Bugreport (regression since 1.0.4): The like/dislike_author buttons don't work. They do update the "authorPreferences" key in webappstore.sqlite, but they don't affect the display of comments, nor is there any form of UI feedback that the button has been pressed (such as the bolding that used to happen).

Another bug: If there are more than 800 new comments, and I scroll to the bottom of the first page of 800, there's a dynamically generated "There are more comments available" link. If I scroll to the new bottom (which is slightly further along after that link has been appended to the page), then another copy of the same link is appended. Etc.

Linux / Firefox 7.0.1 / LessWrong Power Reader 1.0.6

Thanks for the report. Both bugs should be fixed now, as of version 1.0.7. I also changed the script to display 1600 comments at once on Chrome. (800 on Firefox because its javascript engine can't handle that many comments.) You should get an auto-update notice when you visit the reader page.

Thanks for the patch. With 1.0.7, like/dislike_author works for new comments, but doesn't affect old comments that are only displayed because they're parents of new comments.
