Hey Commentards! This pre-populated 'reply to' is for you

Deniggling

We took our time to remove this niggle, but you should like this little update:

If you click the "reply" button on a comment containing a headline your "Title field" is now pre-populated with "Re: (same headline)"

You can if you like change this to insert your own headline or - if you are perverse, depopulate the field entirely .

Of course, If you reply to a post without a title, you still get an empty/optional title. But enough of this madness...

You may be interested in the user forums we are trialling: currently it lives at http://forums.theregister.co.uk/section/user.

'CAN' - that should be 'can fix typos'.

Very good, now do it properly

If ($replyTitle != "") {

If (trim($title) != "") {

$replyTitle = "Re: " . $title;

} else {

$replyTitle = "Re: " . $commentard . " @ " . $commentTimeStamp;

}

}

Also, while you're at it, fix the comment count so it doesn't say "1 comments"

Re: Re: This title not left blank.

Nice - how about comment edits so we fix typos?
