NP_LatestComments v1.85 is compatible with NP_BBCode v0.6, comments can be shown with or without markup. BBCode that's broken because of shortening of the image will be closed at the end of the comment. Images and youtube movies can be replaced by text (including bbcode). When shortening the comments the length of text inside tags is ignored, yet the url between image or youtube tags is regarded as normal text. Therefore it's probably best to replace them.
