Always thinking of how we can improve your experience on the website, we though that we would change the order that the comments are posted. PREVIOUSLY, the first message was posted on top with newer comments below. NOW, the freshest comments are posted on top as the older messages climb down the ladder.

PREVIOUSLY, the first message was posted on top with newer comments below. NOW, the freshest comments are posted on top as the older messages climb down the ladder.
We want to know what YOU think. Which way should we keep? What makes you the happiest? What is the most convenient for you? Please tell us by leaving a comment.
IMPORTANT: Please start each comment with either YES (that means that you prefer the new way, fresh messages on top) or NO (old way, fresh messages on bottom). BE SURE to write YES/NO with CAPITAL LETTERS.
Example:
YES – I prefer the new way because I am the most interested in the newest comments.
NO – I prefer to read the comments chronologically as they were posted.
Depending on the feedback, we will either keep the new way, or revert to what was in the past. Its your choice!
Feedback will be accepted until Monday, the 1st of September. Help us make a decision with your feedback!

NO - because it is new and DIGITAL. I want it all back analogue, like in a book, in a magazine, in a fabulous lomogoodies manuals and so on... :) Except maybe there could be an exact time of each comment in place of "1 hour ago". If there is a problem, of fixing the time, you write those comments, maybe we could make a LOMO TIME? Let's say 00:00 is when the London has 12:34... no, no!! just kidding bout that one :)
champi
NO... Better cronologically in my opinion!
daniwahlers
YES
drudolph
NO
krabbpojken
YES - the most interesting part of the conversation is always the most recent.
myriam-l
NO. chronological is more... logical :-) the occidental language is supposed to be read from the top to the bottom, no ? otherwise we could also try from the right to the left ?! hihihi
and from the newest to the oldest means we would read some reactions before what caused them or answers before questions... would be weird, no ?

NO - reading like a book is better. I don't want to have to scroll all the way down just to have to scroll up again. Also, since the box for adding new comments is at the bottom, it makes sense to be able to see what has been written most recently at the bottom too. Thanks for asking us :)

And a delete option for photo submissions!
angel-headed_hipster
NO - I definitely prefer the comments chronologically. I think it's much easier than having to scroll right to the bottom and read upwards.
tyusy
anarchy
NO - I definitely prefer the old way! But I reckon it would be quite easy (code wise) to give the user the option of chosing with a button (for switching between the two modes)...
taringkelinci
NO – I prefer to read the comments chronologically as they were posted.

recurving
@superlighter: no, we didn't make the choice already. we just reversed the comments for the time of the this voting so people can see how it would look like...
superlighter
@recurving: thanx for the answer! I feel me more relaxed :) however a button to choice between the two mode should be the right way so everybody are happy!
jrjw
NO - the old way is much more (chrono-) logical!
mephisto19
NO again and again. it is really stupid to have this box on bottom and the latest reply on top when so many answers were posted. if you want to reply to several people you have to scroll up and down all the time. if you change it, please put the box on top. that would be cool if you are lloking through a gallery and want to write something to pictures. so maybe YES if you change the place of the box....
golfpunkgirl
YES :)
weechonghooi
NO...
since the comment box is at the bottom, I think it's easier to see after a msg is posted.

Absolutely agree. From time to time we must change. It helps for advance :)

YES- I also wish there would be a way to quote what a previous person said, instead of always having to type @______. That would be very convenient.

Dear Lomographers!
As some of you have suggested, the new system makes no sense if the comment box is on the bottom. As such we have placed the comment box above the comments for now, where it will stay until Monday next week (1st of September).
The reason that we asked for your opinion on the issue was, as most of you know, that everything else on the site is organized in such a way that the newest post is on top (news, magazine, photo uploads) as is the organization many other popular websites.
Depending on what the final toll is on Monday the comments will be organized accordingly.
Lomo On!
vicuna
I find it ok if the comment box is on the top, instead of scrolling down, but I really prefer to read the comments in chronological order, oldest on top and newest at the end.......
superlighter
it's no fun to read answer before the question.
maybe it's usefull something like on YouTube comments, a "replay" button so that my opinion go below the comment I want to replay.
mephisto19
hmmm..... the box is better here if you leave the comments that way.... but still there is this voting and more people said NO, no?!?
xbalboax
i already voted, just wanted to state why i voted yes.
it matches the rest of the site, newest news feeds are up first, newest blogs are up first, newest gustbook entries are up first, newest lomohome blogs are first, newest mission entries are up first. i think the comments should be the same way.
i think the comment box should be on the bottom. but to avoid endless scrolling to get to the bottom, maybe the there should be a max of maybe 10 comments and then older comments would go to a new comment page. kinda like how youtube and flickr have the comments set up.
xbalboax
oh yeah there should also be a way for the user to edit or delete a comment after posting
lucasjakobsson
@ mephisto19
The comments will stay this way until monday the 1st of September. Then we will go through all the comments and count all the votes and see how it is that you have choosen. Until then we will keep the polls open!
u-t-e
NO, 'cause I would like to read comments in a chronological order. Usually, when there are new posts, I want to read every comment, that's why to me it differs from new blogs or guestbook entries (my statement to xbalboax opinion). There are, by far, not as many new blogs as there are new comments. I prefer the traditional way, 'cause hey: That's how we write as well. From left to right, and from - attention please - top to bottom.
tmmluis
YES – I prefer the new way because I am the most interested in the newest comments.
