 * Does anyone know of a comments plugin that works with 1.5 that says:
 * <EntryName> by <Poster Name> or vice versa
    <PosterName> by <EntryName>
 * Thanks

 * Assuming you are looking to do a listing of recent comments, you could use the
   Customizable Comment Listings plugin, as mentioned here: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=29195](http://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=29195)
 * With it you can choose what to show and how to show it.

 * Is the PostName and PostAuthor above to be used when listing recent comments?
   Or were you interested in post listings all along and not anything related to
   comments? Your description so far is too vague to know how you want PostName 
   and PostAuthor used.

 * Did you want it by recently commented posts or by recent comments? (The former
   means that each post will only be listed once with the most recent commenter 
   next to it.) The two versions would look like this:
 * Recently Commented
    Sample Post Title by: Commenter4 Another Post by: Commenter2
   Yet Another by: Commenter1
 * Recent Comments
    Sample Post Title by: Commenter4 Sample Post Title by: Commenter3
   Another Post by: Commenter2
 * (In both examples, Commenter4 made the most recent comment and Commenter3 the
   next most recent comment. Notice how recently commented doesn’t list Sample Post
   Title twice.)

 * Ohh I gotcha … I want it like movable type. where if there is several new posts
   for one entry, for example, if John, Joe, and Jim (being the most recent) commented
   on the entry “How to make a Blog”. It will only say
 * How to make a blog by Jim
