I was deleting Clip spam and noticed PlanetOzh was clipped. Checking out the site I see they released a WordPress plugin called Absolute Comments:
Absolute Comments adds something that everybody misses: the ability to reply to comments from within your regular “Manage Comments” page, without having to load the post page first. It also adds to each comment email notification a very convenient and fast “Quick Reply” link to instantly reply to comments.
What I like about this is that it bring comment management back into the control panel (read, approve, delete and now respond inside the control panel instead of having to go to the site page). It was just released on the 6th so it's new. And it has threaded comment support.
Anyone using it and if you aren't, is it something that interests you? I think it really streamlines the comment management process - cool tool!

I don't use that plugin, but I do use a plugin of a similar function called Better Comments Manager, though the one you gave seems to be a slightly better version of that. I might as well give it a try. I'm too used to commenting from my admin already and I do that all the time rather than loading the page itself to comment.
Thanks for the heads up Tyme. :)

I installed it but it doesn't play well with my contact plugin so I can't actually use it. I intend to change my contact plugin to something else as this looks like a really handy little widget.
I tried better comments manager but I didn't like the fact it was on a separate page, it just makes things more cumbersome than they need to be.

The developer of the plugin said he was using Better Comments and there were things we wished were improved so he wrote Absolute Comments.
Glad you two found it useful. :)

I was given an invite to use "intense debate" comments which are threaded but don't work on my blog. I'd like the option of threaded comments though, so I might have to look at this plug-in if it offers threading.

cooper - it doesn't offer threading, however it works with plugins that do offer threading. The best bit is being able to reply to comments from within the commenting wp-admin panel.

Could you tell me which plug-ins offer threading?
