For some reason my version of tapa doesnt have the doubletalk issue
You sure about that? I'm pretty sure I've seen it from you before.

Very rarely. Sometimes if my WiFi drops in middle of responding, when it reconnects it'll double, but usually it only posts once

This might have been suggested before but can we get threaded comments on the DDMS comment section? I don't usually read through comments but when I do it's a complete disaster trying to navigate through who is responding to whom.

Sounds pretty basic

There has to be a simple add on for that

Yup they're all over the place for Wordpress. Just a matter of picking one and implementing it. Just please don't choose a facebook only comment system.

My beef with threaded comments is that you need to read through everything to find the latest comment.

For replying for you it might be harder but for end users it's easier to read your replies which are the ones that matter!!!

I haven't looked at anything out there, but I'll be surprised if there's no threading plugin that provides a time-based sorting that you would find acceptable

Doing some basic research seems that most plugins allow for comment sorting by date/time but that's only the parent comment. Perhaps there is one plugin out there that allows for comments to be unthreaded and then sorted by date/time. But Dan maybe you only need that on the Admin level.

Am I the only one that is annoyed when following a post on another blog and having to hunt for the new comment every time a new comment is left?

Comments arent followed on DDMS like other sites, thats what the forums for.
Comments are usually looked at 1ce or 2ce not revisited often.

I'm sure there's a way to do it where it sorts by threads with the most recent comments

+1 I kind of like it the way it is now. 90% of the time you know who is responding to who. The other 10%, sacrifice for having things in some sort of order.

How many times do you REvisit the comments page to check it up for updates?
Dan do you have this stat?

I doubt it would be often...
