"I wanted to suggest that there could be a separate comment thread for each secret, but someone already suggested it and there was a concern about loading times.

I would rather bear the longer loading times for separate comment threads for each secret than painstakingly search for responses to specific secrets on each page of comments (and then going back to look if anyone's responded since last check).

There are other benefits as well:
- Questions about a specific secret (Eg. What episode is this secret from?) can be answered once for everyone without being repeatedly asked and answered over the course of 10+ pages.
- It could encourage people to comment on a secret that doesn't have any comments yet.
- It would save the Ctrl and F buttons of keyboards everywhere.

Could there at least be a poll about this suggestion please?"

Why *do* they do that? Expand ought to expand EVERYTHING from that point on. Is that a programming glitch?

But for those who do, why doesn't it expand all?

man sorry. majorly off topic. it's 4:30 am and I'm still stuck at work.

I have "expand" on some comms (I think F!S is one of them) but not others...it's weird.

I need to get one of those firefox addons.

It's to preven the database servers from getting overloaded with requests.

Odd though. I can't imagine it would account for that many more.

For an individual thread in an individual journal/community it's not going to add much, but when you have a bunch of users hitting the databases as often as they hit livejournal's it starts to add up fast.
