Comment Images 1.11.0 – Now Available

Last week, I had an interesting request for my Comment Images For WordPress plugin:

I wanted to make the default DISABLE so I could turn it ON on the ones I need it, instead of having to go through 200 posts and turn it OFF on 190 posts, that’s all. But if that’s not possible I understand.
