Comments

Comments can be attached to any node, and their settings are below. The display comes in two types: a 'flat list' where everything is flush to the left side, and comments come in chronological order, and a 'threaded list' where replies to other comments are placed immediately below and slightly indented, forming an outline. They also come in two styles: 'expanded', where you see both the title and the contents, and 'collapsed' where you only see the title. Preview comment forces a user to look at their comment by clicking on a 'Preview' button before they can actually add the comment.

Viewing options
The default view for comments. Expanded views display the body of the comment. Threaded views keep replies together.
The default sorting for new users and anonymous users while viewing comments. These users may change their view using the comment control panel. For registered users, this change is remembered as a persistent user preference.
Default number of comments for each page: more comments are distributed in several pages.
Position of the comment controls box. The comment controls let the user change the default display mode and display order of comments.
Posting settings
This option is enabled when anonymous users have permission to post comments on the permissions page.
Can users provide a unique subject for their comments?
