The new editcomment.php script[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

The editcomment.php script in /index/ now provides the same functionality to editors as the editcomment.php script in /indexmaint/ did. So, I have removed the [*] link and have replaced it with the [Edit] link when the editor is not the comment's author. When the editor is the author, it would be redundant to have two links, and only the regular Edit link is provided.

Instead of having a checkbox for Reviewed, it now has buttons called Approve and Disapprove. The former will update the Reviewed column with a true value, and the latter will update it with a false value.

Instead of having all the buttons show up all the time, only relevant buttons will show up, and only editors will get to see the extra buttons. The Approve and Disapprove buttons show up only if the person who posted a comment is not a registered user, and only the one that will change the value of Reviewed will show up. Likewise, Block will show up only for unblocked comments, and Unblock will show up only for blocked comments.

One change that affects authors too is that authors now have access to the Delete button to delete their own comments.
