what's with the comments section getting moved to bottom of profiles?

Question

Just saw on one of my ancestors' profiles that all the comments for it were moved from the right side of the page to the bottom,  What gives?  Not at all handy or useful where it is now.

Comments

Yes, but working with thousands of profiles per week, I / we only focus on the comments and major stuff such as merge proposals. I for one seldom if ever look at the weekly feeds (never ever). I do follow tagged LN'sAB as well, but we are allowed a limited number of those.

Ok, as an example [this is a question besides my point of comments being 'drop-boxes' - it has nothing to do with that], I archived 1 comment on this profile of which an unnecessary duplicate was made today but of which the bio anyway needed collatory bio-integration: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Néel-467 … Now can anyone inform me as to where that comment can now be seen (the archive?) …

Click the “view archived comments” button at the bottom of the comments section (it might only show up after a refresh if that is the first archived comment)

---

I honestly do not see it anywhere ...

---

Correction. I now see it. But I had to look for it. Seriously ...

---

Those two feautures should also be at the top of the profile.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Liard-1#comment_4176153 is on my profile, scroll down and take a look at the size of the picture in those comments.  Huge.  I frankly object to that, wasn't anywhere near that size in original format.  And was about another profile entirely, project related.

@Danielle

We will probably introduce some max-width for photos so they aren't as gigantic. I don't know if I've ever had someone leave me a photo in a comment so I didn't think to test for it.

It's listed here: https://trello.com/c/VgygrD61, but we aren't planning another update until early January.

---

ok, meanwhile, ask them to re-think the positioning on these, the bottom of profiles is getting really crowded, pending merges, categories, now this.  Very tired of having to scroll down to the bottom to see these things.

---

Indeed Danielle. I also just discovered that I had to re-edit the spaces between headings and pictures on the profile of my progenitor https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Andriesz-6 because since this re-arrangement large tracks of text started moving spatially. There are thousands of profiles out there that I shudder to think what the same consequences are for since this new initiative. Drat! (for keeping it civilised - I don't want to be swearing here ...)

thanks Dennis, seems they limit the tags on these ''announcements'', not a happy camper.

Instead of only looking at G2G for the items that you have tagged, select Questions at the top of the G2G to see 'all' questions.  The one about Comments from Chris is highlighted at the top of the Questions.

Linda, the problem is that these changes get done and then the ''question'' annoucing them gets only a very few tags, I cannot be following all the tags that exist, there's a limit on those in any case I believe for what you can follow.  I already have enough traffic from the projects I coordinate so that this traffic would get even heavier than it already is.  And I can't be checking ''all questions'' for the same reason, lots of them have no relevance to my part of the world.

---

All new features will have the “announcements” tag.

---

I try to check all questions every day or so. Many questions are posted with no tags, so it is easy to miss things.

Having announcements for a tag to follow would be good.

---

I simply don't have the time to be checking all questions, have added announcements to my existing tags for now.  Never saw any discussion on a proposal for this change.  Don't know if there was one.
