Threaded Comment WordPress Plugins

I have just added the brians’ threaded comment plugins (formerly nested comment plugins) here in this blog. I’ve planned to upload this nice plugins long ago but still couldn’t find the right time to do so or just forgot once I connect to the internet. This plugins is nice in the sense it’ll make disscussion more lively: the third commentator, for example, who wants to comment on the first comment can just easily click the “reply this comment” in the comment #1 precisely like the way mailing list works.

Unfortunately, just like any other wordpress plugins, it can only be done in a self-hosted blog. WordPress.com, the free blog services owned by Automattic–the wordpress blogging platform  company–has yet to include it into its by-default  wordpress.com build up.

If you’re interested to install this plugins, you can download it here.  And from the installation manual you’d find how to easily install it. Here’s the excerpt:

1) Before beginning, make backup copies of [top]/wp-content/themes/[yourtheme]/comments.php
2) Copy briansthreadedcomments.php to [top]/wp-content/plugins/
3) Copy comments.php to [top]/wp-content/theme/[yourtheme]/
4) Activate brians threaded comments from the plugin page.

That should be it.

Update: Howtspoter fixed some bugs based on various bug-fixed sources and integrated them into one file with pretty video tutorial as well. Also, if you use wordpress 2.5 or above you can put gravatars in Brian threaded comment box by adding these codes.
