Re 8, another good thing to do would be to load all the damn comments from the outset, or at least have the initial number it loads be like 250 or 400 rather than 50. If this is problematic for performance reasons, then I think that’s best considered a performance issue that needs fixing and working around it by loading only a small number of comments is, well, only a workaround, and not a very nice one.
[EDITED to add:] OK, more than two minutes elapsed after hitting submit with only an empty comment showing for me, at which point I’m going to guess it’s never going to appear. (Maybe if I reloaded the page.) I guess there’s a timeout or something?
