Comments
I’ve been wasting time working hard this morning trying to make this blog more functional to my readers who leave comments. Namely, I was looking for a text-rich editor plugin so you all can use bold, italics, and underline in your comments, and I was looking a means for you to subscribe to a comment thread, if you wanted.
Alas, I couldn’t find a text-rich plugin. [Update] I found a rich-text editor for the comments . . . but it comes with a whole lot of extra features. I don’t know if that’s going to be a problem. If you experience anything strange on your end, please let me know.
But I did find a plugin that would allow you to subscribe to comments. After you write your reply, there’s a nifty little box you can check if you want email notifications when a comment is made. For most, this feature is irrelevant. However, I get a lot of questions in the comment boxes, so I wanted to make it easy for those asking questions to know when their question has been addressed.
Of course, there’s no way to differientate between my answers from other comments. But at least you’ll know when a new comment has been posted.
Hi.
I’m afraid I’m not able to comment. Or else, the comments are somehow not showing up. Once I type in the comment and click “Submit Comment,” the page reloads again, but it’s the same as before, without the comment just submitted.
Innocent
I think there’s a word limit. I tried breaking up the comment into smaller pieces to get over it, but even then it does not allow me to post beyond the third piece. I suppose that means it has some kind of flood control too.
No, there isn’t a word limit. Other have written rather long comments on here just fine.
It might have been a glitch caused by the rich-text editor. I removed it. Let’s see what happens.
Also, all of your comments were in my SPAM folder. I don’t know why this is. At the most, your comment should have been put into my MODERATION folder since you put two links into it.
I wonder, however, if it has something to do with the email address you gave me. It’s a strange looking email — using two periods — and I wonder if my spam catcher put your comments into my SPAM folder because of that.
At any rate, I’m looking into it.
Thanks for letting me know.
