If you are after a cool looking and user friendly comment Plugin, then Brian’s Threaded Comments Plugin will no doubt do the job for you. This Plugin is not only great to help your visitors navigate your comments easier, but it also helps to attract more comments because of this functionality.
What this Plugin does is giving you or your visitors the opportunity to reply to each comment on your blog in a threaded fashion. So instead of having to look for every persons comment and then address them individual at the end, you can now address each person directly below their comment. You can see how the structure works from the above screen shot.
Brian’s Threaded Comments Plugin will slightly alter your database by adding an additional column. This won’t affect your WordPress performance except in a few minor cases. You are best off to read the information regarding bugs and capabilities on Brian’s Plugin page.
Since installing this Plugin myself about 1 week ago I find it so much easier to reply to my readers comments. The Plugin allows for easier navigation on return visits and helps both the blog owner and the reader.

I found this post and it got my interest. But after I installed the Brian’s Threaded Comment plugin, my Avatar in comment is not showing anymore.
What should I do to fix this? I’ve tried to leave comment in Brian’s page, but the comment is closed already.
@ Dunn: I’m not sure to be honest as I’m having the same problem in my own blog too. I figure it must be interfering with another Plugin, because it works here on Gobala’s blog.
Maybe one of our more technically savvy readers would know this.
I haven’t tried it yet, but the following site appear addresses Brian’s Threaded Comments and states that it allows for the avatars…

Good Luck!
You could have just clicked on reply to this comment instead of adding @dunn at the first word of your comment. That’s what this plugin is for.
@ Dino: thanks for the heads up. I actually know this and do this on purpose. It is for the benefit of all the readers to find out easily whom I’m talking to.
Yes, with the threaded comments we can see this but since most of us are scanner when we read, it makes for faster reading and comprehension.
Hope that is alright with you.

Yes it seems that they have. Thats always the problem with free wp plugins, eventually they are abandoned by the person who created them.
Honestly, this comment box and the image of the comment box above showing the nested comments do not look at all alike. I installed Brian’s on my blog and it came out looking like this one I’m typing into, with all the hints of html code, not like the boxes above. I find all this code (below) distracting and visually unappealing. So I uninstalled the plugin.
