   Hi,

   Can somebody help with advice regarding the display of comments relating to my posts?
   I simply can not understand, on some of the posts only the comments I received are displayed for other posts only my comments answering to a specific comment are displayed, and finally on one of the last posts both comments (received and my comments) are displayed but it seems not in a chronological order.

   I would appreciate if you ca advice how do a establish the settings for comments' display. I would like to display all comments in a chronological and logical order.

   Thanks in advance
   Alina

   The blog I need help with is alinademeter.ro.

   The main place to set your comments up is here > Settings > Discussions
   On that page you will find "Other comment settings" and below it you will find options for having either the most recent "newer" comments or the "older" comments appear first as you choose. You can also choose to "nest" or "thread" comments under those options as well. Look for these >

   ___Enable threaded (nested) comments___ levels deep
   ___Comments should be displayed with the ___ older or newer choose drop down down___comments at the top of each page

   Don't forget to scroll down and click "Save Changes" after you make your selections.

   I have selected:
   Enable threaded (nested) comments___ levels (level 6)
   and
   comments should be displayed with the ___ older ___comments at the top of each page
   and save changes
   But it seems there is no difference in display for the existed comments, comments from 20 july at the top and below this comment from 15 july.
   (still not correct order), on some posts only my comments.
   Maybe it will apply for the future posts, even if for me it makes sense if you set a specific setting to apply to all existed comments isn't it like this?

   @alinademeter, log out of wordpress, clear your browser cache and cookies, restart your browser and then try again. Since wordpress content is served from a database, it should sort them correctly. I expect it is a cache or cookie issue that is causing the problem.
