[[!meta title=“View full context”]]
In discussion forums with a nested comment section, I’ve always wanted a “show context” feature that shows the FULL context, defined as:
- All ancestors of a comment
- All siblings of both the comment and its ancestors that were posted chronologically before the comment or the ancestor they are a sibling of.
Example of the full comment tree, with [timestamp]:
- [1:00]
- [3:00]
- [6:00]
- [4:00]
- [5:00]
- [8:00] COMMENT!
- [7:00]
- [5:00]
- [10:00]
- [3:00]
- [2:00]
- [9:00]
Example of the full context:
- [1:00]
- [3:00]
- [4:00]
- [5:00]
- [8:00] COMMENT!
- [5:00]
It lets you see the comment’s ancestors (what most sites show for “context”), plus some additional context relating to what other comments were visible at the time – because it’s fairly common for people to refer to a sibling comment (“as [person] said…”). At the same time, it doesn’t break the chronological order or show entire comment threads that are irrelevant.
