Extraordinary Comments
Updating and extending « Featured Comments » by Pippin Williamson and Utkarsh Kukreti, Extraordinary Comments enables a site operator to highlight particular comments where they appear in threads, and also display them together in a widget and dedicated archive. Comments can be set « featured » either where they appear in comment threads – via a menu visible only to users at Editor level and above – or from « Comments » in WordPress Admin via the « on-hover »/Quick Edit menu. An option to « bury » comments in the same way is also available on the same menus.
Comments featured or buried in Featured Comments will still be featured or buried in Extraordinary Comments, and prior « in-thread » styles should still apply. Extraordinary Comments also corrects a defect in Featured Comments that prevented its front end option from working as intended.
As ever, facility with CSS and PHP will help you get the most out of a plug-in like this one, though Extraordinary Comments has been designed with the idea of working with standard themes « out of the box. »
EXTRAORDINARY COMMENTS IS INTENDED FOR STANDARD WORDPRESS COMMENT THREADS
This plug-in will not work with 3rd Party commenting systems like Disqus or Facebook Comments, and either may not function or may require specialized adjustments to work with custom commenting set-ups or plug-ins.

Thanks!
All gratitude to Pippin Williamson and Utkarsh Kukreti for the original Featured Comments. Thanks also to all of the developers and everyday code-hackers, far too numerous to name, upon whose work I have depended.
