Please eyeball your old REPLIES page. As of this posting, mine stops at 17 items — one single page— despite extensive comment&reply activity at multiple diaries the past two days (the timespan that used to be encompassed) including, of course, <big>💬Will the new COMMENTS and REPLIES layouts stifle free and open discussion at this site?</big> — there’s no longer a “previous page” link/button at the foot of the REPLIES list for reaching the ones posted earlier than those 17.
To reach your own old REPLIES page from blogview:
- click on the envelope/mail/message icon in the top right area of any blogview;
- then click <tt>Replies</tt> on the <tt>COMMENTS</tt> line in your <big><tt>Welcome Back</tt></big> box. (Thank you, Puddytat.)
It’s possible, of course, that work is in progress on the new and old REPLIES lists in response to elfling’s diary (and mine, maybe), and that this truncation maybe be temporary. Feel free to check in here with comments across the day if your own REPLIES list is similarly limited and/or if it changes, and/or if the new REPLIES page layout (example of the top half or so, below) or length shows changes.
