I’ve noticed a number of comments that the WordPress comment nesting system is confusing, making it difficult for some to find their comments. So I will return the comment system to the previous comment style where there is no comment nesting. Instead, comments will simply appear under a post in the order in which they are written.
If, however, there are birds of a feather who prefer nesting, feel free to comment about that on this post. And if we discover that there are significant numbers of birds of different feathers, we can even hold a vote about the matter.
Now, all you birds of a feather, it’s nice to have you around. Stick around the nest, even if the nesting is gone!
that’s very democratic of you, Wayne
I like the old way. Its easier to follow new comments and the e-mail subscription feature seems to work better.
I prefer the old linear method. It’s hard to keep track of new comments the nested way. (Yes, I’m still here.)
Thanks for the change back after exploring the alternative.
Yay, Bridget. I hadn’t heard from you here in a while and was hoping you were still somewhere close by…
so glad you returned. I found the nesting very confusing to follow. but thanks for asking
I found it difficult to follow also. I’d be scrolling all over the place trying to find responses.
Thanks Wayne
This is great. Tonight I’ve already had an easier time following all the posts and can now again keep up again! Thanks!
The nesting made it extremely difficult to keep track of comments.
We have three budgerigars and one cockatiel.
David: do they nest?
(What is a budgerigar?!)
Hi Bonnie
A budgerigar is what Scot McKnight calls a parakeet.
We used to have nesting boxes and we had some fun with baby budgies, which do not look like birds at all, but more like baby frogs. Except of course that baby frogs do not look like frogs …
So my wife called our first baby Froggy.
When we moved to Bathurst, 9 years ago, Eric and Ivy [a blue and a white budgie] had just produced four budgies, whom my wife named Tinker, Tailor, Soldier and Sailor.
Two of these remain, but they looked so much alike we are not sure of the name of one of them, but we do know that Soldier is the other, because Soldier was a female.
We do not however encourage our female friends to go onto the battlefield.
Our remaining cockatiel is Cowper [pronounced Cooper], after the poet William Cowper, who also pronounced his name that way, we understand.
