hmmmmmmm

well

I'd like:

a Bayesian plugin to do comment moderation

and a visual CAPTCHA — it doesn't bother me that blind people won't be able to read my site.

I dont know if this has been covered or no, but i couldnt find a plugin/hack for this.

I'm looking for automatic comment highlighting by the Author. So far i've come across manual comment highlighting, but i need to highlight all the comments made by the author on the site.

Is it possible jen?

Jason – I'm going to start work on a CAPTCHA for WordPress on Monday, June 21st. I haven't yet decided if I am going to implement it on my site… but I am definitely leaning that way. And to address the issues Jennifer brought up:

- 6 characters might be a bit long… 4 characters is certainly less of a hassle.

- An alternate way of posting comments should be provided for those who are unable to view the image… the most foolproof way being a "plain text" e-mail address. For example: manual_comments AT this domain.

CAPTCHAs are very effective (not THAT many spammers are willing to manually enter in the CAPTCHA string), and in combination with WP's link-limiting feature and built-in blacklist, it should keep your site comment-free. But you MUST make sure that there is a way for disabled viewers to comment.

Note to Sara – I worked up a quick version of the Netflix queue plugin for Expression Engine that is just an easy php call to a Perl script. You should be able to use it for WordPress easily as well. Netflix Queue

re comment #13: Jennifer – i just got read your reply (i did not subscribe to comments)… that could be it!!! if you know to make it NOT strip the img stuff, you will always be the scripty goddess to me. yay! but now that i think about it, no code gets pasted in the comment form. it's been so long… i can't remember the symptoms anymore… i guess i can test it out once more and let you know.

Heh. I'm reading this and wondering if that hack I wrote might be of any use.

It was just something I crunched out to meet my personal need. I'd really like to see someone make it better, myself. If anyone wanted to turn it into a plugin, go right ahead.

Back to the original question, the only thing I was missing when I moved from MT to WP was the javascript thing to expand expanded entries. Looks like that's already available, though.

I just came across this hack that will allow you to use WP's upload feature to upload and image and create a thumbnail, then using the quicktags in the post window, add that image to your post as thumbnail linked to a popup of the full sized image. Jen could you possibly look at this and turn it into a plugin or will it have to stay as a hack? Maybe you could talk to the author and wp developers about including it or something similar in the next release.

Sorry, Jennifer. BookQueue is a MT plugin: official page.
