I would like to test this scrit, i need something new for my 9 year old html/perl site - will i go with php or keep html/php?

Anti-Spam and security are my main goals, but also comment moderation (to be approved ny admin before made public).

Feedback:

I almost left this page after seeing my comment posted on top... but at page end, the was a notice (this is a previw, etc press here to post your comment).

Preview and "POST"-button should be right next to each other (and maybe even preview-commet could have a different background color (like pink)?

Also: there is almost no difference/seperator between comments...

All the best :hehe:

Thanks for your comment, sorry for the delayed response, we have had quite a bit of illness in the family for the last three weeks..:-(

I have changed the comment order, as you suggest, I know, I need to fix the templates so that comments look nicer, just not enough time to do so at the moment.

If you would like to use GM, i would, its a good script, long history, and also being worked on a lot at the moment, in the areas of security, new features, RSS / Atom being added native, pingbacks, draft posts, tags, comment moderation and anti-spam features.

cheers
