The first version of the comments system is in place. Seems to work OK, even though I did have a moment of confusion when the comment count for one of the tests was five, rather than the zero that I was expecting. Turns out that someone had jumped in whilst I was in the middle of the update, clocked what was happening, posted a few comments, highlighted a bug, then vanished again. I think that I somehow knew that it was happening, as at the moment when they posted the comments, I was thinking "I really should stop testing things on the live site, as one time someone's going to catch me out". Good timing :-)

Two things about the comment system:

1) It's thread based, so you can either click "add a new comment" or "reply to this comment" - replies to comments are indented below the original comment, but at the moment they're just indented using the <blockquote> tag. Lazy I know (and it looks ugly when things are indented more than twice), but I'm going to bed in a minute. I'll sort it out tomorrow / over the weekend :-)

2) I've forgotten what the second thing was. Never mind.

Got any comments on comments (or anything to do with the site)? Why not leave a comment below...
