Disable the preview button in the comments form

Hi, I would like to disable the preview button in the comments form. So that people can post without having to go through two steps.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Re: Disable the preview button in the comments form

with a plugin but to prevent spam it requires commenters to be registered which requires a few other plugins as noted in the documentation.

Hmm is there a way for people to not have to be registered to leave comments and not have to use the preview button? Maybe another kind of plugin? That seems like replacing one step, with more steps for users.

I know why its important as a spam method. I’m not doubting that. But sometimes I run into a situation where someone doesn’t desire it. So I would like to know if I can get rid of it without going through the user registration option.

Bummer. I don’t doubt its usefulness, but it would be nice to get rid of it in some scenarios without having to go through a whole whack of hacks or steps. Such as having it as an option in the admin panel.

Edit: found it in the php code.
