The new threaded comments is nice, you don’t have to post @name-of-the-commenter anymore! What’s more is that you can reply to the commenter within your admin panel.

I just have a little problem with it though, is it really better to position submit reply button to the right? I say it’s kinda against the flow from the rest of the forms in the admin panel where the save buttons are always to the left. Other than that, I’m cool with it.

The default behavior is that there can only be 3 levels but you can change it. I would tell you how if I know which file you need to edit. Meanwhile, you may want to read this thread about this topic, if that’s your thing.

Another this is that I loved how Awaiting Moderation and Spam won’t show up unless there’s a comment in it, I hope they bring it back.

Aside from what Matt told us last time, (that you can move the buckets again and you can even determine their visibility) you can also do a quick edit in the Manage Posts page. It’ll be the most basic stuff though, like the title, date, post slug, category and I supposed those are tags and its status.

One of my pet peeves in the manage posts area is this: There are 2 links that will lead you to viewing your post. I just think that it would probably be better to just make the Published link be a way to quickly change your post’s status. Or maybe just don’t make it a link at all.

Private post! Not that I’m using it now but I think it’s cool for those who still put very “personal” information on their blogs. You don’t have to create a password for each post now! :)
