Still hate it, for the same reasons I stated before. I didn't even respond to any secrets today because of that, and I know it'd be the same deal in the future (unless I suddenly find myself with tons of free time, which isn't gonna happen anytime soon).
Also, the whole "but you don't have to search anymore!" argument isn't actually true -- the threads end up on different pages, so you have to go through them all anyway to figure out which page the replies you're looking for are on.
Sorry, I just can't fathom why anyone would think this is a good idea!
But we are talking about 3 pages of numerically ordered comments vs 11 pages of comments in any old order.
It's like the difference between trying to find one particular DVD you want on a few shelves that have been ordered alphabetically vs finding multiple copies of the same DVD scattered all over a very large room that is a complete jumbled mess which also has multiple copies of other DVDs you don't want.
No where near the same.
And no, Find doesn't help much when you are looking for more than a couple of secrets. It just gets really annoying.
