Make comments easier to read
UPDATE: With the recent changes to the comment layout, this isn't needed any more. Stylish is still fun to play with though. Check it out!
I find the comment threads to be a bit tough to follow. Definitely hard to scan when the threads get complicated anyway.
To make this easier for myself I made a Stylish script for Firefox. You can see the before and after pictures below. Try it out and let me know how it works for you.
Step 1 - Install Stylish for Firefox
Step 2 - Install the Lined Comments Script

Would it be easier to fix the site, so that it always does that. Oh well, awesome.

Personally, I think it makes the comments a bit to 'busy' if you know what I mean..
PS... so if we shout loudly enough about how good this is will the small css change required to add the vertical line be implemented? :D

If you can get firefox add-ons for chrome then yes otherwise no
Thank you! I think one major contributor is when people have avatars without a defined border (with a white background) but this works great!
Wow, that really does make it a lot easier to follow whats going on. Surprising how something simple can make a big difference.
Excellent! I've been hoping for something like this since I first found Instructables...most forums I've seen already have something like this, and they're a lot easier to follow. Thanks for putting this out here!

*is missing Lithium Rain's Stylish Instructable modifications*
:D So glad you liked them! They still exist - need a link?
I have a slight suggestion (Not about this script), but would it be possible to make a script, or make the site like this, where the comments are straight down, instead of one to the left, the one below it a bit to the right, the one after that more to the right, and ect?
Just a suggestion, thanks.
Just a suggestion, thanks.
Is that a no? Wait, what's the opposite of no? The good one? Ummm....Yes?

Just installed it. The simplest things can take the frustrating out of even the most simple problem.
Glad you like it. Funny that you should be the first one to see this since you're in the example.
