For breaking the 100 comment barrier in less than a month, this trophy has been hard-earned despite stiff competition from Erika and Claire. What will be the record by the end of January? Remember, the counter should reset to zero on the 1st February, so the trophy will be up for grabs again.

(Any resemblance of the trophy to Rose is purely coincidental – it was the first free clipart I found….)

You can reset the counter? That’s something my homemade widget doesn’t do!
According to the plugin author it should reset by itself. You change the frequency to weekly, monthly, annual…
Thank you, Thank you. Wait!!!!!
I’m sooo hurt and here I was going to give you the thumbs up at stumbleupon. 
Takes her trophy and her comments and goes home. 
You think this trophy looks like me.
Wait! I said coincidental…

Congratulations Rose!! comment ho master!!!!!
Congrats Rose!!!
Thank you Erika and Claire. I like it to Chris, but it no look like me.
I experimented with a top commentators plugin on my blog. My name was on the list though and when I tried filtering my URL and name it wouldn’t work.
Apparently you need to chmod the .php file to a 777 permission. My host admin doesn’t have that permission code
It has 755 and a bunch of others in the 600 range, but not 777.
It was the ‘Show Top Commentators’ plugin. Version 1.02 by Nate Sandon. Any tips mate?
That’s the plugin I’m using.
To chmod my file I use my FTP client, Filezilla, which allows you to tick checkboxes on the various write permission options, and a little dialogue underneath gives you the number code. Don’t think you really want 777 though, as that’s writable by everyone.
All I had to do was open the PHP file in Wordpad, add my name to the relevant string, then upload & activate. If you want more detail let me know.
HTH
Chaps – I use the FireFTP plugin for Firefox. It’s a built in FTP client, so you don’t need another program – very handy. You can right-click on a file and go to Properties to change the permissions using tickboxes like Filezilla, or chmod numbers if you really want to.
In terms of the problems with the WordPress plugin, I’ll hurry up and post my code. To make sure I (‘Pinksy’) am filtered out of the list, I just added it to the condition of the SQL (“where comment author is not ‘Pinksy’” sort of thing). The only thing it doesn’t do is have a fancy control panel like Chris’s does, but it works…
Pinksy, you’re not the first to mention that, I must have a look. I guess it’s much the same as Filezilla, but just built in.
BTW, there’s no fancy control panel (cheeky) you just have to edit the PHP file (which always makes feel like a super-cool hacker
)
Thanks for those replies guys. I’ll see what I can come up with.
