"View Comments" Revamp
We've rebuilt the comments page, to make it easier to find recent comments, where the action is. The recent comments at the top of the main VS site will bring you to the page.
I hope the way it works is pretty self-explanatory.
The [CH] link at the bottom of individual comments will also bring up a single member's comment history.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
There may be bugs - As usual, let us know here of any you find.
Ooh, I like it, v. cool!
Nice. Now it's easier to find fun threads to read instead of having to click on all the vids first..thanks dag.
eeeeeexcellent... great work guys...
I love this new feature and please allow me to extend my admiration to the implementers! A brief bug report though:
Links to "Edit this comment written by you" from http://www.videosift.com/comments.php do not include the relevant story ID, which causes the resulting request to return no data.

Thanks HamFist, you're right. We'll squash it.
Now that users can edit comments from both the video and the view comment views, would it make more sense to return the user to the page from which he clicked the "Edit this comment" link rather than to the comment thread as currently implemented?
Edit: Maybe the ideal solution is to make comment editing an AJAX behavior? ie:
1. User clicks "Edit this comment",
2. The relevant textual value of the comment div (identified by id attribute wholecomment[some integer]) becomes the value of a text field along with a 'submit comment' button,
3. User makes changes to the comment and clicks submit,
4. Upon clicking submit, the new comment value is POST'd to videosift asynchronously and the user is free to continue reviewing recent comments.

We would like to do full ajax commenting, as it would let us comment while videos are still playing.
