Comments Form Updated
I made a few updates to the comments form today. Hopefully I haven’t broken anything! 
- Some of you will be happy to see that I’ve embedded support for emoticons (smilies) directly in the comments form. I’m not sure why I did this other than I thought Abby might like it! When you click on the smiley to insert it, you will see the text name for the smiley in the editor. This will be converted to the actual smiley face when you submit your comment.
- I’ve also added an option to subscribe to the comments for a post. directly beneath the comments form, you’ll see a box the check if you want to receive an email notifying you when new comments appear for that post. But to enable that, you have to submit a comment!
- If you want to receive an email whenever there is a new post or comment (for any post), you can register to manrymission.com using the register option in the Meta portion of the sidebar on the right.
- Finally, I’ve completely blocked a specific IP address range. We’ve had two instances of a well known spammer sending spam comments to the blog. I’ve caught both instances and deleted them. If for some reason you receive a blocked URL message when you try to post a comment, just send me an email message using the link in the sidebar.
Mate you have missed your calling. I didn’t think soldiers (let alone Yank soldiers :smile:) are supposed to be that clever. I can’t wait to see what you come with next.
By the way, “Manry Family” is number four, page one now. You guys sure are popular!
As I mentioned in a new post, coding is my stress-relief!
