Title:
Collapse comments

Area:
comments

Summary:
A button to collapse comment threads that have been expanded

Description:
Entries with lots of comments can have very long nested threads, and it's easy to lose track of how far you've gone once the parent comment has scrolled off the page. Expanding threads in place instead of opening a new tab for each thread is great; it'd be even more awesome if you could collapse the subthread you'd finished reading and get back to where you can see the structure of the conversation.
I'm not sure where would be the best place to put a Collapse Thread button: where the Expand button was, which disappears when the thread's opened, or at the end of each thread?
