  1. Would it be possible to have the "Recent comments" device back, please? For a few weeks it's been empty, and now it seems to have disappeared completely. Without it, it's almost impossible to spot whether there are any new comments on all but the most recent articles. Thanks!

  2. Thanks anonymous, the code broke and we're in the process of fixing it - hopefully it will be up again soon.

  3. The code broke?

    How can an abstract thing break?

    Just go to the local coffee shop, pluck down a pizza from the sky and offer it to have some college student just "apply it."

    This taking more than a weekend is just not reasonable.

    (am I holding up the sarcasm sign high enough?)

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
