To the side of the main comments area, show an outline of the thread structure of all comments of a post (with each comment being represented by a box that shows just the author, time, and karma of the comment), and a sliding box that represents which comments are currently scrolled into view in the main comments area. The sliding box moves as the user scrolls the main comments area, and can be dragged for navigation, or the user can click anywhere on the sidebar to navigate directly to a comment. The sidebar can be independently scrolled if needed.
I think this feature will make it a lot easier to keep track of and navigate large comment sections.

Yeah, I basically want this to replace the ToC as you scroll past the post and into the comment section.
Yeah, I’ve been wanting this for awhile
