I'm still on the fence with this new comment system :) Sometimes the e-mail alerts won't turn off, which I understand how some people might want to do. It took two days for them to finally turn off on one of the test accounts I was running! I do agree that overall it's pretty neat though. I absolutely love the ability to respond directly to comments now, a feature I've been wanting for over a year.

Yeah, I haven't clicked the box below, and it sent me them anyway. But I get hundreds of e-mails a day that are just deleted or marked as spam, so it's not a big deal for me. Pretty cool, though. It'd be cooler if they'd just send me a dang validation e-mail, though!

Yeah, that is odd. I tried putting a few spaces there, but it wouldn't go through. I ended up putting a random "z" and hoping that it works.
