Switching to Flash-based MT comments

The kind folks at gotoandplay.ca have a Flash-based replacement to the MT blog comments form called MTgotoAndComment.

I posted the files to my MT box, and with a little tweaking of the MT templates through the web interface, got everything up and running.

There may still be some glitches with the way I set it up, especially since I disabled the cookies code, because it was throwing JS errors looking for the old form.

Anyway, I hope this will ward off the blogspammers for a while...we'll see.

fyi,
the next release of MTgotoAndComment has enhancements to fight blog spam.. (version 0.5)
Stef (gotoandplay.ca) is working now on it and it's possible that an english translation could be available soon.
If we are lucky, we'll have 0.5 the next week.
cheers

Hey, thanks for trying! Write me if you see some problems or have some features requests!

And yes, 0.5 is coming this week!

Since MT-Blacklist does not work with my Movable Type installation and the MT admin interface for comments is slow as fuck I created my own interface for removing comments.
