Ooh, good question. I don’t have the answer (yet), but will look into it. If it’s not too difficult, I’ll fix it myself.

Can somebody tell how to show the text that your comment is in moderation with brian’s threaded comments? Seems developer missed this thing too in 1.5.12 version.

One step at a time, my little chickadees…one step at a time! I should have the recent comments up later today. And an edit comments function is on my list as well.

[Edit: OK, recent comments are back on the main page]

[Edit 2: Looking into Edit comments XT. Looks good, but

"I don’t have the time to support you on the implementation and usage of this plugin. Also the comments at this page have been turned off for this reason. However a donation may help to change my mind and support you anyway :)"

Meh x 10^100 (that's a googol of mehs, haha)

Users can help each other in one's comments section without taking up one's own precious time.]

I’m a big fan of the Recent Comments plugin and run this as well. I think its a great feature for readers and I find it a useful quick reference to activity as well.

Lori - I’m curious to hear why it didn’t make the cut - all the while understanding that you can’t have everything.

BTW - Another cool comments related plugin I’m looking at is Edit Comments XT which let’s a reader edit his or her own comments. Although there isn’t a tremendous amount of this, I enjoy the opportunity to enhance the reader’s experience and provide them with a degree of autonomy over their own statements. However, unlike a forum where you can go back and re-invent history by changing your statements at any time, the plugin has a default timer of 30 minutes within which you can make a change.

Very cool, hack for Brian’s Threaded Comments! I’ll have to try it out over at my own guitar blog!

Kristof: I only had to point it out because it was too late for me to craft an unambiguous sentence!

BTW, if you’re curious, the comments plugins I use here are Brian’s Threaded Comments and WP-grins.

Hmmm, interesting. I might actually do this. I was already baffled by your PLAG comments with the PLAG icon on it but this is sweet!

And it’s a good thing you pointed out that your brother and your b/f are different people. We might have people from Texas checking this blog!

I think I’ll have to run now …
