Has anyone tried this in WP 2.9.1 yet?

I really like how this works, however I would like it to ONLY check the email. I don’t care if someone uses the same name, but if they use the same email it will use their gravatar. I get way too many comments and have already seen many users with the same names.

Could you post a version that only checks email?

Thank you, I appreciate it and this works great even on 2.9.1

WOW!!!
This is absolutely amazing (and if left open, dangerous!)

I can’t believe the boffins who wrote WP didn’t think about something like this and implement a fix!

I have started to update all my (38) blogs… muchos grassears dude!

I love this – thanks so much for it. Is there a way to edit the output so that if someone wrote a long comment, that their text won’t be lost?

For example, someone could have no intentions of impersonating anyone, write a very good and long comment using the name “Mike”, and understandably not know that it was already registered. How can they be notified that their comment won’t be submitted until they change their name, but not lose what they wrote?

I imagine it would involve notifying them without leaving the page they’re on.

There are certainly a number of biological differences between men and women. ,

Fantastic, thank you for sharing this. It works like a champ. Now websites cannot be stolen from people who post a lot.

I have written a small plugin, so one doesn’t have to change any core files.

This has been tested, and works, in the latest release of WordPress – 2.8

(The code you look for has changed a bit, but should be easy to find near the top of the file)

nice hack/code.

how would i add a back button to the error message to help commenters try to comment again. as is, just brings up an error page with the message.

also, is it possible to show the message without revealing the location of the wp_comments_post file?

thanks

Fantastic. Thanks. Was having trouble with some funny guys at my site using admin (that’s me) to reply to other people visiting the site. Best part is it doesn’t allow variants of the name say admin such as Admin or AdMin etc.
Super stuff. Thanks. Works for 2.7 Wordpress by the way.
