i noticed that you are directly hacking the core. If people want to be able to update the core to the next version without trouble, they can use plugins to achieve some of the same. for example, put this in the plugins directory and enable it.

@gulflee: If you know CSS, you can change the Write Post panel. It's not hard, just time consuming, but since it is already a form (turn off the Rich Text Editor) why make it more "formy"?

Would be interested in any solutions you have to managing comments in 2.1

Ideally all the comments should be instantly visible at once (the FULL comments) and it should be possible to go down the page and edit them all, approve them etc. before finally pressing ‘submit’ and having the whole lot processed at once
