We gotta move the comment box from the bottom of the comments to the top.

My scroll wheel will thank you.

    As mentioned, we've talked about this multiple times, and it's probably the most common request for change I've heard so far—I think most people think it's a mistake that it's at the bottom, not something I did deliberately. People have already linked you to some of the other discussions about it, so let me cover something new this time that I've come to realize about why I like having it at the bottom.

    Of course, I think it's a good thing that it encourages people to read the existing comments before posting their own, but there's also a more subtle side effect to this: it encourages responding to other people over posting your own top-level comment. While you're reading the comments on your way down, it's more likely that you'll consider replying to someone else. Maybe you'll end up saying basically the same thing that your top-level comment would have, but now you're doing it by discussing with someone else, instead of just throwing your thoughts out (and hoping that other people start discussing with you).

    Also, yes, this gets more and more inconvenient as the thread gets larger, but I think that's also a good thing in some ways. I think most of us that have a lot of reddit experience have learned that once a thread gets to a certain size, a new top-level comment has very little chance of being seen by more than a tiny group of users. If we're coming into a large thread with hundreds of comments, we know that if we want any chance of our comment being seen at all, you pretty much have to reply to one of the chains that's already near the top. This situation isn't really great overall, but I think it's even worse because the comment box being at the top encourages people to post new top-level comments, which will probably feel discouraging when they end up getting no responses or even votes.

    One thing that I think is good to keep in mind too is that all threads don't have to behave the same, and maybe we can eventually have some different thread "types". For example, the introductions thread is one where people definitely should be encouraged to post new top-level comments (and the thread should probably also be sorted so the newest comments come first by default). So maybe in the future we could have a separate thread type that sorts by new by default and also moves the comment box to the top, since it's more appropriate in that type of thread.

      Mhm, what about giving the option to the OP to set the default comment ordering per topic?

      Of course every user then can order it as it want but the OP is the better person to decide if a topic would benefit from a specific ordering.

      I imagine this being part of "advanced options" when creating a post.

          That's certainly a nice middle ground solution we can definitely consider later. Although I think allowing comment box at top would have to be for very clearly defined circumstances (e.g. that Introduction post) and not just "because I like it that way". It would likely be up to communities and their trusted users to decide the circumstances though.

            Is it really that much of an inconvenience for people to scroll to the bottom to make a new top-level comment or are people just so used to the way it is on reddit and other sites that it just 'feels' that way? Honest question.

            For me personally, I think this is about sending a message and setting expectations by having it at the bottom more than it is an attempt to effectively prevent people from making new top-level comments easily. Someone will inevitably write a userscript that moves the element to the top and that's fine, but at least we're not explicitly supporting it by having the default being the way it is with no "jump to" option.

      I can see what your intentions are behind this, but I wanna argue that while it encourages reading existing comments and expanding existing threads, it also discourages contributing at all.

      Since you mentioned the introduction thread I'll use it as an example. I recently got an invite and quickly found my way to that thread. Even though I was going to post a comment there (granted, nothing special just a hello), there's no way I'm scrolling through 300 comments to get to the comment box. Plus, that problem would be magnified tremendously as the community grew and the number of comments grew with it...

      Maybe there's a reasonable compromise? Something like placing it down the page a fixed number of comments? That way it'd always be, say, 50 comments down even if the thread had hundreds of comments. I guess that would mean people would read the top comments more than the others, which could be undesirable, but then again, that's bound to happen regardless of comment box placement.

        Which is why I think it should be at the top for threads like the introduction one, yes.

        In other very large ones, making new top-level comments should generally be discouraged. On reddit (where the comment box is at the top), people constantly post new top-level comments on threads that already have hundreds or thousands of comments, and the chance that anyone even reads those comments is very low. Participating in the existing discussions is better.

      I'm not sure I would agree with using a basic ui function to "encourage" certain user behavior, unless it is something you expressly prohibit in the rules, or is just invalid data. As you mentioned, threads get long, they already are even with this small group. I understand you'd prefer people read every comment before posting to be sure they're not saying the same thing someone else did. But I think it's a bad trade, your subtle side effect and encouragement for inconveniencing the user. Especially if the user has already used Search to see if their question was already answered. Or if their comment really wouldn't ever be a duplicate (a witicism? sharing a personal experience? etc..) And I'll be honest, for me, I'm not going to read every comment posted in every topic and group I want to post in.

        I think encouraging 'read' vs 'instantly type your knee-jerk response before reading' is a beneficial change for a discussion-oriented website. That's the same reason votes are on the right by default - read the entire line before voting on it. There are rather a lot of tiny, subtle decisions in the design of the Tildes UI that are meant to tease out better behavior over time (and help people unlearn old, bad behaviors from twitter/facebook/reddit).

        That said, a 10k comment thread using the current mechanics (which are the same as reddit) is no fun for anyone, so that'll be another problem to solve someday when threads get large. The commenting system will evolve and acquire new abilities to make large discussions into something more manageable. Just consider having submissions multi-homed in multiple groups someday and the longer thread life/bumping that goes on here. The comment system is going to have to grow up to accommodate that.

