All replies visible, expanded, by default.

A continued request that I receive from my users is that replies stay visible, open, expanded, by default.  Collapsed replies is especially annoying when you have multiple replies to replies, you have to click, click, click, click, yourself to death to see all the replies and it is just a clunky feature of Dolphin.

I have not been able to find a solution in the forums.  What is needed is a code hack that does not hide the replies in the first place.  That is the solution I want, to not hide replies in the first place.  If anyone can help here; and I am not the only one that has requested this, then please post which files, code segments, etc., that we need to work on to stop the hiding of replies by default.

That's why I discarded the wall and profile comments and got EVOWall instead to cover both. Of course, the only drawback is that it is not applicable to the wall of lets say groups or events and so on. So yes, collapsed replies in these modules tend to force members to click more than is really necessary. :(

I am hoping the Dolphin experts (and of course that includes the developers) will tell me where to start looking to do this.  The collapsed replies, especially the nested ones, has been a sore spot with users since I opened the test site.  For one, it is easy to over look the "x replies" below a comment (I did just the other day) and having to click a dozen or two dozen times to get to see all the replies to replies is just clunky at the most.  I was hoping that 7.1 would have at least allowed a switch "collapse replies" with a checkbox for "yes" for those that like it and "no" for those of us that don't like it.  I would really like to fix this for the production site.

Who are the developers?  I know they can tell be which bleeding files I need to hack.  I got another complaint on this today, it is just plain idiotic to have to click a dozen times to see all the replies.  It should be mandatory to actually use a for real social network before creating one :LOL:  I know a lot of work went into creating Dolphin and I do appreciate the work the coders have put into the application.  However, just because you can do something; in this case hide the replies, does not mean you should do it.  Please, a little help here; I don't mind doing the work I just want a little bit of direction.
