I only learned about it because I know some people who used to work for LJ! It's one of those hidden useful things.

Basically, at the end of any URL for an entry page, you add ?view=flat to the end (or &view=flat , if there's already a ? in the URL) and it flips the comment pages into flat mode; what that does is display all the comments in the order they were posted, instead of in comment threads. Then you go to the last page of comments to see all the new ones. You stay in flat mode until you leave that post or you click on the "thread" or "parent" links under a comment, which puts you back in that comment's thread.

Unfortunately, the only way I know of to go into flat mode in the first place is to actually type view=flat in the URL, which is scary for a lot of people. :D So just putting a link to a flat-mode page in the original post helps a lot.

You can see how they did it on wintergameskink, the first ETA on this post has a link to flat mode for that post.

(I assumed you guys knew about it already! Wow, I am astonished at how well you've been keeping up with fills then. You're amazing.)
