This is a good feature but I notice that I have to scroll around to find a comment because, as you say they aren't at the bottom. This isn't bad if the overall thread is short but after several replies that have turned into individual threads it gets harder to find an individual comment. >From the home page I'm notified that chris replied to a comment but when I go there I have to search for the comment that chris made because it could be anywhere; in the beginning or at the end and anywhere in between. The more the comments the longer it takes to find.
