Another update on SB Nation’s commenting system

SB Nation continues to work on improving their Coral commenting system. Here are the latest updates that went into effect starting Friday, December 18:

• We’ve removed ‘Read more of this conversation’! Yeah, we know. It wasn’t great. From Friday, no longer will ongoing conversations be pushed to another page. Instead, when they hit a certain depth, the view stays flat, and you can see who is replying to whom. This was developed in conjunction with our Feedback Group. Like everything we do, it’s a work in progress. We’ll be watching to see how it’s used, and how we can make it better. Let us know what you think.
• You can now see who’s Rec’ing your comments. Inside the ‘My Profile’ tab (where your comment history and notifications are), all your comments with Recs will now have a small arrow - click that to see who’s appreciating what you’re putting down.
• There’s a keyboard shortcut to quickly post a comment. We know what it’s like when you’re typing fast on Game Day and you just want to say it without moving the mouse. Hitting CONTROL-ENTER now posts your comment quick-smart without having to click ‘submit’.
• Better navigation. When you hit the bottom of the comments, you can now jump to the Discussions or Profile tab via a couple of easy links right there.
• Plus a bunch of small fixes and improvements.

What’s being prioritized for early 2021:

• Unread comments / Z Key. We hear you on this one, loud and clear. We’re working on it.
• A bunch of other improvements and features. Something else on your wishlist? Let us know: coralsupport@voxmedia.com
