[Feature Request | Help Programming a Feature]I want an l=c for all posts that opens a tab in the background or ability to comment inline (similar to camera+ button, would be a comment+ button)

I there are many links [pictures especially] that I see (with the cool camera+ icon) and would like to comment on said photos, but it is really annoying to have to close the picture tab every time.

-or-

a 'comment' button which displays the comments of a post and allows you to comment without opening a new tab.

I think I can learn enough JavaScript(?) in the next four days (off from work for next 4 days) to write the former; could you please point me in a direction?

for the latter: I'm a Perl programmer, I could probably hack together some client script to do this, but it would be clunky... I think there is a better solution though, would love some thoughts. Probably, maybe ties in with the former?

do you just want to comment on the photo, or do you want to see comments, too?

If there are any comments I would like to seem them.

You mean like this?

Similar.

^This broke my reply button... (when I opened the comments by alt-clicking and selecting "open in new tab" clicking "reply" did noting. I disabled and reloaded the page and the reply button worked) Also, I don't like how he rebuilt the comments.

When I view Reddit I use the night theme; viewing comments parent and children alternate between black and a slightly darker black (grey and black really) with a white outline. This had a grey background and all of the comments were black.

I know it seems minute but the contrast really does IMO help readability (or conversely the lack of contrast hurts readability.) I stare at a computer screen 12+ hours a day, so I need things to be easy on my eyes.

I really liked the reply drop down, (Again, the colors were all wrong.) but I could not click reply to anything but the main post. Also, the ability to re-size the comment window would be nice.

So yea, that's a good start.

I have no such issue.

But, perhaps ask the author to fix that bug then if it pretty much is what you want?

IDK, I always find the strangest bugs, and I always have configuration... issues. If something can go wrong, it will.

You should report your color scheme issues to the dev. However, the reply button bug is worth diagnosing, perhaps try disabling other scripts that affect @include reddit to see if you have a conflict?
