Same here. The widgets build/update process is definitely broken. I've tried it on several browsers on different PC's. Impossibly slow to the point where it's completely unusable.

I have more than 250 comments in the blogs but it retrieves only latest 100 comments where as I update the lastn attribute value to 250 and added the sort_order="descend"

<MTComments lastn="250" sort_order="descend" >

Can you guys help me to retrieve all the comments grouped based on post and then sorted in descended commented date order?

It would be even helpful if you can provide the code snippet which can return the count of comments in the entire blog.

This slowness is when I am logged into paypal with access to paypallabs site.

Like you I do not have a TypePad Pro account; alas only Plus account and thus unable to implement this hack.

However, here is a workaround along the lines of your request:

1. For your blog, go to Design tab>Content
2. Insert Module=Monthly Archives (under Modules list)
3. Save Changes (button at bottom of page)
4. View Weblog (link upper right corner)
5. Find Monthly Archives module, and copy URL for "More..." link (right-click>copy)
6. Still logged into TypePad, go to TypeLists tab>Create a new TypeList
7. Link Type=Notes; name as desired (e.g. Archive List)
8. For Label, leave blank; for Note, enter "(a href="[paste URL you copied step 5 above, should end /archives.html]" target="_blank")Archives(/a) [replacing parentheses with carrots as appropriate]
9. Save, Configure, Publish
10. View Weblog (I'd refresh the cache to force new page version)

Delete original Monthly Archives Module as desired.

Not as clever as drop menus, but good enough for this non-Pro TypePad user: Mr Ulster
