Re: "Oooooh! So you can sort the comments by oldest-first on..."
On Station, there was a discussion about the comment order and people were split pretty much 50/50 on which is better. As you may know, Station uses newest-first order for comments.
I went with the newest first default because it allows quickly seeing the latest comment(s) in long threads, and it is consistent with the main page's order, but personally I use oldest-first as I like the chronological flow.
Checking the database, only about 14% of users have switched their comment order to oldest-first. I don't know how many have noticed that the setting exists, though...

@skyjake: No problem... I'm just happy the option does exist... I personnally like better this way, but I can understand that there's a logic in liking newest-first better...
I found out from this post. Maybe more will switch now.

Oooooh! So you can sort the comments by oldest-first on Bubble... Beautiful! A much more natural reading experience this way... For those of you who were wondering, it's in the "Settings" page of your user dashboard.
