 * Hi, I’ve just installed your very interesting plugin for a website I’m setting
   up. The problem: if I use the cool javascript interface, the progress bar hangs
   and the windows never disappears. If I manually close the window, and reload 
   the page, the comment IS actually modified, so the plugin works, but it’s quite
   impossible to explain to normal user 😛
 * Instead, if I use the not-javascript interface, it works normally except for 
   the “cancel” button which is not working.
 * Can you please help me? I’d really need a plugin like yours for my site 🙂
 * Thanks,
 * Daniele

 * Yeah, I’m having similar problems: the JavaScript works okay for me, except that
   it doesn’t update the comment after I close it! So I’m using the non-JavaScript
   window (which doesn’t have this problem), but the cancel button doesn’t work 
   for me either!
 * I would also like the ability to exclude admins, as we already have all the back
   end editing stuff anyway, and it’s more secure (my admin area is password protected).
 * Overall though, I much prefer this plug-in to the Ajax Edit Comments bloatware
   we had to use in the past, especially now that it’s gone commercial.

 * I had the same problems 🙂 But you can quickly fix it by going at the plugin 
   folder, open editable-form.php and change the line
    `<form action="<?php echo
   get_permalink().'#comment-'.$editable_comment->comment_ID; ?>" method="post" 
   id="dialog_commentform" onsubmit="return dialog_validate()">`
 * to
 * `<form action="<?php echo get_permalink().'#comment-'.$editable_comment->comment_ID;?
   >" method="post" id="dialog_commentform" onsubmit="dialog_validate()">`
 * That is simply remove the “return” in from of dialog_validate() on the onsubmit
   🙂
