Dreamwidth: The Nifty Things You Might Not Know

Threaded comments are great, but sometimes you might want to be able to view comments on a post in a flat, chronological order. To do this, you can use URL parameters.

In general, URL parameters are constructed by placing a ? at the end of the main URL and adding each name=value pair afterwards, separated by &.

Take the lastest news post, for instance. To view its comments in chronological order, add ?view=flat to the end of the page URL:

http://dw-news.dreamwidth.org/4351.html?view=flat

Or, let's say you were viewing the post in style=mine and so you already had one url parameter:

http://dw-news.dreamwidth.org/4351.html?style=mine

To add the view=flat parameter to this URL, you want to add &view=flat at the end instead:

http://dw-news.dreamwidth.org/4351.html?style=mine&view=flat
