   Hello guys,

   I've been trying to find some snippet to add to my loop, next to comment_popup, so a returning commenter finds a little message saying that the post got new comments since his last reply...

   I found this plugin : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/new-posts-popup/

   , but it works overall with posts ("There Are New Posts!"), and is too much for what I need, and trying to read its code is excessive to my knowdledge.

   I found later this nice code :

   <?php if(isset($_COOKIE['comment_author_'.COOKIEHASH])) {
   $lastCommenter = $_COOKIE['comment_author_'.COOKIEHASH];
   
   echo "Hello again ". $lastCommenter ."!";
   
   } else {
   
   echo "Welcome to our site!";
   } ?>

   , which checks for the cookie stored by the user when that one lets a comment, then prints one thing or the other if the user is identified.

   So I would go rather to something similar, but adding some Boolean Operator like :

   if this user is cookied, AND there's a new comment since his last visit, print a message

   Thanks for any input here guys.
