What are the main things that you would change about our threaded comments? I've put up a post<http://code.blogger.com/2012/01/customising-threaded-comments.html>that gives some of the detail around our implementation, and I'm sure you could dig in, and re-implement it to your liking.

Brett, I don't understand what you mean by "... now with an optional extra field data:comment.inReplyTo which will contain the id of the parent comment, if there is one."
Can you show me an example of using *data:comment.inReplyTo*? I tried all kinds of things, but can't get it to work.
You can use this small amount of code(or something more comfortable for you):
Second that! The comment is original text, not a quote of something from another website. Why not simply use <p> tags as before?! Not to mention for people who added CSS to style <blockquote> that will now style comments as well, breaking their design.
And Brett, that shouldn't be something that users need to "re-implement" to our liking, since it's in the HTML standard. If we go in and change that it will likely break the next time you roll out changes...

It's a good post, I saw it. But I feel like that post is missing a few details. It'd be nice if you detailed the includables. You said we could overwrite them but I don't know what I'm overwriting. And my comments are formatted like blockquotes now. It makes zero semantic sense to be using the blockquote tag. Not to mention the CSS customizations I made last time all went out the window. Nothing got resused. And speaking of CSS, I don't like how there's a block of it after the header section. What's up with that? Was there no other way? Couldn't you link to a file instead and include that as part of all-header-content?
Now that I've seen the change I'm thinking of moving my comments to disqus. It might be time. I don't like to rely too much on 3rd party stuff but to be making such a basic mistake as using blockquote the way you guys did doesn't fill me with much confidence. I hate to say it but come on!
It's like your *ridiculous SPAN usage in the post editor.
Thanks for the feedback Alain-Christian. I've had a chat with the developers of the commenting system, and I am treating the usage of quotes as a bug to be fixed. I can't promise timelines, but I'm hoping we can fix this sooner rather than later.

I like the new system, but due to to some difficults to customize it, I decided to adapt the classic system to create my own version of threaded comments, using a new data tag that Brett share us kindly in this post http://code.blogger.com/2012/01/customising-threaded-comments.html

As far as I can see, the <blockquote> tag has been removed from the new comment system in the past couple of days. Thanks!
However, unfortunately, now I see that the 'Reply'-link has stopped working again, at least on my blog... :( [http://exde601e.blogspot.com/] Could you take a look at that if you get the chance? Best, George
