We've introduced a couple of new features to Gawker comments. (1.) If you're checking for the latest discussions to be started on any post, just click the Newest first link. You'll see the discussion threads in reverse chronological order. Like this. Just refresh the page to see new discussions as they pop up rather than having to page through to the end of a chronological list. (2.) If you're coming to a post for the first time, try viewing by Most active first. That way you'll see just those comments that have elicited the most replies. Like this. We're going to make use of the two new features during this evening's first presidential debate which will be liveblogged here from 8.30 ET.
