Commenting is the lifeblood of the community, and those deviant-to-deviant interactions are what set DeviantArt apart from the rest of the Internet. We want to keep the commenting experience as natural as participating in a chat with a friend, and as visually pleasing as the rest of the content on DeviantArt. When we sought to improve comments, we knew that the areas most in need of focus were threading and context. Long threads can start to get complex, so we improved the flow to remove interruptions, to remove paging every few comments. The full conversation is right there in one popup after clicking "view entire conversation." For better readability and clearer hierarchy, we’ve also added containers around each comment. Then, to tease the complex from the chaos, we added threading relationships that display on hover, linking child comments to their parents. This can be especially helpful on threads with several different conversations stemming from one topic. All the benefits
