Holy Sh*t: New Comments System Launches

By popular demand, the comments system at EPL Talk has been completely revised. I’ve been testing it on the sister sites for the past few weeks and I think you guys will enjoy it.

You’ll find the new-and-improved ‘Recent Comments’ section in the right sidebar.

Some of the advantages of the new commenting system are:

  1. View the most popular comments on EPL Talk by selecting the ‘popular’ tab (see screenshot below),
  2. See which readers are posting most often to EPL Talk when you press the ‘people’ tab (see screenshot).
  3. You can also register, if you like, and feature your avatar next to your comments (see screenshot).
