I'm, like, really anxious for people to post more comments so I can see more of the new "x comments by name1, name2 and name3" commentlink-syntax in action... That "and" makes the link look so much more interesting, as if name1 and name2 are really having a discussion with name3 and each other.

What's really great that your system can tell the difference between 2 posts by Nate, and 2 posts by different people.

Swanky.

I think it should also do stuff like "Initially, Nate was just talking to himself. Then, nowak joined in. And then, Arnout couldn't resist..." :-)

Let's try.


Nate wrote on 2003/08/27:
I like Arnout's idea.

I'm not sure I get the gist of this quite. Does it show x # of comments by an individual or x # of comments by a group of people?


Fidel wrote on 2003/08/28:
Nevermind.. I see. Just now I was turned into the "and". That is cool.

what about (1) ?

You mean in the Latest comments listing? It's implied.

Thanks Arnout, that was to be expected :)

No, no, it must have been one of my cow-orkers. We all show up as the same IP in your logs. Honest :-)

In fact the comas & and can be added in CSS. If you follows the idea described in ALA - taming lists ( http://www.alistapart.com/articles/taminglists/ )

It should give something like:

.commentatorList ul
{
display:inline;
}
.commentatorList li
{
list-style:none;
float:left;
}
.commentatorList li:before
{
content: ", ";
}
.commentatorList li:first-child:before
{
content: "";
}
.commentatorList li:last-child:before
{
content: "\00a0 and ";
}


<div class="commentatorList">
<ul>
<li>donald</li>
<li>riri</li>
<li>fifi</li>
<li>loulou</li>
</ul>
</div>

Ok, it's useless but I had some time to waste :p

Very cool, P01!
I'd use it in an instant if it wasn't for all those Internet Explorer users whom I'd like to show a neat commentatorlist too.
