- Commenting with Safari - My friend and her S.O. have been trying to help me with my problem with Safari, but to completely fix it would require a total re-install of Wordpress, the thought of which makes my hair follicles hurt. Yesterday, when testing commenting with Safari, I got a new error message instead of the normal “You can’t do that. Bad person.” This new error message said that if you’re in Safari, you must change your security setting to allow all cookies. It also told me the problem is with CoComment. I did that, emptied my cache, shut down Safari, restarted Safari, and I could comment. Until I can look into it further, I suggest you do that. I’m sorry my programming idiocy prevents me from being a better host.
- Password difficulties - Again, I have no idea why except that computers have minds of their own, but in the last couple of days regular commenters have had to change their password in order to log-in. I swear to Diana Krall that I haven’t done anything to cause this. And if I did by accident, write Diana and ask for your money back.
- Moderating - You may have noticed that you can now comment, if you’re a second-time commenter, without my moderating. My spam filter is working really well, so I’m not the gate-keeper any more. Also, ignore the “commenting guidelines” that say you can’t use bad words or flame me. I always appreciate a good flame and a well-placed cuss word. If your comment gets too flame-y, I’ll simply delete it and delete you. That’s just how I roll.
- Update -
- Internet Explorer - As Jen-An just pointed out in the comments, for Internet Explorer users the “Submit” button is mostly hidden by the comment box. You can still submit if you hit that sliver that you can barely see just right. Oh, Diana Krall, why must you smite me this way? I just want write some stupid things on the intertubes, get some larfs, and you cross me at every turn. Crump or Mr. Crump, if you have any idea why this is so or why CoComment is such a pain in the ass, maybe you can let me know.

Girl, do you ever sleep? Isn’t it 12:30 in the morning there?

Yes. And yes. I had to do homework for class tomorrow. I could have done it when I got it in October last year, but, well…

Well, technically that homework is for class today now.

Oh laws. Now that I’ve lifted the gate, you’re gonna be commenting willy-nilly.

You should also mention to Explorer users that the submit button is almost entirely hidden by the comment box. Just the edge is visible on the bottom right, but it works if you hit it just right.

Is CoComment something that automatically comes with the theme, or is it an extra plugin? What are it’s benefits? Can you just get rid of it entirely?
And don’t worry — I was just making up for lost time.

I really hate to keep saying this, but I have no idea. It could be a K2 thing, it could be an unsleepable thing, or it could be the work of a deranged hacker. I have absolutely no idea. I’m paid to come in here, jot a few ramblings down, and run away. How the numbers and slash-marks that make the code behind this site work is way beyond my purview.
But look. I can do italics.

I don’t know how to fix any of the IE stuff (your theme code is scary complex), but I do know how to change the profanity message, if yr interested.

Go for it. Write me. I’m sure not everyone wants to know how to change my code.
