Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Subscribe to Comments

Log out of WordPress Leave a comment on an entry and check the comment subscription box, using an e-mail that is NOT the WP admin e-mail address or the e-mail address of the author of the post. Leave a second comment using a different e-mail address than the one you used in step 2 (it can be a bogus address). This should trigger a notification to the first address you used.

Not anymore. But the checkbox status will be remembered on a per-user basis.

Try unchecking the CSS "clear" option. Beyond that, you're on your own with CSS positioning.
