 * Hi there,
 * since the new Version I’m expecting some trouble with your nice plugin.
 * 1: Top Commentator is now always the last trackback with the number of all Trackbacks
   in this month (I’m resetting every month).
 * 2. Can’t change value “(Hijack-proof?) Group commentors based on”. It always 
   returns to “E-Mail”
 * 3. Same Problem with “Show in home page only?”
 * Best Regards.

 * I second that. Installing this version reverted the options I had previous chosen,
   for example “open in a new window” (which is really really an abomination from
   the past).
 * The plugin also automatically defaults to show “awards” for all commentators 
   with 0 or more posts, but the supplied award icon is not registered until you
   actually go into the widget and save new values; merely updating it and thinking
   it would work out of the box makes it load “”, which defaults to the blog home
   page… x15.
 * I downgraded as a result.
 * There must be an option to reject awards entirely, and it should be on by default.
   Just setting number of comments to 2000000 is not good enough.
 * All bells and whistles should be off by default, don’t just take for granted 
   people want to use it.

 * Same problem here “Show in home page only” stays always in yes, cant change the
   settings.

 * Sorry about the unstable 1.4, everyone. You can try the v.1.4.1 version or downgrade
   to 1.3. Awards are switched off (0) by default.
    I apologize for not updating
   this sooner, as I could only sit up for a few minutes at a time due to my back
   injury.
