Ajah Comments - Cap the number of comments shown

I hate when I go to a blog post on a large blog such as John Chow dot Com and there are tons and tons of comments. I REALLY WISH he would install Ajah Comments. It doesn’t keep visitors from commenting once it reaches 50 comments but when the page loads it will only show the latest 50 comments.

Ajah Comments is a great plugin to keep large blogs from having extremely long load times. The first time I have a post on either one of my blogs that has 50 or more comments I’ll install this plugin.

Here is an example of it in action:

Ajah Comments Example

One down side that would really annoy me is sometimes a lot of people will be commenting on a post and referencing a comment that is more then 50 comments above it. The creator of this plugin thought about that though, there is a link above the comments that allows you to see all of the comments on the post instead of just the 50.

If you have a large blog go ahead and pick up Ajah Comments.

    Challenge accepted :) I’d recommend “Subscribe to comments”. That’s mainly for lazy people like me who want to follow a discussion just by mail :)
