Comments changes

The skin on my right thumb is worryingly solid after five and a half hours of exams today, so I’ll keep this brief. I’ve changed the plugins around a bit which will affect the comments system in the following ways:

  • Nofollow is now completely gone. I never liked it in the first place (I have better things to do with my bandwidth than fix Google’s broken algorithm for them), and now that I have a significant number of anti-spam plugins I don’t even need the temporary (7 day) nofollow that I had set via the Dofollow plugin
  • EDIT: Commenters will now get access to the same ‘quicktags’ bar that I get when writing posts. You could always use these by typing them in manually, but you had to know what they were, whereas you can now (for example) highlight the text you want to make bold, and click the STR buttonEND EDIT

Happy commenting (or not, as the case may be)
