I'd like to change a number of stylistic features for the comment module, mainly:

1. Add some help text
2. Change/remove the "Post new comment", "Your name:" text
3. Most importantly change the way the nested comments are outputted to make them truly "nested" like this wordpress plugin.

I've worked out how to do some of this with phptemplate_comment_wrapper and phptemplate_comment_form but it seems that I can't get around hacking the comment module for the rest.

Is there a way of creating a new mycommentmodule.module that would operate on top of the standard comment.module and would change the appropriate functions (comment_render I think)?

Any help much appreciated!

Thx

I'm wondering the same thing. For anonymous posts, it asks for the users email and a homepage URL.

The homepage URL lets the spammers be a lot more sneaky, since they can insert their URL without just throwing links around in the comment. So it'd be nice to remove it (or at least play with this possiblity).
