My friends just told me that their attempts to post to my Habari 0.8 site have been silently failing. (The page seemingly reloads with form data populated with what they just submitted, without the expected notice that the "comment is pending moderation".)
The failed comments are not marked as spam. When looking at the Comments admin panel, filtering to show *everything* the failed comments still don't show up at all. I can reproduce their experience sometimes - when in Chrome Incognito mode, and from Safari on a Macintosh. Otherwise, commenting works as expected, they go into moderation, and I get email notification. I don't know anything about HTTP or PHP, so I'll provide this info: Site: http://david.dlma.com/habari/ PHP Version: http://david.dlma.com/phpinfo.php I've turned off all plugins except Core Dash Modules 1.1, Flickr Media Silo 1.0, Habari Media Silo 1.0.1 and Undelete 1.0. I've set logging to any and debug, but neither one logs anything when comments don't successfully get recorded. On that note, there are no suspicious warnings or errors in the logs after the comment failures. I did customize the comment form like so (adding a txt exension to a copy of the actual files so that you can see them): http://david.dlma.com/habari_theme_visible/theme.php.txt http://david.dlma.com/habari_theme_visible/comments.php.txt http://david.dlma.com/habari_theme_visible/formcontrol_text.php.txt Three questions: 1. Does anybody know why sometimes commenting succeeds, and why it sometimes silently fails (when it's not marked as spam)? (Please feel free to experiment at my site. I'll eventually delete successful comments that are only for debugging purposes.) 2. Is there a way to notify the user why their attempt to comment failed? 3. Setting Admin->Options->Publishing->Comment SPAM Threshold to 100 percent is not understood by me. What does that number actually do?
