Comments Problem

Folks are having trouble posting comments; we're aware of it and working on it. Thank you for your forbearance.

UPDATE: Comments should be working again. Thanks, wondrous whiterose mega-elfs!

test from non-popup

comments work from the non-popup (individual archive) comment form.

Popup comments are an abomination. While they are permitteded, they suck (and not in the good way). I will fix them.

No they don't. At least not if I hit preview and then hit post after previewing.

#4 ::: Jason ::: March 16, 2005 3:34 PM ::: link

Ok, that posted... maybe they are just slow?

#5 ::: Jason ::: March 16, 2005 3:35 PM ::: link

Yeah, that's the problem. It doesn't post quick enough that on the page reload after I hit Post, the comment is visible.

Thanks for more-or-less fixing this, Michael.

You're more-or-less welcome, Jason. The sever isn't up to the tasks we're asking of it. We're looking at that.

all combinations of all options now seem to work.

Please send Jason haring after any further defects. If he's OK, then you're set, and I'll send you a notice to tell you what I had to change.

This is basically an emergency performance fix, using MT-keystrokes and MT-moderate...
