Comments Bug

February 6th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

I made a change to the comments feature tonight, and in the process discovered a “bug”.

First, readers will now be able to leave a comment without being a registered user. All you need to do is provide your name and an email address. There are still some conditions that will hold a comment until it is approved, such as if it contains a certain amount of links.

In the process, I dicovered that after leaving a comment users were redircted to a 404 error page. After some quick investigation, I found the cause to be an extra space I had in the permalink configuration. The error has now been remediated so everything is running normally.

Update: I should also mention that when you post a comment, your email address is not displayed. You name will be a hyperlink to your web site.
