 * first, u set ure wordpress to allow 2 threads of comments (comment, and a single
   reply lane)
 * k then, lets try this use case:
 * u post a post right? right.
    post has a comment button right? right. u comment.
   u wanna reply to the comment so u press reply right? right. u wanna reply the
   threaded reply so u press the reply button right? rong. cz theres no reply button
   on the last reply, so u’ll have to go up to the original comment and press reply
   in order to reply the reply.
 * i want my reply button on the threaded reply.
 * thx chelly

 * If I’m not mistaken, the depth of threading allows for the button
 * If you want the button, you have to increse the threading number
 * The retarded look of your blog has to do with the coding….. as in how the css
   is set up to handle the appearance of your threaded comments.

 * I’m trying to explain to you that you have to have more than 2 levels to have
   the reply button. Simple as that. Or you will need to write your own plugin most
   likely. I don’t see any plugin that seems to do what you are after. Or, like 
   I said earlier you have to edit your theme to change the css for comment layout.
 * 3,4 or 5 level threading doesn’t have to look like 3 levels. Your css is just
   coded that way. As are most themes. I can’t give you specific guidance on recoding
   your theme, as all themes are different…. and it would be a pretty heavy rewrite.

 * yup…. how things are displayed are all in the css.
 * You can make level 3, level 4, etc, look exactly like level 2.
 * Then they look the exact same, but you can reply up to 4 times.
 * I’m glad you are catching my drift! good luck!

 * doode?
    is u ok with going a little technical?
 * i found the property lines:
 *     ```
       .commentlist li.comment { margin: 20px 0px; background: url(images/content_line.png) repeat-y 117px 0px; }
       		.commentlist li.comment ul { margin: 8px 0px 8px 117px; }
       ```
   
 * but, as u can see, all the threads’ positions are defined by a single value that
   slides them: 117px. if i change that 117, everything shifts.
 * i’m sad again.

 * So what happens if you change the 117px by just a little at a time until you 
   get the desired position?

 * Could you post the url of the site? It’s easier to work with the CSS if I can
   see exactly what is going on. 🙂
