Reconsider how the new comments system is to be implemented

[shinya78]

I swear, this time, this is my personal suggestion based on my original stance in the matter. It's rather detailed, almost to the point of a revamp, but hey, it's my two-cents.

Home page, Chapter Lists (Outside the reader):

• Revert the comment-container button back to its original function of redirecting to the forums.
• Counter should reflect combined comments and posts, otherwise, just the forum posts.

Inside the reader:

• Make the new chapter comments system exclusive to the reader, accessible via a small icon at a corner when the menu bar is hidden, or with the [Comments] button in the menu bar.
• Rebrand the [Comments] button to [Forum Discussions]
• The [Comments] button should function as it does now, taking over the old system's function.
• The [Comments] button's counter should only reflect the number of comments in the new system.
• Rename "Read # older comments." to [Forum Discussions] or any other acceptable wording, then make it a button and move it to the menu bar below or above the [Comments] button.
• The [Forum Discussions] button's counter should only reflect the number of posts in the forum thread.
• The [Forum Discussions] button should allow the creation of new forum threads if it is yet to be made.

I believe this configuration should satisfy the dissatisfied "mob", and lets the users have both cakes and eat them.

My suggestion for reconsidering their implementation is to scrap it and go back to what worked for years.

Opening comment threads for chapters is STILL broken, unless you pay up. It's something that should've been caught before they rolled this slop out. Their inability to resolve it and half assed measures to communicate really make it hard to put any faith in them.
