Import of comments/reviews from other components.
JComments supports import from other commenting components what significantly simplifies the migration process from your commenting system to JComments. Currently JComments allows to import data from 16 other commenting components. Please refer to section Data import in JComments for more details.
In administration panel you can set up for each user group (including unregistered) their rights to different functions of the component.
For example, you can switch off spam protection for registered users and leave it on for unregistered users, further you can allow for registered users to use only basic BBCode tags (I,B,S,U) and for authors and above to use links and images tags. So you can configure what rights have each group of users.
