[wp-hackers] Move Comment JavaScript and Comment Metadata Display

[Chris Poteet]

Is there a way to use the functionality of threaded comments without
having to actually move the comment form when clicking on the "Reply"
link below a comment? I find the movement jarring, and in my layout it
crumbles. I'd rather just have the anchor register which comment is
being replied to and allow the ability to cancel the reply without
physically moving the form.

I was also hoping that I could format the display of the comment
metadata specifically the date posted.  However, on line 1285 of
comment-template.php the word "at" is hard coded in echoing of the
date/time. Can that be removed?

Thanks,
Chris
