How do I move the new comment box to the top of the Commenst section?

[Chris Selvig]

I'm setting up a comments-intensive page that will have a few thousand comments on it each month, and so it will rapidly become unwieldy for new commenters to have to scroll to the bottom. David Simpson posted somethign abou tthis on his blog, as an addition to a tip about how to sort comments by descendign age, but I had trouble getting the comments-at-the-top part to work.

In keeping with David Simpson's solution, you could do something like dropping this into Admin>Custom HTML> At the End of the Head:

<script>
  AJS.toInit(function(){
    $comments = AJS.$('#page-comments'); 
    $comments.children().each(function(i,li){$comments.prepend(li)})
    $commentbox = AJS.$('.quick-comment-container')
	AJS.$('#page-comments').before($commentbox)
  });
</script>

That did it - thank you.

Is this solution possible with Confluence Cloud?

We have the same problems with our Jira 9.1.1.

Tried the above snippet, but didn't work, I assume, the IDs have changed :-/.

Do you have a solution for 9.1.1?

I have Jira verion 7.4.3 and 7.7.1. There is no Admin>Custom HTML> option

to move button "comment" to top.

Where i can find it? Who knows?

I believe this is now found in the "System -> USER INTERFACE -> Announcement Banner" area.
