 * Hello! In the blog that i am making, there is an issue with the comment approval.
   When you comment on a post, it posts the comment and then beside it it says: “
   This will not be published before its approved” (but in Swedish). Also that text
   is put beside EVERY each comment. But i dont want it to post the comment at all,
   id like the page to display all the other comments and on the bottom say: “Your
   post will be displayed when its approved”.
 * In short, i dont want unapproved comments to be shown. Here is a part of the 
   code from the comments.php page (since i dont have the page uploaded to the net
   yet):
 * <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
 * </b>
    <?php if ($comment->comment_approved >= ‘0’) : ?> _ **YOUR COMMENT WILL
   NOT BE DISPLAYED UNTIL ITS APPROVED!**_ <?php endif; ?>
 *  <div class=”commentext”>
    <font color=”#333333″ face=”arial” size=”2″><?php 
   comment_text() ?></font> <small class=”commentmetadata”>” title=””><?php comment_date(‘
   Y-m-d’) ?>   <?php comment_time(‘H:i:s’) ?> <?php edit_comment_link(‘edit’,’ ‘,”);?
   ></small>
 * </font>
 *  </div>
 *  <?php
    /* Changes every other comment to a different class */ $oddcomment = (
   empty( $oddcomment ) ) ? ‘class=”alt” ‘ : ”; ?>
 *  <?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>
 *  <?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>
 *  <?php if (‘open’ == $post->comment_status) : ?>
    <!– If comments are open, but
   there are no comments. –>
 *  <?php else : // comments are closed ?>
    <!– If comments are closed. –> <p class
   =”nocomments”>Comments are closed.</p>
 *  <?php endif; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
 * THANKS FOR ALL HELP!

 * If I understand this correctly, the unapproved comment **isn’t** published – 
   i.e. only you can see it because you’re logged in.

 * yes exactly! but its the person who comments it that sees it (they dont have 
   to be a user to be able to comment).
 * but i dont want them to see it either, because then they MIGHT think that it 
   IS published! so i just want a text where it says that the comment WILL be published
   after approval! and that ONLY!
