  Sometimes people enter a new Comment when a similar Comment already exists. They should have done a Reply to the original comment instead. Is there a way to change the 2nd Comment so that it appears as a Reply to the original one?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You would have to copy all the info from the original comment including email and URL if any, delete that comment, sign out, and put it in yourself as a Reply To Comment while you’re signed out, putting in the username, email and URL if any of the original commenter. It’s a lot of work and people will continue to put their comments out of order anyway, so you will have to continue doing this all the time.

  I was afraid that there was no simple way to do this. It would seem that creating a module for the admin dashboard to allow facilitate this shouldn’t be too hard. Where should I submit this idea.

  Thanks

  But honestly, policing your commenters to be more organized is thankless, endless task. As soon as you do find a fix for this, they’ll go off in some other direction.
