  Hi guys,

  I have a post that have a lot of comments, and this seriously slows down the time taken to load the entire page.

  how do i go about reducing the amount of comments on a single post?

  Rgds,
  Alex

  You just delete them one by one and then untick “allow comments” under “Discussion” beside the Edit Post box. Given that comments on WordPress.com-hosted blogs are text-only, rather than rich media, I’m not sure how much comments can be slowing it down.

  thanks a lot for your time in replying this thread.

  the single post with 2000 over comments are here
  http://www.alexlab.com/2006/01/03/the-smith-sisters/

  so besides deleting them or stop comments, is there anyway i can limit the amount of comments shown, example only 20, and the remaining comments on another page?

  Is it a WordPress.com site? It does not appear to be. I think you need to be asking at WordPress.org, as our software is different here. I also answered you in the thread in Off Topic.
