#1 If you don't mind, Fred, I can test it on Opera 10, Firefox, and Flock (used to be Navigator) using Windows XP. This comment is posted using Opera 10. I've gotten the same error message I sent you earlier a couple of times today, but that may have been before you made the change.

#3 Fred, I continue to get the "please take this test" page. I do like the though of Santa groping a young maiden though...

#4 You should get the picture five times when you change your nick, or your browser. Then all should return to normal. I need that to keep bots from inviting all to their casinos and porn sites.

#8 But a similar comment from the Main Page (i.e., as if I were a regular user and not a mod) did NOT come through.

All comments Mac, Mac OS X 10.6.x, Safari 4.x

#9 Odd -- comments from us non-admin types are showing our email fields instead of our name fields.

#10 Looks like it still needs some fine tuning. I guess it'll give me something to do this evening...

#11 OK - I'll come in late to the party and chime in. Windows XP, IE.

#12 Hmmm. Looks exactly the same as yesterday. Does that help, Fred?

#13 Ummmm - Fred? My e-mail address is showing up at the bottom of the comment (beside "Posted by:") in place of my name. (and yes, the name and e-mail are in the right place on the comment form.)

BUT, I just noticed while typing this that my name is there in the right place on previous comments while I'm on this page, but I'm betting the e-mail will show up when I post this.

#14 Yep, I was right. I starts with comment #9 (but your name shows up in your comment #10.)

Have fun - I know less than nothing about this stuff.

#17 Comment from the editors' page using Safari on the Mac...

#18 That worked a lot better...

#19 Hokay. I think comments should be fixed now, except for a webpage showing up as an email or some such thing. Let me know when that happens.

I'm getting old. Once I found it, the solution was pretty simple. Finding it wasn't.

#20 Firefox 3.55 w/ Fedora

#21 possibly related possibly not.

i could not post until i had a 'valid' email addy. i had the word 'at' in place of the '@' and it failed to post. changed it to vlaid, and violla!. possibly coincidence.

also comment time is showing up as "09:07" instead of "17:07"

still see e-mail addy in comment instead of name.

not bitching and moaning.. just posting possibly relevant information.

oh, Windows 7 and firefox 3.5.5

#23 testing with firefox 3.0.15, 2100 and all is well

#24 Nope - e-mail address is still showing up in place of my name after the comment is posted.

But while I'm typing in the comments box I can see my name in the right place on my previous post.

#25 I checked the database and all the data's in the right fields. The problem lies with the page presentation -- I'll have to chase it down tomorrow. I'm off to nitey-bye now.

#26 Actually, I think it's fixed now... Can't understand why it didn't do the same thing before, in fact.
