I revamped the entry page for commenting. First of all, the Leave a Comment form is now at the bottom of the page. If you don't feel like scrolling through all the comments to get to it, never fear. There's a Leave Comment link at the top of the comments list to skip to the end of the page.
So here's where things get REALLY COOL (assuming this all works as it should)....
Leaving a comment will no longer refresh the page. It will simply scroll to the appropriate spot, and the new comment will fade in as if by magic.
Trust me, when you start replying to comments on your entry en masse, you are going to LOVE this.
Heck, you could even leave running commentary on a Youtube video while it continues to play. The possibilities BOGGLE THE MIND.
EDIT: Here's something to listen to while you leave comments that magically fade in. It helps set the mood.

THANK YOU for the not refreshing comment/addition of scrolling to the comment thing! I think about this every stinkin' time I leave a comment and have to scroll back down to read other comments made or whatever. Yay! Long live Simple Mind!!!
simple mind Deleted user ⋅ November 01, 2013
Yeah, hopefully it's one more thing to make it easier to interact in the comments section without it being a chore!
Echo ⋅ November 01, 2013
oooooh!
Deleted user ⋅ November 01, 2013
Hey, that fade-in is snazzy! Almost as cool as Star Trek doors!

Whoosh

You AJAX'd it?
simple mind Deleted user ⋅ November 01, 2013
I did!
Deleted user ⋅ November 01, 2013
Sweet. It works great. You're a genius, man.
simple mind Deleted user ⋅ November 02, 2013
With the help of jQuery of course. ;-)
Deleted user simple mind ⋅ November 02, 2013
jQuery is the shit. It should be a standard part of Javascript.

Wicked Nights ⋅ November 02, 2013
Well beam me up Scotty!
simple mind Wicked Nights ⋅ November 02, 2013
We can't take much more cap'n, she's breakin apart!
Wicked Nights simple mind ⋅ November 02, 2013
It was always amazing how many times Scotty said that & yet still pulled that miracle out of his pocket. Actually met James Doohan a couple times & it always threw me off not hearing him speak with a Scottish accent.
simple mind Wicked Nights ⋅ November 02, 2013
Heh, I didn't realize the actor wasn't really Scottish.
james ensor ⋅ November 02, 2013
The fade-in is very cool!
simple mind james ensor ⋅ November 02, 2013
Materialize! (I'm still having fun with it myself)
Life Is For Living ⋅ November 02, 2013
Totally geeking out over the magic fade in. Awesome!

Had to listen to Europe. Flashbacking to the 80s has commenced.
Deleted user ⋅ November 02, 2013
Cool :-)
kalakri ⋅ November 02, 2013
Oooh, now I see the Leave a Comment option. Scrolling was no fun! Thanks!! :D
Brooksee ⋅ November 02, 2013
Still had to scroll to the bottom of the page to leave this comment, regardless though it is still insanely easy leaving comments and entries via my phone, which is my primary resource for writing and following fellow PB'ers. Thank you for making it so user friendly in mobile format!
simple mind Brooksee ⋅ November 02, 2013
You're welcome! Websites that aren't mobile-friendly are destined to die off like the dinosaurs, in my humble opinion. :)
hoops ⋅ November 02, 2013
Yeah. Loving that new feature. I wasn't a fan of always having to scroll back when replying to multiple notes. It was a minor annoyance, but an aggravating one. This new fix is the hippo's balls!
(hippo's balls is a new thing I'm trying out. it means good.)
simple mind hoops ⋅ November 02, 2013
I like it! Prosebox, now with the hippo's balls!
Silverstar46 ⋅ November 04, 2013
Yeah, I'm so glad I read this entry because I was getting kind annoyed scrolling to the bottom everytime I wanted to write a note and now I can just click the link I really didn't notice.
Hmm.. Maybe you could make the Leave a Comment bigger or in a bright color or something? I'm thinking for newbies that join in a month and haven't read this entry they'll be as annoyed as I if they're also as unobservant as I apparently am! haha
simple mind Silverstar46 ⋅ November 04, 2013
Yeah, it is pretty subtle... looks more like a label than a link. I could definitely improve that!
edna million ⋅ November 04, 2013
Oh, very nice!
read.my.lips ⋅ November 04, 2013
Love!
EvequeFou ⋅ November 21, 2013
Minor nitpick: The number of comments doesn't update when this effect happens. :-)
EvequeFou ⋅ December 26, 2013
...and I just noticed you fixed that. Good job!
