The following changes have been prepared and implemented:



1. New tree-like comments system is added for news. This comments system allows visitors to respond to specific individual comments, and display comments in the tree-like form. This comment system can be enabled in Administration Panel settings. You can also specify the maximum level of nested comments. We recommend you to pay attention to such setting as the number of comments per page when you enable the system on website. In the case of tree-like comments, it will be exactly the number of parent comments on the page. The real number of comments with the embedded answers can be even more.

2. New [reply] text [/reply] tag is added forcomments template (comments.tpl).Enclosed text is displayed as a link to a pop-up window for replying to a comment if tree-like comments are enabled. If they are disabled it inserts the given commentator's username to the new comment form.

5. Now you can disable editor for comments and personal messages in script settings.If the editor is disabled, users will not be able to use any formatting when they add comments, but can only write text. It also turns off all processing of BB tags and hand-writing will not have any effect, except for "quote" tag, which is necessary for the functioning of the citation and the responses to comments and personal messages. This feature will be useful to webmasters that want to limit the possibilities of comments and personal messages formatting.


6. Now you can enable fast reply mode for comments in script settings. With this mode, the response to the comment is not entered in a separate pop-up window. A simplified form for reply is displayed just below the comment. Also, a minimum set of required data is requested, and the editor for a comment reply is being disabled. In other words, the main comment may be published using a full formatting, but replies can be edited in the simplified form.
