Don't Back Down

Recently I have received a number of requests about where to place the checkbox to allow people to subscribe to comments. The use of this checkbox is fairly straightforward if you are using an upgraded blog, which has a detailed form for comments.

With the introduction of MovableType version 3, however, these fields are included only in the MTCommentFields tag, and produced dynamically. While they can be edited, it's not a simple task. Also, more than a few people have asked about maintaining the state of the comment checkbox when previewing the comment.

I tried to like GAIM. I really did. As good as it is, I just couldn't quite get it. So I'm back to Trillian. I finally heard back from Cerulean Studios (makers of Trillian) on my payment. According to the email, they are having problems with PayPal payments. Doesn't explain why it took them nearly a week to get back to me after I asked for help, but that's okay. My account is working now.

So I have Trillian Pro. It's much like Trillian, but it has enhanced preferences (I can turn off those pesky mail announcements) and it also supports meta-contacts, so if I chat with you on more than one service, I can file those services all under a single contact for you, rather than having multiple ones. That's cool. I like it so far. I'll update you if that changes.

Update: I did have one problem. I downloaded what I suspected was the most recent version (it said so on their site), I even accepted the download when I started the program and it said I still didn't have the most recent version. But apparently neither took. I had to manually download the 2.01-to-2.013 updater to get me to the most recent version (and fix my Yahoo! sign-on problems).
