Bring up a story by clicking on its title.

You should see a story with all the comments that have been made so far. There are three panes: the story pane, the comment pane, and the navigation pane.

The comment pane is the bottom pane. There are two kinds of comments: official comments and follow-ups. Official comments have the tan background color, and follow-ups have a white background. Comments you haven’t read yet have a red background.

Scroll through the comments and read them all.

Look at the navigation pane on the right. By clicking on the names in the navigation pane, you can quickly move around within the comment pane.

Click on a few names in the navigation pane. Notice the comment pane scrolls to show that person’s comment.

If you’d like more space to read the comments, just drag the line between the story and comment panes up.

You may want to hide the story completely while you read the comments; click the ‘Comments Only’ link at the top of the navigation pane in the ‘Show’ section. You can also choose ‘Story Only’ or ‘View Both’, depending on what you want to look at.

If you have unread comments, you can click the ‘Unread Comments’ in the navigation pane to scroll the comment pane to the first unread comment.
