The section of Javascript that scrolls after the comments is loaded only works when the view is set to 'Oldest Comments First'.
If you're reading a blog with more than one page of comments, it's a pretty nauseating experience. You go to the bottom of the page, read up from order, navigate to a new page (older/newer comments), scroll back all the way to the bottom, and repeat for every page.
It makes absolutely no sense for you to remain at the top of the page when the post are in descending order. You'd be reading the comments on each page in reverse order. You WANT to be at the bottom.
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
#1) Read blog post with more than 1 page of comments (ie: http://www.byond.com/ members/?command=view_comments&post=98204#comments )
#2) Navigate to another page of comments. (Newer Comments or Older Comments)
Expected Results:
After clicking either Newer or Older Comments links to be placed at the bottom of the page to read the comments in order.
Actual Results:
Motion sickness and acute risk of explosive diarrhea.
Fix:
//If the user is viewing newest comments first, this must be changed:
$.scrollTo($(ajax_this).find('.top_comment_nav'));
//to this
$.scrollTo( $(".comment:last") );
