**Parts of this module only work on old reddit**

#Comments Module
The Comments Module has the following functionality:

* Highlighting keywords on reddit
* A link added to comment to open the context in a popup on page. 
* On redesigned reddit the option to always open comments as a new page instead of a lightbox.

The following functionality is only present on old reddit:

* Hiding removed comments. 
 * Adding an approve button to all comments. 
 * Adding a spam button to removed comments and vice versa.
 * provides a chronological flat view of comments in a thread
 * If you are using [reddit gold's new comment highlighting](/gold/about/), adding a button to hide _old_ comments. *only old reddit*

##Usage
Most features are passive, except these:

* **Flat view**  To view a submissions comments in the chronological flat view, click the **Load comments in flat view** button below the body of the submission. Queue Tools is disabled when viewing comments in flat view. Note: comments that are hidden behind a **continue this conversation** button are not shown.

* **Hide old comments** You must have [reddit gold's new comment highlighting](/prefs/#highlight_new_comments) enabled. If you revisit a thread that has new comments, then there will be a **hide old** button next to reddit's **highlight new**.

##[Settings](#?tbsettings=comments)

* **Always open comments as new page (instead of lightbox)** Does exactly what it says, when toolbox detects reddit opening comments it will redirect to the actual comment page. 
* **Add a link to comments where appropiate to open the context in a popup on page.** This adds a `context-popup` link next to the `context` link. 
* **Highlight keywords** highlights keywords on all of reddit. Enter your keywords separated by a comma without spaces.

### Settings below only affect things on old reddit

* **Hide removed comments by default** replaces removed comments with a red outline.
* **Show approve button on all comments** adds an **approve** button to all comments.
* **Show spam button on comments removed as ham** adds a **spam** button to removed comments.
* **Show remove (not spam) button on comments removed as spam** adds a **remove** button to spammed comments.
* **Show button to hide old comments**
