It looks good. The spacing is a little tight for my taste, but that's me. :-)

With experimentation, this is the end result, a lot less white space, but this is to allow for a considerable number of entries on the one page. Many many thanks Mr Path.

.comment,.pingback {
margin-top:0;
}

.comment-content p {
margin-top:1px;
margin-bottom:0;
}

.comment-meta {
margin-top:1px;
}

h3#reply-title {
margin-top:4px!important;
}

.comment-date {
margin-bottom:4px;
}

Take that out as that is probably what was making things disappear.

.comment-meta {
margin-top: 12px;
}

What you will find is that you need to work all three of them together to keep thing aligned if you tighten things up past a certain point (the username will not align horizontally with the top line of text in the comment sort of thing). It will just depend on how much you tighten things up.

.comment,.pingback {
margin-top:0;
}

.comment-content p {
margin-top:12px;
margin-bottom:4px;
}

It also seems that the block with the name and date is the component that determines the row height, rather than the text itself.

If you take away too much, things will visually run together and be more difficult to read. But add the following to your CSS and adjust the values.

.comment-meta { {
margin-top: 12px;
}

.comment-content p {
margin-top: 12px;
margin-bottom: 12px;
}

With the following you can adjust the space below the bottom content.

h3#reply-title }
margin-top: 20px !important;
}

Add this to your CSS and then adjust the 35px top margin value as desired.

.comment, .pingback {
margin-top: 35px;
}

Before each comment is a few lines of white space - can someone show me the CSS to reduce that? I've looked at the CSS for Suburbia and tried a few edits to try out changes to the Comment CSS but no luck yet.

Add it at the bottom of your CSS and see what you think.

h3#comments {
padding-bottom: 1.2em;
}

#comment-wrapper {
padding-left: 0;
}

ol.commentlist li {
padding-left: 5em;
}

Let me play with it a little and I'll post some CSS here for you to try.

The same thing happened on my blog, and I had to take it off. Do that under Settings->Discussion

One of the last issues I have is that I noticed each comment/reply gets more & more narrow - they keep getting pushed to the right. Is there any way to keep every comment and reply uniform?
