Automatically focus the input box after clicking reply(self)

7 commentsbyLarrySwinger

Not sure if it's different on jewgle shit but this is my experience. This is for replying to comments: I have to first click reply, and then click the input box or press tab before I can write my comment. It'd be a nice touch if it was focused automatically.

Weird how I didn't do that. That's a pretty normal thing for me to do when building a site. How did I not notice?

Edit: This is going to sound strange. I can't seem to do it..? Did browsers change to not allow focusing with javascript? I can't even do it in the console.

Silly me. I forgot that because of my nested templates I need to resave multiple of them to force a reload of my code (it would be cool to change that). It was working all along. The console was giving me a false negative because of weird console focus vs page focus things.

So yeah, it's done.

Also, I'd like a thread of site-wide comments.

Also, I'd like a thread for user comments, not just all their posts. (Maybe editable vanity user-pages too.)

Also, I'd like a "Save" or "Fave" button to bookmark good posts and comments, and a thread to be able to review them - since what good is archiving if you can't reference it.

Otherwise everything is just ephemeral passing winds of infinite history.

That's not what a thread is, you're talking about pages dedicated to those things. But yes good requests I am seconding.

Agreed. What is the correct terminology?

A series doesn't seem right.

A perpetual list of ongoing posts and comments? Too big a mouthful.
