Could you please add an option to change the scrolling speed please? Great plugin : )
Nice plugin!
I have tweaked it a bit:
– Added multibyte string support (substr()->mb_substr() if available)
– using … instead of …

Hey, this is an awesome plugin.. thanks for creating and sharing it.
is there a way to slow down the scroll speed?
Thanks

Good work so far with your plugin. My needs are:
1) would love to deploy the scrolling comments in more than one location with different content in each
2) would love to limit comments in any one location to comments in just one single post
I’m sure that with enough study, I can figure out how to do the aforementioned enhancements. I am hoping that you or someone else has already done this and can share the code tweaks.
Thanks!

How can we ELIMINATE our reply (the blogs reply) in the comment sections? I try to reply to every comment left and these don’t need to show up on the comment scroll.
I would rather scroll the people that visit my blog and not myself.
Thanks,

Hi at present we dont have this option, but i will do this in the next version.. nice idea.
I would love to know how to tweak the speed of the scroll and the font size and color.
Hi if you want to change the speed open “vertical-scroll-recent-comments.js” this JS file and find the setTimeout function and update number.
Also at the end of the comments that I have scrolling there are three periods, “…” What are they and how do I get rid of them?
Open “vertical-scroll-recent-comments.php” this php file, line number 78(or search 3 dots) and remove it…
1) Three periods issue fixed. THANKS!
2) Found two instances of setTimeout in the JS File. Do you know what the number settings should be to make it slower or faster? I tested them both at various numbers and it made no change.
3) And any chance for a solution regarding changing font style and size?
You can find css in main plugin page “vertical-scroll-recent-comments.php” update the css to correct css,
create new CSS class for link and update that into line number 82.
Please share your link.
Id like to insert this into the page above posts.
Whats going to be the easiest way to do that?
You can add this plugin in sidebar or desired location in php file, we cant include this into post or page.
Hi,
Thanks for sharing this plugin, one question how to add name of post above each comment ?
At present we don’t have this feature, i will check and implement it in the next version.
Hi, lovely plugin! Thanks for this. I wonder if it would be possible in the next version to have an option to display the post title for each comment, and the date & time each comment was left?
I love this plugin! try to enhanced like sodaHead.com and I will pay!
oh… this is my comment… wow!
Just wondering if you figured out a way to:
1) Slow down the scroll speed
2) Increase the font size
setTimeout(“vsrc_scroll();”, 10);
setTimeout(“vsrc_scroll();”, 2000);
1. Find the above two line in the plugin javascript file and update the value “10″ & “2000″ in that line.
2. font size is depends on your widget css.

Top class plugin!
Cheers!
is there a way to have the comments ordered by oldest to newest vertically. it makes more sense if I reply to comments that the response is after the comment and not before.
comment 1
comment 1 response
instead of:
comment 1 response
comment 1
Great plug-in! The only problem I have is the comments are all underlined. When I mouse-over, the underlining goes away. Any ideas?
Thanks
Like piti4ek posted below I Have a problem with encoding – showing of russian word incorrect too. Please help.
Great Plugin, Would be useful if the widget could be used multiple times in the backend. Such as use on multiple widget areas.
Hi
ThanQ 4 this great and useful plugin ! but there’s a bug ! when I wanna insert it in my theme (any themes) it doesn’t scroll !!!!!
Can u plz do me a favor and let me know what the problem is ?
Thanx in advance
cool post. Filled me with a far better idea of often the financial climate. Appreciation friend
Dear Admin,
Nice plugin……………
How can we show the Title of the commented article on the scroll up comments?
Hi,
First of all: great plugin! Secondly I think with just a few more configuration options this could be the BEST free recent comments plugin outthere.
1) Right now you can choose to show avatar OR name, why not an option for both?
2) It starts scrolling down in the first second? I can barely read the first comment before it starts scrolling down. An option to make it scroll after an X amount of seconds would be a great addition. I did this manually for my own site but to have this in the config panel would be way more user friendly.
3) The option to add the post name.
4) Set the avatar size
Tnx for this great plugin, looking forward to the next version!
Hi. I installed this nice plug in but have a problem. When I try to obtain the options to setup the widget choosing Avatar, etc. I obtain this messagge:
Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, string given in /home2/podiospe/public_html/wp-admin/includes/widgets.php on line 192
Widget appears in my web but I can’t change the options. Can you help me please???
You can see the widget in:

Thanks a lot…
Nice plugin.
Can we change the display?
I mean, instead of the comments, can it be the TITLE of the news items/articles along with the count?
Just wondering!
I created a shortcode and added this to my page, but the scrolling comments don’t stay inline on the page, they push to the top of the page. How do I get them to stay in with the text of the page?
Hi,
Hi find you have created so many useful plugins. I would like to whether there is any way to show the all the comments of the blog in a separate page. This will be very useful.
Can this vertical scroll recent comments be made to display in a page.

Thank you for this plugin. It’s outstanding.
I seem to only be able to use it in one location (widget area) however, unless of course I enter it into the php, which I’d rather not do because I’d like my end user to be able to control where it goes without getting my attention to change the php. Any suggestions?
Hey,
For some reason the app quit scrolling. I’ve tried reinstalling, but it is still frozen. It was working fine, then, no more scrolling. Any ideas how I can fix it or about what went wrong??
Thanks!
Great plugin..
I have used your plugin since the very first version. But this now I want to ask you : How to customize the code since I want the comments show only from specific post.
Thanks a lot…
have installed the vertical scroller. However when i click on any link it opens the most recent posts only and does not open the required post. What may be the reason and how can that be tackled
nice plugin! if you could add avartar it would be the greatest! thanks
opps! actually you could. sorry bout that. nice plugin. thanks
where can i put code if i use option 2…
i want to stop scrolling on mouse over. can u suggest me a java script for that?
nice simple plugin.
just need two little things:
1) scrolling duration setting
2) pause on mouse_hover
Great plugin. I love the simplicity. However, I was wondering if there is an easy way to have the scrolled comment link back to the article not the comment.
great plugin gopi…
in this plugin you can add this… the “both” option within the other options

can i change the size of the window showing the scrolling comments???????
anyway its really nice pluggin
it is equal to ur widget width
I don’t know if anyone has already requested this so I apologize if I’m beating a dead horse by asking again.
I would really like for this plugin to have the option of having “check boxes” rather than “radio buttons”; for the purpose of selecting multiple things to display at the same time.
For example: Having the option select “Display Name” and “Display Avatar” at the same time instead of only being able to chose one or the other.
Awesome plugin!!
Hello,
First of all, great widget! The only feature it lacks is the inability to use it in more than one sidebars. Is there a way I can turn this into a multi-widget?
Thanks!
esto es una prueba
nice plugin, but it fails markup validation with 43 errors on line 129. all error in the same line: $vsrp_x = $vsrp_x . “vsrp_array[$vsrp_count] = ‘$vsrp_post_title‘; “;
are you planning to fix this?
