nested or threaded comments

Hi,

Just a quick q to see what is everyones go to choice for nested comments? Surely they make more sense of discussions and I am surprised they haven’t been built into the core.

Whilst on the subject of commenting, do people still use gravatar? What are the cool kids using for avatar images these days?

Thanks,
Mike

I have a plugin in development for that. If you have a project in mind it might kick me into overdrive to fix it up for beta release. Failing that, the peg_nested_comments plugin still works I think. Or integrate the site with Disqus like we have in txpmag.

No idea on gravatar stuff these days. They’re still around but whether they’re cool any more I’m not sure.

Many popular (business) services from big to small including GitHub, Beanstalk and others use Gravatar. So yes, it’s still used and works just fine. Don’t know about kids, tho.

This is how I do Gravatar images:

<img src=“http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/<txp:php>echo md5( strtolower( trim( comment_email( ) ) ) );</txp:php>?d=monsterid” width=“80” height=“80” />

The ?d=monsterid part is optional, of course…
