@robwent there is a similar plugin that does it, but it uses jQuery and using it increases my page loading time by nearly 2 seconds coz I don't use jQuery. I have tried to find a solution using vanilla JS to no avail. I (and many others) would really appreciate if you could kindly get something working for the default commenting system.
