Any thoughts on how I could replace the “reply to this” link with a link that would let me reply to the LAST comment instead of to the top post?

Currently the plugin reads:

// Fool WP to believe it only has a given amount of posts, so that it doesn’t display a million posts on the front page
$wp_query->post_count=get_option(‘posts_per_page’);

Do I replace this with the code provided by bitkahuna? Do I add to it? I tried a few things but keep getting fatal errors in WP.

2nd question – pluging lists “view all replies” and “reply to this” link below the post. Handy, but I would like the reply to this link to actually lead to a reply on that LAST comment. Right now, it just creates a top-level comment but that’s already offered by the “reply to” link in P2. Is there a simple fix?

Thanks in advance.

the problem is where you try to ‘fool’ wp into only displaying the posts per page – if there’s LESS posts in the blog than posts per page, you’re still telling it to display posts per page number. so my fix:

// only do this if there's more posts in the blog that posts per page
$ppp = get_option('posts_per_page');
if (count($posts) > $ppp) {
    $wp_query->post_count=$ppp;
}
