You wanted to see it [3]
You wanted to see it [3]: At long last, the Holy Grail of Optimates! Gaze to your left, citizens, and behold "Recent Comments!" The comments are arranged in chronological order, with the freshest at the top. Name of poster and the post commented on are listed, and a click of the mouse will take you right to the conversation in question.
The great thing about this - and I admit freely it was not my idea - is that we can continue conversations after the post has left the main page. Onward to victory!
Update: As revealed in the comments (thanks, Gaufridus!), the minor 'bug' of the title not appearing in "recent comments" only happens in cases when there is no "official" title to the post. I am the chief offender, of course, because I have stubbornly resisted putting titles on my posts. No more!

There seem to be some minor bugs... we're working on it.
It seems to use the title from the "title" field of the post. So, if we don't use the "title" field, and just have the title in the first few words of the post (which we all do from time-to-time), it shows up as a funny little blank space that links to the comment.
So, either a bug fix needs to be implemented, or we just need to use the "title" field from now on.
Yes! Fantastic point. I didn't even realize it, but that's exactly what's happening. Thanks!
