Sorry to hear about your troubles! As a rule I update
commentboxplus2.php along commentboxplus.php, even if it is not
mentioned on the page (I will make a note there about this).

Unfortunately I have no idea what you are talking about, as I am not a
person using Linux or Unix (I suppose the command you mention refers
to that?) and don't know what "Subversion" is. Posting an updated
script and documenting the change is work enough for me. And to
document in detail line by line the changes is beyond what I would
want to do. I do try to point out if the update is important, also
here on the list. Just have not yet managed for the latest
commentboxplus update.
