Why I love your feedback.
Posted by Andy Bailey on June 14th, 2009
I’ve stayed up a little late tonight again because some people were experiencing issues with the style of the links. Turns out it was because they had php4 on their hosting and that didn’t support the commands I was using to find the added link.
Thanks to some good feedback and dedication by CommentLuv users, I was able to track down the problem and learn regular expression along the way! (only to find out I didn’t need it lol)
I’d like to say thanks to http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com for sending me your theme and your entire plugins folder so I could try to replicate the problem. I couldn’t, but I did come up with a regex to fix it.
Also to http://jahangiri.us/news for your regular kicks up the butt to sort out problems that only you seem to find. It was your fault I found out that strrpos doesn’t work on php4 hosting.
And http://speedforce.org/ for being a validation freak and spotting all the invalid xhtml so you could send me line numbers and exact positions of required edits.
There are sure to be more things that require attention and I wont find out about them unless you tell me so feel free to use the support tickets or comment here on a post if you want to suggest something (better to use the support ticket) I do try to respond to every request but, I do get a lot of emails so don’t feel sad if I don’t respond straight away
Thanks for being CommentLuvvers!! Hopefully this version will stay for a while and I can concentrate on building the site and making things a little bit easier for new users to understand.
Version 2.7.5 of Wordpress CommentLuv is here
Woot!
Glad I could help!

Thanks you + the team so much for the effort you spend on this spreading the luv. I think better concentrating on building up the network and I’ve one question:
What about the stats for the users who aren’t on CommentLuv network? On the old portal, we used to have ’site area’ and we used to place a ‘cliclable logo’ over our blogs to confirm the registration with CommentLuv network. I couldn’t find this in the ‘About’ or ‘Help’ pages.

Hi Andy, I’m relatively new here and think this is a great plugin. I’ve tried to work out if there’s something more I should be doing. For instance.. is there a #comluv hashtag or similar that we should tweet when we’re tweeting about posts? If not, we should be, so people know we’re sharing the luv and that would encourage clicking through and comments, in theory.

that’s really nice of you to want to do something to encourage people to use CommentLuv. I think the best thing you can do is carry on writing good content and interacting with your commenters by replying, clicking the link and adding a comment on their blog.
if people keep seeing the quality comments that CommentLuv members make, there’ll be no need to do any promoting because everyone will want you all to come and read their posts and install the plugin.
that was the whole point of the plugin, a hands free community builder focused around your own blog, no need for more social sites just to promote your links.
thanks for being a commentluvver!
