 * I have tried installing the threaded comments about 5 times already. Its installed
   but everytime I try to reply, it makes a comment instead of replying to above
   comment.

 * Chrissy,
    Sorry it took me this long to get to your problem, I was out of town.
   It looks like (unless you took it down) you do not have the complete hack in 
   place and are missing the stuff that goes into your index.php file. Look for 
   something like “Reply to this comment…” The way this hack works is to reply to
   a particular comment you have to click on the “reply to comment” link and the
   javascript creates the correct code. HTH, Peace

 * Ok, reinstalled it but now I’m getting a bunch of errors.

   to undefined function: dodos_thread() in /home/babychic/public_html/wp/wp-comments.
   php on line 41 Parse error: parse error in /home/babychic/public_html/wp/my-hacks.

 * Chrissy: You have missed something again. I would say you missed the main function.
   Make sure dodos_thread() goes before anything else in my-hacks.php

    Make sure dodos_thread() goes before anything else in my-hacks.php In my-
   hacks????I downloaded the threaded comments zip file. There was nothing about
   my-hacks in there. Is there a newer version of the threaded comments?

 * When I tried to run “add_comment_reply_ID.php”, I always get this message:
    Can’t
   connect to the database Duplicate column name ‘comment_reply_ID’ Can someone 
   please help me with this? What does the message mean? Thanks!

 * Sorry. This thread gets lost all the time.
    [@rose](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rose/):
   That means that the column you are trying to add already exists in your database
   and does not need to be added anymore. [@anon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anon/)’
   s: The instructions do not mention that you need to put the functions in my-hacks.
   php. I was wrong there. [@everyone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/everyone/):
   There is an update to this hack which will soon be released. Stay tuned. I promise
   that there will be almost nothing to install! 😉 Peace

 * LaughingLizard, any news as to when the update will be available, at all? 🙂 
   I have been toying with the idea of having a go at modifying the hack myself 
   in order to rectify the problems I’ve been having with it, but since I noticed
   your post a few weeks ago, I decided to wait for your update instead, although
   I may just continue with my own modifications if it does not seem that the update
   will be available soon. 🙂
    I would appreciate if you could please let us know!
   🙂 Thanks!

 * [@mitu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mitu/): Feel free to go ahead and
   modify the hack. That will benefit everyone. I dont know when I will be able 
   to provide the new distribution in tutorial form, so there is not ETA at this
   time.
    Peace
