# Nested comments issue

 * I have a website [http://mushroompalace.com](http://mushroompalace.com). I run
   wordpress 3.1.3. I want the nested comments to go underneath each other. Not 
   with indents.
    A good example of what I mean in the Facebook Comments system.
   Because right now you can’t reply any more when the limit (I set my nested level
   to 5) of 5 replies is achieved. I’m looking for a good plugin to fix this. Or
   some code. I don’t want the Facebook plugin, because most of my readers grow 
   hallucinogenic mushrooms too and they obviously don’t want to be known via Facebook
   Comments.

       @import url("../twentyten/style.css");
   
       #site-title a {
           color: #009900;
       }
   
       .commentlist li.comment li {
       margin-left:0;
       }
   
       .commentlist li.comment {
       margin:0 0 0 30px;
       padding:0;
       }
       .comment-author cite,
       .comment-meta {
       margin-left:45px;
       }
       ```
   
 * That doesn’t seem right. The first comment is aligned with the replies.

 * Well – what is it that you want?

 * If everything is aligned, you can’t see who originally posted.
 * I took the example of facebook: [http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Xpp3UDWyLd4/TYl2yRf5AaI/AAAAAAAAAHg/4oVM1zxtJj4/s1600/facebook_comment.PNG](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Xpp3UDWyLd4/TYl2yRf5AaI/AAAAAAAAAHg/4oVM1zxtJj4/s1600/facebook_comment.PNG)
 * So the first comment could start at margin 0px and all the replies at 20px. I’m
   sorry if I didn’t make this clear earlier.

 * add this as well:
 *     ```
       .commentlist li.comment.depth-2 {
       margin:0 0 0 20px;
       padding:0;
       font-size:90%;
       }
       ```
   
 * font-size is optional – makes the writing a bit smaller – like facebook 😉

 * Is there any way to fix the limited amount of replies?
    I believe the maximum
   is 10. Can you change that to infinite?
