Has Potential
by Emory Rowland·2 years ago

But support is unresponsive.

Good, but needs some enhancements
by itsryu·4 years ago

It breaks the Moderation notice. The user just gets sent back to the main page and they don’t know if their comment submitted or not. In my analytics, it states that there is a javascript error, so that needs to be fixed.

It also breaks the built in discussion settings of breaking the comments into groups, and the feature of clicking “next” to get the next batch

Other than that it works. Simple plugin without options.
