before we start let me point you out the following
This forum splits long lines into 2 lines. So
//##############
becomes

####It must be 1 line when you paste it so check this.
1. open shows.inc.php
find

if( (string)$_POST['replyID'] == "false" )
{
$post_id = (int) $_POST['id']; // Yes it's stupid how I didn't thought about this :/
}
else

//Nested Comments
find

That's it for shows.inc.php
2. open functions.inc.php
find the countComments function, and replace that function with this code.

3. edit the templates do that the comment sub template contains a button.
use
[replyButton]text of the button[/replyButton]
Next there's also the {margin} tag. With this tag you can make comments on a comment jump in. example
style="margin-left:{margin}";or use padding if you like that better.
4. now add this javascript to every page that has a CN Include.
<script type="text/javascript">
function setReplyID(id, obj, subid)
{
var subidinput = document.getElementById('subID');
var replyidinput = document.getElementById('replyID');
if( replyidinput.value != 'false' )
{
var unsetter = document.getElementById('CommentReply_' + replyidinput.value);
unsetter.value = unsetter.value.replace(/\*/gi, "");
}
if( replyidinput.value == id )
{
replyidinput.value = 'false';
subidinput.value = 'false';
}
else
{
replyidinput.value = id;
subidinput.value = subid;
document.getElementById(obj).value = '*' + document.getElementById(obj).value + '*';
}
}
</script>
