WP Ajax Edit Comments (for WP 2.5+) allows users and admins to edit comments on a post. Users can edit their own comments for a limited time, while admins can edit all comments.

Recent Update 2.3.2:

• Implemented code posted by several users to reduce the number of database queries.

Recent Update 2.3:

• Moderated users can edit comments. Security issues have hopefully been resolved.
• Approved comments by anonymous users are checked again after editing, and will be moderated again if violating any of the blogger's discussion settings.
• Changed jQuery vars to hopefully resolve Lightbox issues.
• Fixed a bug where if an admin edits an unapproved comment, the comment is automatically approved.

Any issues with the update? Please use the forums and leave a detailed entry.
