Bob correctly pointed out that it’s a pain in the patootie to catch up on comments because the widget on the right hand side of the screen only holds 15 comments. I have exhausted my meager WordPress skills as it appears that that is an upper limit, based on what I can find out. There could be work-arounds but it would take some time and better skills than I have to suss them out.
Your reward would be deep appreciation from all of us and a six-pack (or equivalent in dollars) from me.
Have you looked at this plugin, or another like it:

I use a custom CMS and don’t know much about WordPress, but maybe something like this would meet your needs?
No, I haven’t, because “plugins” make my neurons melt faster than reviewing the Planning Directives ;). But if you were willing to examine this further, I would give you administrative privileges and (more) brewskis could be in your future!
I may be able to help, drop me a line if you haven’t resolved this yet.
Hey, the Extension website your name links to is very interesting…worth a look to other readers..
And I could find your email there!
Thanks again.
