...and this "hot potato" is far off-topic for LWN. Plus this whole thing has been discussed at great length in the past, I really don't think we need to repeat it all. Please, let's stop here.

But. Something I've noticed seems to be happening more recently - we are getting more new comments in reply to old articles. And if you're reading in "Unread comments" mode, you have no clue what date these articles are.
Given the recent changes made to collapsing comments and all that stuff, is there any chance of the following:
Putting the article date at the top of the thread with the title so we know it's an old article?
And a little "nice to have" I've noticed that is nothing to do with the above - when reading in "unread comments plus parent" mode, sometimes there is a reply to the parent's parent as well, which then gets formatted as a completely different thread. I haven't a clue how much work it would be but would it be possible to select all the comments that are going to be displayed, then thread them, so in this case they would all appear to be coming off the "parent's parent" for better context?

Making all articles over three months (picked at random) old moderated?
