Many of you have already noticed, but we figured it's probably protocol to announce that we have a new comment system. Those of you that hang out on Joystiq should already have a pretty good idea of how it works, but here's a quick rundown.
- Your comments will now feature your avatar image. If you haven't already set up an avatar, you can do so by clicking your user name in any of your comments. This will take you to a profile page where you can log in with your password (which can be found in comment confirmation emails if you don't already have one). Here you can edit some personal info and upload an avatar.
- Comments can now be voted up or down. Positively rated comments will become more visible, while negatively rated comments will become less visible. See a thoughtful, well-written comment? Vote it up! Do you see a hateful, irrelevant piece of garbage that should be expunged from all the internets? Vote that sucker down! You can also report comments that may be inappropriate.
- Finally, you can now reply directly to individual comments, which will make conversations (and flame wars) flow much more naturally.

nuts, can't reply to replies. But hopefully this will fix the problems I had with the old comment system. (A lot of lost posts and not knowing if the post was lost for good or just not shown yet, it caused some double posts)

I agree with Morgon. Instead of stars, 360 icons?

Green rings for Highly Rated comments, grey rings for neutral comments, and Red rings for Negatively Rated comments would be pretty sweet.

i've noticed a lot of easily answered ?'s down this list of comments, so i thought i might try to help.
all you need to do is click on your name and it will take you to the blogsmith account page. there you can change your avatar, password, and make it so that you don't have to confirm through email.

Still think the red-grey-green ring idea would've been cool, but you can't exactly halve the rings, like you can the 360 icon.
But cool, nonetheless.
