Releases page: Summaries vs. Comments

When surfing to a release, the first visible thing are User Comments. Why?

Prince of Persia 1.1 [EasyFlash, pal/ntsc] is a good example for this:
It makes perfect sense to first list the Summary with the changes rather than the User Comments with "Thanks!" and "Great".
Or, if there's no Summary but a production note, detect that and list it.

Would save quite some clicks over time, and help people who are not that familiar with CSDb (yet).

it was already suggested to simply list summaries, prod notes, comments ALL on the same page. why should we click around at the first place ?

I dont think so. It's a very bad design having to click around to get all info. Also csdb is very slow, so you're forced to wait, it can take > 1-2 minute to get all that stuff.

As an option on the profile would be handy. So the discussionists/commentists have their thread and normal/unregistered users get plain info :)

Agree with Oswald. It would only be a problem if there were tons of comments/summaries/etc., but in those cases it would usually be concentrated in the comments anyway. Generally I think it's a problem that there's too much clicking around on CSDb, which is annoying since it's slow. Especially for adding/updating stuff.
