Comment System - an alternative to a comment stream: is it available?

Posted by picardo on June 10, 2009 at 10:50pm

I am building a site that can have a lot of interesting back and forth and discussion between members. I used Drupal in some projects where comment system helped users engage with the author of the OP, but it didn't create engagement between members. I am looking into a type of commenting system similar to the one on Reddit. Is there a project that allows nested comments; when a comment is left notifies the author of the comment, rather than the author of the post?

thanks,

Comment notify? Rules?

Comments are automatically "threaded" in Drupal, though not all themes show the difference. A little margin-left in your CSS should do the trick.

The Comment Notify module sounds like it does what you want, though I haven't actually used it. If that doesn't quite do the trick, try the Rules module.
