After a successful release candidate, I’ve decided to release version 1.1.1.0 of Ajax Edit Comments. This release should fix a few long-standing bugs. Please download version 1.1.1.0 of Ajax Edit Comments.

A developmental version (v1.1.1.1) is released for anybody having charset issues. Please let me know if this works for UTF-8, and other WordPress charset configs.

The following issues were addressed in this release:

1. Admin were able to edit, but non-admin couldn’t. This was caused by the timer offset in the WordPress admin panel.
2. MySQL errors resulted in the comment unable to save. This was caused by blogs and MySQL database not in UTF-8.
3. Some characters were being screwed up when saving to the WordPress database. This issue was caused by non-UTF-8 back-ends.
4. The blog would be inoperable in Internet Explorer due to multiple session headings being called.
5. Random loading comment failure on WP 2.2.2 installs.

The issues (with the exception of issue number 4) can occur on a case-by-case basis depending on blog configuration and character set.

Several users have had character encoding issues. Ideally all blogs and backends would be in UTF-8. With v1.1.1.0, hopefully all character issues have been resolved, but this may be a little unrealistic. I will try to help people out on a case-by-case basis for non-UTF-8 blogs, but having a character encoding different from UTF-8 seems to cause a lot of issues. If you do install this plugin on a non-UTF-8 blog, make sure to throughly test out the plugin on various characters.
