Improvements to Nested Comments
We’ve introduced two improvements to subcomments (comments on comments). These changes aim to 1. encourage more discussions and 2. prevent conversations from dying out.
1. Subcomments are now included in the total comment count on a photo. Points for subcomments are only awarded for detailed comments (100 characters or more). Photos uploaded before this change might still show the old comment count without subcomments included. The comment count will be recalculated and displayed correctly with the next new comment. If you want to update the comment count on a photo yourself, you can add a comment and then delete it—this will refresh the count.
2. You will now receive notifications for new subcomments on your own comments. Whether you get these notifications via email and/or system alerts can be set as usual under Settings / Notifications / Comments. Since we don’t change your notification settings without permission, notifications about new subcomments will only be sent for comments posted after this update—unless you’ve already added a subcomment to that comment yourself.
