Nodes with multiple comments display a "Comment viewing options" at bottom, allowing the reader to select the threading and sorting of the comment display.
On my site, I find that only registered users can actually change these settings. For anonymous visitors, the choices appear, but changing the settings does nothing.
That's confusing for visitors. I'd like either a) settings work for all users, registered or not; or b) if settings aren't going to work for anon visitors, the settings shouldn't show up at all.
I can't find anything relevant in access settings. Anyone know what's up?

Ah, so there are settings for it! Thank you!
Looks like we can't do so by role, though. So apparently, I need to turn it off for all users, or accept that anonymous users will see the controls yet not be able to actually use them. That's too bad!
Same problem
and somethig I would like to see solved in future versions: be able to choose by role or in the user access control administration.
Comment viewing options, by role
It's probably very possible to write a module that'll enable the feature for the current Drupal. Alas, I'm not yet at the point where I can tackle it myself. Must buckle down and study!

caching or enabling comment controls
ursus, do you have caching enabled?
There should be a way to let anonymous users use comment controls while still enabling caching. Anyone want to tackle this or have ideas about what can be done?
for more info and a patch to hide the comment controls, see http://drupal.org/node/101013
However, hiding the comment controls in order to enable caching does not seem like a proper fix.
