'50 older comments' vs pagination
I've been using Vanilla 2 for a few months now and I adore it... but I'm finding the Facebook-style '50 older comments' functionality counter-intuitive - it does not feel like a better solution than traditional pagination.
On Facebook, where there are usually a smaller number of comments, it seems to work fine, but on a forum that can sometimes have a great deal of comments, it doesn't seem to 'fit'. I've found that the permalinks do not work properly and you can't link someone to a certain 'page' of comments - for example, there may be key things discussed via multiple comments on 'page 3' of comments.
No doubt this could be overridden with a plugin but just wanted to say it doesn't feel like a better solution than pagination.
What are others' thoughts?

You dug up a thread posted 2 years ago to say that?

Lol, that's why I deleted his comment to let the damn thread sink away again. Now we're doing the lol and lol+1 posts :-S
There was an error rendering this rich post.
Cool, no worries - feel free to delete my comment/s too.
