== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What is the De-link feature? =

If a user posts a comment, but includes a rather spammy link as their URL, you can click the De-link button to remove the person's link.

= Why is this plugin for WordPress 2.5 only? =

In order to ensure the most stability, this plugin is WordPress 2.5 only. The plugin makes extensive use of 2.5 features, so it is not possible to release for an earlier version.

= Will you provide support for older versions of Ajax Edit Comments (1.x)? =

The short answer is no.  I encourage you to upgrade to WordPress 2.5 and install the latest plugin version.  

I will offer hourly support on older versions, however.  Please <a href="http://www.raproject.com/support/">contact me</a> for more information.

= I don't have WP 2.5.  Is there a plugin for earlier versions? =

Yes, the last stable version for WP versions 2.1 - 2.5 is:  <a href="http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-ajax-edit-comments.v1.1.5.1.zip">1.1.5.1</a>.

Support is always free, but I will always move paid support requests to the top of my priority list.  If you have an unpaid support request, there is no guaranteed support.
