Is there any way to program this friggin thing so that ‘Comments’ yields just a list of the thread title and little more of the latest comments? (in other words, the “old way”)
I don’t like having the whole comment — takes up too much screen real estate when I am just scanning the current threads being commented upon to see what interests me.
If you click on Comments (or pings), you will see two blue tabs at the top left: Comments and Full.
Comments gives you the brief version, old style. Full gives you the title and the whole body of the comments as well.
So I think you just need to click on the Comments tab to change it back.
Try clicking the “Brief” tab.
