[same as http://list.drupal.org/drupal-devel/2002-February/006889.html - i put it here "to not loose the info :)"]

i would really like to see [a] "show all comments up to the
'handled' one (the 'comment thread')" instead of "show only the 'handled' comment" when /replying/ to comments. that is, instead of

[original node/comment]
[reply form]

make it like this:

[reply form]
[comment you are replying to]
[previous comment]
[previous previous comment]
[...]
[original node]

it is done like that in ubb (for an example, see http://community.infopop.net/2/OpenTopic?a=prply&f=7343077313&m=4793062693), and find this /really/ helpful. how often when i replied to a comment did i have to do a browser back to see what others said (thus quite some times loosing all i had typed because of the outcommented 'ini_set("session.cache_limiter", "")' in conf.php - but thats another story).

Was for version x.y.z.

This is done in drupal 4.7, I don't remember with precision, but I think that the 4.6.x version had not that feature.

Fixed.

i can *not* find this - a *complete* comment thread at comment reply/preview forms - in neither drupal 4.7 nor any other drupal version. i checked the code and the cvs log messages, but to no avail. only thing i found is this comment in function comment_reply($nid, $pid = NULL):

// if this is a reply to another comment, show that comment first
// else, we'll just show the user the node they're commenting on.

which suggests this feature has *not* yet been implemented.

marking ACTIVE again. please don't mark features FIXED based on "I don't remember with precision, but I think" assumptions. thanks!

Ok then, maybe those screenshot could help?

This first screenshot is a comment called "MMMM.......VOUS POURRIEZ ETRE SURPRIS"

Nothing unusual here.
See the second one...

Now, I have clic on "reply" of the comment "MMMM.......VOUS POURRIEZ ETRE SURPRIS"

See? The comment "MMMM.......VOUS POURRIEZ ETRE SURPRIS" is up and my reply below. Is this what you want? That is with drupal 4.7.

You can change all that on your website at this address "admin/comment/configure". This is probably different in version 5.x since the admin pannel has changed.

So this is for your comment #4.

But this wont show the complete "comment commenting on/reply/rest of comments/node" like your comment #... err... #0.

Version: 5.x-dev » 8.x-dev

Moving to Drupal 8.x. New features have to go into the latest development version.

I think this is better handled in contrib. There's no reason to display the entire comment history.
