I'm with you there midmod, comment count makes the page look immediately more active and interesting . I also miss seeing the name of the latest poster on "Advice" pages, that and the beginning of their comment.

Until recently the site had a certain dynamism which is now missing with recent changes.

@ Emiy, another disconsolate user says :

" Yep, @havingfun, that's what I'm talking about too. What I've figured out (BUT IT'S A BUTT PAIN AND I WANT THE OLD SITE BACK) is to open up all the previous comments, and then look at the email to find a phrase, and then search on the page for that phrase. Then I can read that comment and the following ones. IS ANYONE FROM HOUZZ READING THIS? IT'S A BUTT PAIN AND I WANT THE OLD SITE BACK! Why on earth would they change something that was working so well? "

- which i rather echo.

Just wanted to say thanks for re-installing the comment count!

Oh , thats odd : i thought we were talking about "STORIES" pages, which still have no count for me, however i've always had story comments on the main page but as it's such a mess now i never bother to go there. Duh ...

magada: we are talking about Stories. The new count is rather discreet at the bottom right corner.

OK found it thx :) true it is rather discreet and on the WRONG side lol.
