at the bottom of a thread, but otherwise, don't tell me it's harder to find the appropriate reply button than to figure out where to put your comment on a wiki talk page, assuming you're not replying at the bottom.

It is; for the latter, you just have to click "edit" and then grep the text for the post you want to put yours after. Here, because of the new rule about how "you're supposed to reply to the first post, not the previous one" (a remark of yours which, thanks to this new interface, I cannot diff-link to; another reason we should not adopt this, lest we give the Conservapedians ideas), you have to scroll up and down until you find the correct "first post."

Also, why do I have to hunt up and down the page and click an "Update" link before I am able to see my own posts?

Probably a bug.

So this is, by your own admission, buggy? That would rule it out for site-wide use immediately.

Yes, since it's alpha quality software. I have never denied that. I may have been too optimistic about the timeframe of LQT's maturation before, but right now the only reason it's installed at all is that I've managed to fix rollback on comments. Also, changing every talk page to lqt would be a huge job, we'd have to archive and clean up every talk page.

Right now, it's just here for testing, and if you like it you can enable it on your talk page.

-- Nx / talk21:03, 21 November 2010

Right, so that rules the issue in question moot; alpha quality software shouldn't be used as widely as was proposed in any case.

Tell that to translatewiki. Anyway, I wasn't the one who started this page, so you're barking up the wrong tree

That's why I said it needs a post new comment button at the bottom.

As for difflinks - each comment is actually a separate page. In the "More" dropdown menu you'll find a "link to" button, which will take you to the comment page: Thread:Forum:Use liquid threads in the forum?/Ditto/reply_(18)

What would be nice is a quote feature like most phpBB have.

I've added a reply button to the bottom of threads, hope that makes it more obvious where you need to click. Should I also add a reply button to the right side of the header, where the [edit] link is on normal headers?

Now add a like button!!!!

But yes, add a button there too. Although you won't see that if you're going via the "new messages" tab, as I am mostly. I've still yet to get used to reading this on an actual thread or page yet!
