More commenting updates!

1. It seems that the weird error some people see when they try to login via LJ at the archive has to do with the size of your Friends list. It's workaround-able, if you really want to login via LJ: you need to go here and create a new custom friends group called "FOAF-knows" (without the quotes), adding only your own LJ to it. Once you've saved that change, you should be able to login via LJ at the archive (and at other sites where cross-service logins are allowed).

I also installed a plugin that lets you login to the archive with your AIM ID and have enabled anonymous commenting, so there are some other options, if you prefer.

2. Replying to comments is now possible again. I'm not sure how that got disabled, but if you want to respond to something another commenter has said, you can just click "Reply" at the bottom of the comment. The comment form still appears at the bottom of the page, but there'll be a new checkbox indicating that you are replying to a comment.

Please don't reply to comments on stuff you made just yet! That would give the game away. :)

3. Pinch hitters: I apologise, but I forgot to update your email addresses in the database, so your comments ended up being mailed to the wrong places. I just corrected this, so you should get any comments that are added from now on. I will work on getting those original comments sent to you, too.

And by the way, there are almost 300 comments at the archive already, which seems unbelievable. You guys are amazing. <3<3<3
