This is very frustrating. PLEASE just go back to the old format.  This new format adds nothing but confusion, nobody wants to have you arbitrarily hide previous comments, and sometimes new comments are buried amongst the hidden comments.  We also don't want to have to expand comments every time we go back to an article (btw, "expand all" doesn't work, still have to hit the "load previous comments" tabs below) The format actually doesn't even look good visually.  The green "new" notice can barely be seen. The font style/size is too large/ugly.  Please don't fix what ain't broken

BTW, the "Expand All Comments" option does not work.  Tried it in several comment streams to no avail.  PLEASE fix this!!!

I also greatly dislike the new comment structure.  Prefer the old structure by a wide margin.  Have stated to give up reading long comment sections as it's very unwieldy, which makes me question whether I should stay as premium member.  Please fix this as per the other comments here.
