Claim 8:
9. A computer-implemented method for storing comments received at a collaboration page of a content collaboration system in a hierarchical relationship that corresponds to positions of the comments in a comment field, the computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving a comment at a user interface displaying the collaboration page comprising a plurality of comments, the collaboration page including the comment field having a predefined number of simultaneously viewable content lines;
creating a thread identification string for the comment, the thread identification string having a set of string portions, each string portion of the set of string portions denotes a hierarchical position of the comment with respect to other comments of the plurality of comments, wherein a first string portion designates a root-level hierarchy with respect to a first comment of the other comments and a second string portion designates a second-level hierarchy with respect to a second comment of the other comments;
obtaining a comment index file comprising an ordered list of previously-entered comments associated with the collaboration page, the ordered list of previously-entered comments having respective thread identification strings;
adding the comment and the thread identification string to the ordered list of previously-entered comments at a respective hierarchical location indicated by the thread identification string;
in response to a request, from an electronic device, to view a subset of comments in the user interface, determining a number of content lines displayable in the comment field;
creating a pagination of the ordered list of previously-entered comments in the comment index file in accordance with the number of content lines in the comment field;
retrieving a subset of the ordered list of previously-entered comments in accordance with the pagination; and
causing display of the subset of the ordered list of previously-entered comments in the comment field, wherein the subset of the ordered list of previously-entered comments changes in accordance with a change to the ordered list of previously-entered comments.
