Well, I think this is a pretty simple and useful feature that should just be built into the forum - it's just a different ordering on the 'threads' link.

In other words, I want the content to be identical to what is on the 'threads' link, but in a simple, sequential list with most recent at the top. If your tool can do that, I'd love to see a URL to do it.

Oh, so even if there's a child that's new you want the whole thread to move up?

That's a good request. Yeah, go to PG :) Doesn't make sense to ask people to login/type in a username a second time for my interface. And there's no other way to tell who you are.

Hmm, it might be doable as a greasemonkey script. But that'll only reorder threads on the first page..

Update: Heh, I just realized my system already supports it: http://hystry.com/newsyc/follow/?arc,lojic

It shows all threads involving you in reverse chronological order. It doesn't show trees, instead it shows each leaf and the context includes path to root.

Cool, I actually found a comment on that URL that I had missed. The reason I missed it is because it wasn't in my 'threads' area because it was a reply to someone else's comment, not mine.

Apparently the 'threads' link won't show comments to your own submissions unless you're in a comment thread, but I'm generally interested in any comment to one of my submissions (hmm... that could get lengthy though :( )

Your ordering is quite what I had in mind. I was basically looking for:

  1) collect all comments that are either on one of my submissions or threads.
  2) sort in reverse chronological order

hmm... I think that should've been "isn't quite what I had in mind" :(

:) Glad it works. I love it when my code surprises me in pleasant ways.
