    Howdy

    I have been getting a number of complaints from people who are posting comments that aren’t showing up. Upon testing it appears that the first time someone tries to make a post nothing happens. Once they have been cookied down the user can post to their hearts content.

    When i say nothing happens what I mean is that the page reloads with no new contents and there is nothing in the moderation cue.

    I actually tested this myself so know it is happening. Clear your cookies and try to post a comment (if you want to test it use a comment that is obviously a test message so that I can delete it), the page will reload, and your details will be saved. After that you can post a comment and it will appear in the comment listing as if it was a normal post.

    You can see my website here : https://www.binarymoon.co.uk – I’m using wordpress 1.513, and have the following spam plugins installed lr2Spam, SpamPop and that’s it ?? I also rename wp-comment-post to try and slow down those dastardly (normally I’d use a stronger word) spammers.

    I’ve tried searching to see if anyone has had a similar problem but haven’t found anything. I did notice a cool little thing that checks to see if a comment is in moderation and if so add a saying so, which is now added.

    Any help appreciated

    I posted this two days ago so I’m guessing no-one has seen this problem before?

    If that’s the case then is there somewhere I can post a bug report so that the developers can confirm or deny the existance of the problem above? I had a look at the ‘requests and feedback’ section of the faq but that’s a little light on info at the moment.

    Cheers

    Well I just posted and it tells me that my comment is in the moderation que.

    hmm – and I see your post… I have upgraded since I posted this originally so maybe that fixed it.

    I’m going to have to try again now – maybe I bumped this for nothing ??

    Don’t know if this is important or not but I only tried it in Internet Explorer since I don’t want to clear my cookies.

    Update – Move Along – nothing to see here.

    I fell like a proper pillock now. Just tried it in IE and it worked fine. I really should double check things before posting problems…

    Oh well – thanks for looking oriecat

    Glad it’s all worked out! ??
