Numbered comments in Blogger with pagination

(I'm putting this here just so I can link others to it easily.)

If you google "blogger numbering comments" you soon end up on this page, or one linking to it (or one ripping it off).

It's simple and it works -- mostly. For threads of greater than 200 comments Blogger paginates, at which point the comment numbers start over from 1. But this is easily fixed.

Just replace:
<script type='text/javascript'>var CommentsCounter=0;</script>

with: 
<script type='text/javascript'>
<!--
  var regexS = '[\\?&]commentPage=([^&#]*)';
  var regex = new RegExp( regexS );
  var results = regex.exec( window.location.href );
  if( results == null )
    var CommentsCounter = 0;
  else
    var CommentsCounter = (results[1] - 1) * 200;
//-->
</script>

Example of it in action.

UPDATE: If you're going to leave a comment complaining that this doesn't work for you, you might at least give the URL of your blog so that I can drop by and help you to fix it. Without proof to the contrary, I'm just going to assume that all of you anonymous commenters are incapable of simple cutting-n-pasting.

Unfortunately this doesn't work for me, nor for a lot of my friends. All it does is take away the numbers completely.

Looking at your blog, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work for you. I'm sorry that it hasn't. If you put the code block in again and comment it out, I could take another look to see if you had everything set up correctly.

display more than 200 comments

I am going to try this code soon, but first, I have a different problem. I can't see any of the comments beyond #200 - do you have any idea how to fix this? It's quite annoying when the winner of a contest is #359! :)

Thanks, Julie

Re: display more than 200 comments

You would have to provide your blog URL for me to be able to diagnose anything.

Did you read the linked page above? It explains how to edit your blog template to add numbered comments.

This didn't work for me either. I had fixed my blog so that the comments were numbered but it did reset at 201..tried to do the cut and replace the line above but it removed the numbers completely.

It's not working for me, either

Unfortunately, it's just removing numbers altogether on mine as well. Witness here:

Re: It's not working for me, either

Hi! Nice site.

It appears that the block of code that I gave above is not present in your code, so CommentsCounter is never initialized. You have removed the proper line, but not replaced it with the given code as directed. Once you do that, numbers should appear on all entries with proper pagination.

My #'s disappear

When I replace the coding the numbers disappear completely for me as well. Right now I have the #s on there using this tut: http://1stfloorflatcomputery.blogspot.com/2009/11/how-to-number-your-comments.html

I am going to assume the numbers are only going to go to 200 since I couldn't get your coding to work for me. Anyway you can help me? Thanks so much!
