What does "Comment is below threshold" mean in the new forums?

Initially I though it meant said post received enough downvotes to be hidden away just like in the older forums. Except when I look at some posts, I noticed that the ones with these messages were in the positive ratings.

For instance, when I attempted to search for one of Statikk's comments in his recent QA, I wasn't able to find one of his replies by scrolling around till I noticed he has one post with this message on it. Upon opening it up, sure enough it was just that post I was looking for, and it had a POSITIVE 8 rating.

Does "Comment is below threshold" imply something differently than the old forums?

There was a bug where some comments with positive ratings were being hidden. The devs have pushed out a fix for it since. If you are still seeing this somewhere could you provide a screenshot so I can verify? Appreciate your help.

I noticed this too and actually don't know myself. I'll be sure to see if I can find the answer in my purusings and come back here, but until then have an upvote!

Well there are a few examples in Statikk's QA thread. One was from a guy named Gartoz with a positive 26 rating talking about AP mids.

And the other is Statikk answering a question I asked, which had a positive 8 rating.

Both were hidden despite their positive ratings.

erm...how in the world do you even add file attachments in this new system? I see a paperclip symbol, but I can only do one file at a time. Let's see if this works.

It sorta works, but how do I do TWO files then?

Could you try two things for me:

  1. Navigate to the thread and refresh a few times. Check to see if this resolves it.
  2. Clear your cache in your browser.

For attachments, you can only attach one file per comment currently.

Refreshing works. They're not hidden after 1 refresh now.

Do you still want me to clear cache?

Not necessary if you're seeing it correctly now!
