Comment threads

Happy new year all.

I put the next code in the comments.php of a theme based on the result of an online theme styling tutorial, found on page http://codex.wordpress.org/Migrating_Plugins_and_Themes_to_2.7/Enhanced_Comment_Display

if ( have_comments() ) : ?>
<h4 id="comments"><?php comments_number('No Comments', 'One Comment', '% Comments' );?></h4>
<ul class="commentlist">
	<?php wp_list_comments(); ?></ul>
<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"><?php previous_comments_link() ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php next_comments_link() ?></div>
</div>
<?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>
	<?php if ( comments_open() ) :
		// If comments are open, but there are no comments.
	else : // comments are closed
	endif;
endif;

It should give classes to the comments along their depth. But I always get “depth-1”, also when it should be depth-2 or depth-3.

In wp-admin in settings >> discussion “Enable threaded (nested) comments 5 levels deep” is checked.

Do I maybe need to add something in the functions.php file?

I’m using the old form, maybe the cause is there.

Resolved! I replaced the old form by:

<?php comment_form(); ?>
