So, in yesterday’s poll I asked you what action you intended to take with regard to changing your theme for threaded comments in 2.7. The result has actually quite surprised me so I will jump right to it.
The largest section by far is from people that don’t actually like threaded comments. Of course there could be any number of reasons for this and I will certainly agree with some, but I wonder how this represents WordPress users as a whole. It is one of the drawbacks of listening to the community when you make updates that the most vocal people get results and that isn’t necessarily the majority.
I also assumed the IntenseDebate option would score higher; although, that may well be because readers of this blog tend to be more technically aware than the majority. It is a fairly technical blog after all.
As always thank you to everyone who took part in the poll. It helps me write better content and hopefully also helps to pull together opinions other than mine here. As my first two Monday polls have been a success, I plan on running one every Monday. If you have any ideas or even just questions you would like to ask other readers then feel free to put forward a suggestion.

This result is no surprise for me.
I know many WP blogger and most of them do not like threaded comments for their own blog.
Most of them told me: oh a good idea – but I wouldn't like to implement them, because they are unfitting to my own project.

I like the idea of threaded comments, but when I tried to implement them in my theme it did not appear to be immediately obvious. I'll eventually get around to adding support for them, but I'm going to wait until I find a decent tutorial on the best way to go about doing it that way I won't have to figure it out myself.
