I finally installed it here, also. Let me know if it is not working as expected to allow you to edit your comments for 15 minutes after posting. I may change the time limit to longer after I think about whether there are any reasons not to?

Yep! Clicking on your name lets you edit your name or blog URL. If other people mention confusion I’ll edit the instructions.

I think its so you can fix a typo’d email address or name. It works for me but I’m logged in. I’ll try it after logging out.

Wow, JD! You are right on this. Thank you very much for checking it out.

I just did an edit on one of my comments on your site and it works great. Only thing that is strange is that the instruction says click on you name or the comment to edit. If I click on the comment, I get the edit text box. If I click on my name, I get something else, prompting me to save author information. If that is another plugin that you use, the fix might just be to edit the label text in the edit comment plugin’s file to say “click on the comment” and leave out the or name part.

Will: I just installed it and it worked beautifully with my theme and Wordpress 2.3.

Check it out if you like. You should be able to edit your comment for 10 minutes.

Here is a link to an edit comments plugin that is in use on another site I frequent. It seems to work real well. Thanks to Jonathan Baily of Plagiarism Today. I will try to make time in the schedule to test it out this week.

I don’t know why clearing the cookies fixes it. I don’t really know that much about the hittail service. I tried it along with a plugin that is supposed to insert the hittail code into every post. I don’t remember if it really worked or not as it has been a while since then. I see that I have long since deactivated the plugin, so I guess that was not working. I do still have the code in my footer php file, though, and seem to remember that I manually put that there. I don’t think the plugin did that.

Justin if you could refresh me on how the hittail service is supposed to work, I may remember exactly what I decided on it.

I know I have never seen any reports or search or keyword suggestions, so I don’t think I ever really had it working correctly. I probably should take the code out of my footer.

Regarding the loading issue, I used the plugin tailhitter on a wordpress blog, and it didn’t put the hittail code inside any div tags. Yet yours is!????!???

It’s always recommended to be the absolute last thing before the closing body tag. Even if you have to directly modify your theme’s footer.php.
