For months now, the top commentators list has shown Betshopboy‘s entry together with someone else’s, with no link and no separator.
The problem was that some of his comments had a URL attached, and some didn’t, and that apparently confused the plugin. Since he recently got his own domain, I went through the database and updated all the comments to point to the new URL, and the top commentators list now displays correctly.
This isn’t really a permanent fix, though, since the next person who doesn’t put a URL in when they comment will still show up incorrectly. I haven’t quite figured out why, but suspect an incompatibility with the theme.
I’ll put some time into figuring that out when the problem comes up again.
I had issues with mine and I finally took it off. I have been meaning to work with it but it has become a loss cause. I will be getting back on top of it though.
Hi Jay
Thanks for the shout-out to my new domain, and your taking time and effort to fix the “no link on top commentator list” problem really means a lot.

You’re welcome! I need to do the same for Rosa’s new domain, too, since she has a lot of backlinks from comments that could be useful in the next page rank update.
Okay, Rosa’s links are fixed, so there are now 87 backlinks from comments to http://gajemaster.com/ .
Have I missed anyone else who’s switched to a domain lately?
