I am less than confident that it would significantly affect the inanity of the comments.

#12I like it, I'm definitely going to use this. The comments button at the top didn't seem to work on every page. But works good none the less.
Yeah, I noticed that after click on the "More" link and browsing the second page of articles, that I ran into some problems with the comments bar. Sometimes it takes clicking on the comments link for the article. I will look into fixing this.
Your willingness and enthusiasm to improve on this is greatly appreciated. I'm excited to see the final product!

hu, I'm not really sure why it wouldn't work. As far as external resources, it pulls jQuery off of the Google AJAX Library CDN. Maybe something is blocking it from getting the jQuery script?
Did you edit the screen size preference in the code? Maybe an extra character got tacked in there or forgotten.
HN community, any ideas?

Most likely NoScript. I had this same problem when I installed it.

I'll look into what's required to make that work.

I'm thinking you could only allow someone to comment or vote after they've viewed the page by doing the :visited css trick
Re: OnePage: An Easier Way to Browse Hacker News
#19Nice script! I quite like it... though its too early to tell whether or not it'll become my preferred method of hacker newsing.
One big issue (may have been tarkin2's problem), but an easy one to fix, is that news.ycombinator.org also points to hacker news, but your script is only active on .com!
Another thing: is there any way you could set the height of the open comments/article frame to the height of the browser viewport (minus 25px for the header)? this gets rid of the annoying problem of scrolling all the way to the bottom of an article (or comments), and then having to switch focus to the main frame just to scroll to see the bottom of the internal frame.
Thanks for the helpful script!

Replies to other comments ought to still be enabled, because threads don't always stay strictly true to the subject of the original post.
Otherwise, I think that's a pretty clever idea.
