 * Hello, I would like to have a number for each comment, where also replies are
   numbered as if they were stand-alone comments and not replies.
 * Eg:
 * 1) comment 1
    2) comment 2 3) comment 3 4) reply to comment 3 5) reply to comment
   3 6) reply to reply to comment 3 7) comment 4 8) comment 5
 * I saw there is a plugin that instead helps making the following numeration:
 * 1) comment 1
    2) comment 2 3) comment 3 3.1) reply to comment 3 3.2) reply to
   comment 3 3.3) reply to reply to comment 3 4) comment 4 5) comment 5
 * I am interested in the first kind of comments numbering… is it possible to do
   that? How?
 * Thank you

 * It looks like **Greg’s Threaded Comment Numbering** can make what I need, but
   I have tried… too much php… can’t make it :/

 * This is a premium theme and I don’t know how they show the comments. Have you
   tried their [forums](http://gorillathemes.com/support/viewforum.php?f=113&sid=69d849fd1ed5bf73d68c1ff3c49e57f3)?

 * Yes, I asked and I am waiting for a reply, but it may take some time. I would
   like to have the numbers by the end of today, because of some contests and a 
   post with more than 800 comments… people need to check what was their comments
   number and very few people want to count hundreds of comments 🙂
 * I hope this excerpt helps…
 *     ```
       <div class="navigation">
       		<div class="alignleft"><?php previous_comments_link() ?></div>
       		<div class="alignright"><?php next_comments_link() ?></div>
       	</div>
   
         <div class="commWrap png">
           <ol class="commentlist">
             <?php wp_list_comments('type=comment&avatar_size=64'); ?>
           </ol>
         </div>
         <div class="commFoot png"></div>
       ```

 * Try it with [this](http://pastebin.com/RX3K6QJx) in your theme’s functions.php:
 * and change `<?php wp_list_comments('type=comment&avatar_size=64'); ?>` to `<?
   php wp_list_comments('type=comment&callback=mytheme_comment'); ?>`

 * should I add that code that you gave me in the bottom of the functions.php?
 * And if I replace that code in the comments.php will it remove the gravatar? I
   would like to have the gravatar as well.

 * Oh, I did it!! I didn’t replace the gravatars, but the images changed 🙁
    I don’t
   have the monsterids anymore, I have the white/blue gravatar image 🙁

 * And another thing….
    intestead of this numbering:
 * 1) comment 1
    2) comment 2 3) comment 3 4) reply to comment 3 5) reply to comment
   3 6) reply to reply to comment 3 7) comment 4 8) comment 5
 * it is using this numbering:
 * 1) comment 1
    2) comment 2 3) comment 3 3) reply to comment 3 3) reply to comment
   3 3) reply to reply to comment 3 4) comment 4 5) comment 5
 * How can I change it so that I have back the **type=comment&avatar_size=64** and
   having the numbering so that every comment, also replies to comments will count
   as a new comment and get a new number?

 * Change this in the functions.php code `echo get_avatar($comment,$size='64',$default
   ='<path_to_url>' );` to `echo get_avatar($comment,$size='64');`
