Recent Comments Revamp

With the new “Space” layout every Space has it’s own comment feed and comment meta data, none of which was showing up on the front page, nor on the “Recent Comments” page that’s more prominent if you’re on mobile.  I’ve made some significant changes on the back end with custom code that pulls in all the comments on the subSpaces and displays them on the sidebar.  The formatting should be exactly the same, but if you checked the comment feed this morning and compare it to what it shows now, you’ll see 100+ new comments from the various subSpaces.  There’s an RSS feed just for those subSpace comments too!

Some people (me) like bullet points and check lists:

1 – The comments feed in the sidebar now has comments from the entire MCS Space.

2 – Recent Comments page has a list of all the comments too, with the comment content!

3 – There’s an RSS feed for this, but I’m not 100% sure how it’s going to interact with the rest of the site.  Report any issues if you find them!

I’ve already discovered and resolved a couple issues involving spam and broken links while I was making this update post, so I’m sure we’ll find more.  Thanks for checking in and let me know if you have any suggestions on what to do next!
