Replies and recent comments

[DeMartMan]

I have been trying to refine my blog, but there are two things which I have not been able to figure out. First I was able to have the recent comments to show the author and titles, but only the first 10 recent comments. I would like to add to my recent comments a button which allows people to see the next 10 recent comments. The second thing is, I would like to change how the replies are seen. There is one older woman that goes on to the point that some are irritated, if the replies were seen as in Netscape then they could view only the replies that they wished to see. Here is an example of how I would like to make the replies look; http://boards.netscape.com/netscape/art_threaded.mbl?boardId=472202&artNum=244902&sort=r_date&tsort=r_date

I would like to add to my recent comments a button which allows people to see the next 10 recent comments.

We do not provide the ability to access more than the last 10 comments via the component system, so this feature is not currently possible.

I would like to change how the replies are seen.

It may be possible to provide some of the appearance elements of this style of bulletin board by modifying the article template by adding some Javascript/DHTML to create a list of comments, where clicking on a comment title for example expands the comment and displays the full comment text... I don't know a lot of Javascript/DHTML to provide help with this, but if anyone on the forum does, I will be glad to work with you to explain how to put it into our template structure...
