If you create an Article node with open comments in the Garland theme on D7-dev (checkout of May 27, 2010), then you see the "add new comment" link directly above the "Add new comment" form. This, I believe, is superfluous, if not to say confusing.
At yoroy's request, I have filed this against 8.x, since it is an improvement, not a usability bug per se. But if it's an easy fix, it would be cool to get it in 7.x.
Screenshot attached.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
When you create an Article node with open comments in the Garland theme on Drupal 7-dev (May 27, 2010), the "add new comment" link appears right above the "Add new comment" form, which can be confusing. To fix this, you invisalign treatment can hide the link using CSS, modify the theme's template files, or create a custom module to adjust the display logic. It's great that you're helping improve the user experience!
