  • (2023-07-27) Starlord Stavanger: I can't believe how late to this game I am! Been on Reddit like 8 years, always used "new" Reddit for years, but switched to "old" Reddit and with the help of this amazing little extension, it makes using the comments section on old Reddit so much more enjoyable and I just love the colors of the retro one. Well done mate! I don't know if this extension is still updated by the maintainer or not, but fingers crossed this just keeps on working! 5 out of 5 stars.
  • (2023-03-31) Heretic Anthem: it does what it says
  • (2022-05-19) Andre Dimangadap: its really good...
  • (2018-04-28) Shahed Faisal: New reddit redesign has this feature built-in. This extension will still be useful for those who will stick to the old reddit.
  • (2018-02-13) heymish: why isnt this already a feature? thanks so much!
  • (2017-07-30) Jon Aseltine: Update2: Awesome! Back to 5 stars, where it should be. Update: the new version is a step in the wrong direction. The line colors were great for tying things together *without* collapsing. Now that everything is the same ugly yellow you can't see relationships between comments as easily. I've been using this extension forever and never rated it. Combine with RES and experience reddit as it should be.
  • (2017-07-24) Jose Delgado: Love the app and the new wider bar is way better since the line was way too thin and difficult too click on. Since the dev is very receptive to new ideas please make the minimalist option with different colors too. Great work!
  • (2017-07-21) Nandish Hegde: Indispensable if you use Reddit a lot. Dev is very receptive and the option to stick with the color-coded lines is appreciated.
  • (2017-07-20) Jordan Hopfner: Great little enhancement in addition to RES. Thanks!
  • (2017-07-11) Shu: doesn't work anymore ):
  • (2017-06-09) Nizar: Probably the only Reddit extension that I need to for Reddit.
  • (2017-04-18) Eli B: It doesn't work any longer, uninstalling.
  • (2017-04-14) Kapil Agrawal: Not working anymore. I liked it a lot. Is it because I'm on the latest chrome version?
  • (2017-03-19) Todd W: 5 (FIVE) STARS
  • (2017-03-11) Manik Jindal: This something I can't live without. Part of my reddit experience!!
  • (2017-02-25) Laga Mahesa: An extremely convenient addon.
  • (2017-02-23) Joseph D: works great
  • (2016-12-07) Merrill Whatley: Need a collapse all button now!
  • (2016-11-11) Joon Keat: Essential!
  • (2016-11-05) Constantin Huber: Perfect.
  • (2016-08-20) Finite Leigh: does EXACTLY what i says it would do. nice job
  • (2016-06-20) Taylor793: Awesome
  • (2015-09-30) Konporer W: its exactly what i wanted but theres issues, when you collapse a comment, its impossible to reopen it again becasue the + icon is blocked by the collapse line of other comments , the + icon is too small any way. example subre: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/
  • (2015-09-28) Nicholas Van Eck: I really like it but noticed that the lines just don't appear on certain subs. Is it possible that it would be disabled on some subreddits?
  • (2015-07-22) Bro: I can't seem to get it to work. Literally does nothing when I click the column.
  • (2015-07-18) Dessy Aitken: Tried this on a whim. Used it one single time and was compelled to come back and rate. This is seriously my new favourite extension.
  • (2015-06-16) MirosÅ‚aw Filip: I cannot believe this functionality is not a core part of Reddit. Thank you!
  • (2015-03-14) Sam A. Horvath-Hunt: I don't know how I ever used Reddit without this. As essential to me as RES.

Latest issues

  • (2021-12-12, v:5.1.0) Steven Weber: Doesn't work on certain subreddits
    /r/starwars, for one
  • (2018-06-25, v:5.1.0) Greg: Bad grammar in extension
    There is incorrect grammar in this paragraph -- it's ALWAYS means "it is" and never indicates possession -- remove the apostrophe from the first sentence: "Collapse a comment and all of it's replies by clicking on the column of the comment you wish to collapse."
  • (2018-06-13, v:5.1.0) Scroll
    Does the 'scroll animation' check box do anything for the retro layout? I've tried toggling but I don't notice a difference.
  • (2017-07-20, v:5.0.0) Nandish Hegde: Old lines
    Please give an option to have the old colored lines back or upload a legacy version of the extension separately.
  • (2017-04-20, v:4.0.0) Jordan Hopfner: RES Comment Hide Persistor
    Great extension but it breaks the "Comment Hide Persistor" in RES (where the state of collapsed comments is remembered). Comments are always expanded when you navigate back to a thread. Any chance of a fix?
  • (2017-04-18, v:4.0.0) Hide child comments
    Could you add an option to have the column hide all the child comments (if you're using RES), instead of collapsing the post?
  • (2017-04-14, v:4.0.0) Kapil Agrawal: Not working
    This plugin has recently not functioned. I tried removing and adding again, closing my browser, restarting my computer and checked on multiple subreddits. Neither the lines show, nor the functionality works. Please fix this.
  • (2016-10-18, v:2.0.9) Jordan Hopfner: RES Comment Hide Persistor
    Great extension but it breaks the "Comment Hide Persistor" in RES (where the state of collapsed comments is remembered). Comments are always expanded when you navigate back to a thread. Any chance of a fix?
  • (2016-07-27, v:2.0.9) David Lu: Doesn't work on certain subreddits
    On certain subreddits, like /r/hearthstone, it doesn't work unless subreddit style is disabled. The moderators want to know what part in CSS or something they have to change to ensure compatability.
  • (2016-07-14, v:2.0.9) Adam P: hey
    need a way to collapse ALL comments. Ideally on page load.
  • (2016-07-02, v:2.0.9) Tim Bridge: Any plans for a Firefox/Mozilla version?
    Hi, I love your extension. Thanks so much for writing and releasing it. I recently switched from Chrome to Firefox and I was wondering if you have any plans to implement a Firefox/Mozilla version? Thanks, Tim
