Remove comment count when there are none? #45

Closed Lux-Delux closed 9 years ago

Just an idea...

Since we already have a message 'be the first to comment', having 'SHOWING 0 COMMENTS:' above it seems unnecessary.

Imo, it would look cleaner without it, what do you think?

Since the sort dropdown menu isn't displayed without any comments, the count should probably not be displayed either. It might look weird for there to be no count, and then there be a count once someone posts... I can't help but feel like the form to post a comment shouldn't be visible ever until a user actually clicks something. Similar to Google+, YouTube, etc.

A webcomic website called "Tapastic" has a really simple comment system. They handle it like so:

Tapastic Comments

Of course theirs can remain minimalistic because they require you to have an account to post, so they don't need to have fields for name, password, e-mail, website, etc.

Whoah that's a great system.

Perhaps make something similar with the inputs hidden, when a user clicks they are displayed.