    We have talked about this and if the only argument for it is that it's "convenient" I don't know if that's enough. Allowing gif/image submissions and expandos for them is also convenient but that doesn't mean they are worthwhile to have on the site.

    The benefits of having the new top-level comment box at the bottom is that it at least forces people to scroll down to it, potentially reading comments along the way before making their own top-level comment. I can see the argument for adding a "to the top" button somewhere (like on the footer) though.

In order to properly reply to the post, then, I frequently find myself scrolling up and down between the comment box and the post content in order to figure out what I've covered in my comment and what's missing. This is a problem even in a thread with only 10 comments. It gets much worse if you're on mobile.

              Opening in a new tab and switching back and forth wouldn't do. From a usability standpoint, that feels really, really off, especially for mobile users as you would have to deal with clunky mobile browser tab management and you would be forcing them to increase their data consumption for something that shouldn't need it. A context button could work, though, as it provides a sufficient solution for referencing the self-text without all of the additional work, doesn't really inconvenience mobile users, and allows the comment box to remain at the bottom to encourage reading through other comments. It may feel a bit clunky, however, from a UI standpoint.

              Ultimately I'll accept whatever decision is made in the end, but strictly keeping the comment box at the bottom without built-in support for reviewing the content of what you're replying to just feels like a big usability flaw.

              Are we discriminating against mobile users, dis-incentivizing them to comment? If we are, is that a bad thing for a quality-focused forum? I know I sound like an elitist prick saying this, but I've been wondering for a long time if the explosion of reddit's mobile users base (which is most of the site now) has had anything to do with the quality slide we've seen there. I'm sure that's not the only factor at play, but I wonder how much it might contribute.

              They'll just use scripts to move the page elements anyway - but even then, isn't the discrimination still in place? Not many redditors use RES or know how to use user agent script tools like tampermonkey... especially on mobile.

                Well @deimos has already mentioned adding specific features to assist mobile users. E.g.

                A ~ button on the comment box since that is a weird character to type on mobile, usually requiring 3 clicks or 2 clicks and 1 swipe down. Another would be ` which is not even available to type on the default iOS keyboard making inline code impossible to write.

                So I think a lot of things are acceptable to cater to mobile users just for QoL purposes... but I don't think we should cater to them in ways that will potentially negatively effect the quality of the site, e.g. moving the new top-level comment box to the top for them.

                And yeah people using scripts to custom tailor their experience is inevitable but at least we won't be explicitly encouraging certain behavior by making those modification default on the site itself.

                  quoting this StackExchange answer:

                  The backtick/backquote was added to the iOS keyboard in 4.1. You need to switch to the numbers keypad and then press & hold apostrophe to access it. Once the variations show up - slide your finger without removing it from the screen. Remove your finger when it's over the correct ` key.

                    Ah thanks for that, I had no idea... it'll be annoying but at least I can do it. I still think a special ` option in a "macro" dropdown on the comment box iteself will be the nicer option.

    I think it's important that people read the comments that exist before jumping in to say potentially the same thing. Having the comment box at the bottom also every you really want to say the thing you are saying.

    A small thing like this may mean the difference between good conversation and memes.

      Until we become larger and there literally hundreds or thousands of comments of which many could be contained in one comment chain.

        I continue to stand by what I said. People aren't entitled to a top level comment for the sake of having one. If we want to be different than Reddit, we need to look at what people already said so...

        If they're contained on one comment chain, there is a [-] button next to the username that will collapse the chain from that comment.

    After using tildes for a while, I have to say that I prefer having the comment box at the bottom. That, combined with the stricter rules, does encourage discussion better than on Reddit

    @deimos if you plan to keep the comment box down then you have to add a feature that divides and sections older posts - to view them you need to click "View more comments" or something.

    Look at tildes Introductions: https://tildes.net/~talk/dk/introductions

    211 comments and the scroll is massive. Nobody will read all 211 comments. Those who want to for sure will click the "View more comments" button/link. This move will be best even for future AMAs and whatever floods a post.

    Keep it up! Loving the community here already.

      As someone who gave up on commenting there because there were 300 comments to scroll through, I agree.

    I really like the idea of keeping the comments box on the bottom but I think users who want it to be on top will always find a way. Whether it's with enhancement scripts or hitting the "end" key like someone mentioned above.

    If the location of the comment box is meant to encourage a certain behavior I think simple positioning might not be enough. Maybe there are other methods.

      That's a good point. As soon as browser extentions such as RES ( TES? =P) start coming out, that decision won't matter anymore.

    Load the page with top level comments expanded and all replies to top level comments collapsed. Then it’s easier to scroll through a topic and see if there are any reply threads that are of interest to dig into a little bit, or not.

        Good point. I don't use mobile much so didn't think of that.

    I like that the comment box is at the bottom because it really does force me to read through the comment chains.

    I do wish there were a button below the comment box that would allow me to go back home or go to the ~ I am browsing. Right now you have to scroll all the way back to the top after making the comment.
