Where have all the comments gone?
by phil on Aug.04, 2008, under Web Sites
Well, I thought it was kind of weird that I stopped getting comments all of the sudden… even spam comments have been absent (for quite some time, now that I think about it). Well, Frank, from futtta’s blog informed me earlier tonight that my comments weren’t working. It was claiming that all the required fields weren’t filled (name and email).
Well, I got to work investigating the offending code, and it seems there was a name attribute missing from the input tag for email in comments.php for the finestripes theme. I simply added the attribute name="email" to the necessary input tag and it started working. Now, I guess it’s time to get Akismet up to date.
Sorry, Frank, for misspelling your blog’s name in my last post.

no problem phil, you’re not the only one having problems with that weird name
hope you can fix the remaining issue with the search-widget in the sidebar you mentioned.
