Those of you who use the excellent Subscribe To comments plugin may have noticed a slight problem with it, although it appears to be theme related and may not affect everyone. If you are affected, the ‘Subscribe to comments’ checkbox will appear with a big gap between it and the comments box, instead of directly underneath. There is an option in the plugins configuration page to do a ‘CSS clear’ which should fix the problem, but doesn’t.
The solution is very simple, and was pointed out to me by Matt @ eJabs who directed me to the answer at O’Flaherty blog.
Simply find the following code, which appears 3 times in the plugin PHP file:
‹p <?php if ($sg_subscribe->clear_both) echo ’style=”clear: both;” ‘; ?>class=”subscribe-to-comments”›
and replace it with:
‹p›
Simple as that. The 3 incidences are immediately below the text:
- This is the text that is displayed for users who are NOT subscribed
- This is the text that is displayed for the author of the post
- This is the text that is displayed for users who ARE subscribed
Worked straight away for me, but obviously take a copy of the plugin file before editing.

Speaking of cool comments, How do you get my Country, operating system, and explorer to appear by my name in the comments. I don’t know if I would use that or not, but it is cool.
P.S. Digging and stumbling this post
I second Scott’s question!
Any chance you have a link for that? I’d like to see if I can do it myself…. have to leave the nest sometime
(I Dugg ya too.)
Thanks both
The plugin required is the Firestats one, and it fives you a lot more than the flags (They are cool though).
You can use the plugin without displaying the flags, or only some of them, it’s very configurable.
