hi john
I'm on the way configuring the commentbox. So I write you some 
expiricence/suggestions.

At default a comment looks like this:

>>message<<
!17:32 by '''[[~Admin]]'''!This is the comment title
This is the comments sentence. This is the comments sentence. This is the 
comments sentence. This is the comments sentence. This is the comments 
sentence. This is the comments sentence. 
>><<

* It seams that there is either missing a "\n" at the end of "$MPTimeFmt" 



This are the output of the commentbox.php

<MPDateFmt><MPTimeFmt>This is the comment Title
This is the comments sentence. This is the comments sentence. This is the 
comments sentence. This is the comments sentence. This is the comments 
sentence. This is the comments sentence. <MPItemFmt><MPItemEndFmt>

* MPItemFmt is at the end of the message. I'm wondering if it  shouldnt be at 
the beginning of the comments sentence cause MPItemEndFmt follows right after 
the end of MPItemFmt

So far I understand it is hard to cusomize the commentbox template cause the 
order of the variables are fixed. Would there be a solution to have a 
template that defines the order in wikitext format like:

CommentTemplate="
!!!! MPDateFmt
!! MPTitleFmt
MPCommentFmt
$Autor, MPTimeFmt
";
