Simply Threaded 1.0
Movable Type's flat comment listings often make it hard to track multiple conversations (or threads) and even harder to specifically reply to a comment. Simply Threaded is a quick plugin, inspired by Vox's smart comments, I threw together that attempts to tackle this problem.
As the screenshot demonstrates, Simply Threaded adds a Reply link to each comment which can be used to directly reply to a comment. You can then use a simple container template tag to show this relationship in your comment listing.
Simply Threaded has been installed on Movalog so feel free to give it a try in the comments on this entry!
Simply Threaded is a free plugin but you are encouraged to support it by making a donation of at least $5.00.

Ironically, it doesn't look like anyone tried responding using the reply function...
I'll have to look at the results and see if I want to give this plugin a spin.

OK, I'll be that guy - the one who replies to someone's comment to see how the threading looks. :-)

Oh, OK. I guess I was expecting something more visual. I didn't notice the "replied to" part.
