I need to know how to make one of the fields on my comment not NOT required. How can I set the e-mail field in the comment field to not be required, but optional?

Well, as far as WP is concerned these are glued together. You can add your own check for empty name, something like this (not tested):
add_filter('preprocess_comment', 'require_comment_author');
function require_comment_author($commentdata) {
if ('' == $commentdata['comment_author'])
wp_die('Error: please enter a valid name.');
return $commentdata;
}
But then will also need to modify form generation so name is marked up as required and email not...

1Yes, but then how would i require them to fill out that name then? I want to require the name and comment, but not the e-mail address. – user3333 Feb 20 '11 at 15:06
