Can something like commentUsername be added to the comment API? Some folks have requested a little more anonymity when posting on the blog. I thought it was available but I just checked and only saw that the commenter’s name will be displayed but not the user name.

Hey Ben, I have noted the feature request. It isn’t possible currently (though I notice that the discussions actually do the opposite).

Hey Ben, because you are so beautiful, I added the tag commentusername. It will be available next release, whenever that might be.

We starting to talk about some other improvement to the comment module, so if you have other brilliant ideas, feel free to chime in.

Your flattery works like a charm. I haven’t tried, but is it possible to link up the commenter’s name to their website if they’ve entered one in their profile. Just trying to think of all the common blog commenting functionality available on most blogging platforms.

And speaking of usernames and real names, who is the mysterious lefthand.

Hey Ben, this is Justin aka Jbo.

We had a request to do that same thing a couple days ago and I think it’s a good one. We’ll keep that in mind.

Hey Ben, we recently implemented this. The tag is __commentusername__. Give it a try!
