Changes to comments & reply to comment

  • I have a 3-column layout for my single posts and would also like to have nested comments.

    Because my column is narrow, I’ve done away with the indenting of nested comments and I’ve implemented different colored speech bubbles to differentiate between levels of conversations (ie. who’s commenting on the post vs. who’s responding to a conversation).

    I’m a long ways to being finished with styling the speech bubbles, but I thought of an idea that would help users navigate the comments easily:

    Putting in the comment-head, “Name said…” or “Name replied to Comment Author” AND

    Instead of the reply link to say the default, “Reply” change it to say, “Reply to “Comment Author””

    I’ve been going at it for hours now, trying to achieve this (mainly because I’m a php newbie and I’m merely googling and guessing on what would work).

    Can you please help me?

    Thanks,
    Roselle

    P.S. Here’s a pic of what I want to achieve, thanks.

    BTW, here’s the code of my comments.php file:

    A pic won’t help. A link to your site may.

    Just did that and emptied all caches.

    Please discover (probably a plugin) what is outputting:

    Hi,

    Yes I did a few days ago…no reply from them yet. I figured I would ask the wordpress community too.

    Thanks,
    Roselle

    It is outputting hidden inline CSS – prob from an external source – I suggest against such
