Tell your buddies at Gawker to make this an option instead of something we have to hack together with a script.

Very cool. Thanks!

This makes those 100+ commented articles infinitely easier to follow. Thanks!

Ben, will this function move to the other sites?

Very nice!

How do I get this to work? I installed Trixie, moved the script to the scripts folder, made sure the check mark was next to the script in Trixie, and restarted IE7. What else?

please add this to Deadpsin & Gizmodo!

And what of us Safari users? shafted again?

@BalknChain: I added it to all the Gawker sites myself. In Firefox, go to Tools > Add-Ons. Select "Options." Click "Add" and then add the url for each of the Gawker sites you want.

Example: for Deadspin, add "http://deadspin.com/*"

i wonder if this has something to do with why ive been logged out about 10 times today. weird. but cool add-on thank you!

@homerjay: Download Firefox.

Poor YogurtEarl. Isn't this about the fourth version he's written because the comments section keeps getting changed?

Thanks, Yog!

@RIP MRHANDS: I agree. Gawker has the technology. They can rebuild him.

@Buran: Yeah Yeah Yeah.... I just can't get into it. I've tried but I'm kinda stuck here.

I had to remove the black border on the left because it'd drop down to underneath the comment, too, not just next to the text.

And yeah, can't we get this built in as a toggleable option so it doesn't keep freakin' breaking?

@homerjay: I tried switching from Safari to Firefox multiple times. Three weeks was the longest I lasted. Don't do it.

@MissPeacock: thanks I'll try that

Greasmonkey. Every time I've tried it, I've run into performance issues, even after a complete uninstall. The only correction was reformatting the system and reinstalling. YMMV

@Bryan Price: I agree; nice idea, poor performance, at least on my older system here.

Of course, if Gawker actually cared about this nested comments thing, they could do it themselves internally.

Camino looks sad, says "d'oh".

@Michael Belisle: I tried Safari once. As soon as I saw that you can't extend it one bit, I switched back.

@TinkishlyDelightful: Agreed! Thanks so much for this.

@Buran: What do you mean, extend it?

So it works on Consumierst. Does it work on Consumerist, too?

I can tell you that without a doubt if it works on Consumerist, that it will also work on Consumerist. :)

Doesn't appear to work with Greasekit (greasemonkey clone for Safari).

:(

@Mike Nice one! Even the first few times I read your comment I didn't notice that mis-spelling.

@MissPeacock:
Indeed..

Testing... :)

yay! now i don't have to spend forever and a day trying to read the various conversations to see if someone has already said what i want to say.

This is the only site that hypes greasemonkey scripts to modify their own site. It's kinda ridiculous, really, when they could just implement the code themselves.

Oh, wow! This is awesome. Thanks, Mr. Yogurt!

And I still say wow! Consumerist has some lazy programmers! Other sites do it themselves whereas around here the reader is expected to design the page better themselves.

Lazy programmers. You're like the last major site on the web who doesn't have nested comments without the addition of some else's work.

Here's an idea: Pay the guy who made that script what he's worth and have him fix your broken website!

@MissPeacock: Did you have any trouble adding sites? I can't get Jezebel to work. I added jezebel.com and www.jezebel.com.

I feel like the only person in the world who doesn't use Greasemonkey or Adblock Plus. Seriously guys, the internet is just fine without them.

Sidenote: Consumerist, why did you change your favicon? I hope it's not a permanent change. It looks too much like a university logo. >.>

Need this on Jezebel. Like, yesterday.

And I agree, why not just add this to your code?

@Buran: Why would you want to extend Safari?

Apple products are without flaws. They are the sublime paragons of superlative perfection and unparalleled excellence. Only through Apple can we achieve true universality and totality. Amen.

@Michael Belisle: The leader is good. The leader is great. We surrender our will as of this date.

Actually, my Safari crashes all the time. I'm just SO used to it that I can't switch.

@nardo218: It's working on Jezebel for me. Did you add the asterisk at the end of the URL?

Is ANYONE able to get this working with Trixie, like it says it should in the article. ANYONE AT ALL? I only have IE on my work machine, and can only use IE.

rabiddachshund: It's about scratching an itch. When you consistently are annoyed by something a site does, you can either complain to the site owner, or fix it yourself. Hooray for power to the people.

I can think of one reason why they don't have nested comments by default, and that's because nested comments make back and forth arguments more likely. You often see the 3rd-11th levels of nested comments on slashdot entirely consisting of two people arguing back and forth about something fairly removed from the topic at hand. Non-nested comments breaks that up.
