Keep Comments Old-Fashioned!

[tamaranth]

A couple of people have remarked on the horridness of the S2 comments pages. I noticed this on a friend's post ...

There *is* a way to keep the old comments page with a new style:

If you go to Customize, then click the "Edit Customizations" button at the bottom, you can then choose to edit your presentation options (the tab at the top). Then choose yes for "Enable to use the old comment page instead of the newer style specific view."

At least, that's how I did it for my S2 tabular indent layout.

Am going off to try it right now: fingers crossed ...

Aha, all is now clear(er). Didn't realise that you could mix S1 and S2 -- but yes, I'm not surprised that this then doesn't work with it.

Still, it should solve quite a few people's layout crises -- and would it be possible to amend the bastardised S1/S2 style to include that '#S1' option in the 'post comment' link?

Hmm... No, I don't think that it would, becuase you don't have the actual comment links on the customise page.

But I might have a play with it later and see if I can get around it - thanks for the idea!
