   I was thinking that it would be handy to have a reply option for comments... I'm getting some comments on my blog, but I would love to direcly reply on them, and make sure the author of the comment would know it too, so i'd suggest a comment system like on Deviantart, where a reply is added directly below the comment where you reply on (with a bit of indent, to show that it's a reply) and that at the same time, an email is sent to the email adress of the original author, smth along the lines of "a reply has been made on your comment on <blog title>" with a link to the comments...

   Oh, and could you change the font-family of textarea's in the forums? Courier looks so awefull next to the stylish design...

   If folks are interested in following their comments, they use services like http://cocomment.com When I reply to a comment on my blogs, I always email a copy of it to them original poster. The subject has been discussed before in the forums and rejected since it leads very quickly to abuse by spammers.

   Anything else, King Bramm?

   Oh well, I just joined the wordpress community, didn't see that topic immediatly. That cocomment thing seems handy, I'll be sure to check it out!

   You don't have to call me King... It sounds denegrating and even a bit offensive. This is, after all, the "ideas" section of the forums, and I tried sharing an idea...
   Unless I offcourse you didn't mean that like I took it... The internet can be cruel sometimes

   edit: okay, installed that cocomment thing... okay, it looks handy and stuff, but I was hoping it would enable me to reply on comments given by a little email form or so...

   That would lead to spamming very easily.
