Comments Don’t Seem to Work for IE Users - FIXED!

I’ll spare you all the “you should be using a real browser” lecture for right now, and just let you know: I’ve tried to post a comment to my latest post in IE7, and I got stuck on the wp-comments.php page. Right now, I don’t know whether it’s a WordPress bug, an IE7 bug, or something in my theme since I’ve upgraded to WP 2.7. So, for all of you that want to leave a comment and can’t, rest assured that I’ll get to fix this when I can!

Oh, and by the way, commenting is working for me in Firefox 3.0.5, and it’s a free download.

UPDATE: Looks like it was a plugin causing the problem.  I use Link Love to take away the nofollow restriction on links in comments.  Guess I’ll be looking for a new plugin for that feature!

Firefox

I’ve joined up as part of the campaign to get people to download and
try Mozilla’s Firefox browser.  I’ve been using it pretty much
exclusively for months now, and it’s finally in it’s 1.00 Preview
release form.  I think if you tried it that you’d find it much more
friendly and extendable than IE or Netscape.

Better than IE:

• Popup blocker built in
• Has it’s own RSS reader built in.
• Ad Block Plug in removes flash and any banner ads from your web page for faster browsing
• Not integrated into the OS
• No ActiveX
• Does not have confusing Zones to be exploited by hackers
• Tabbed Browsing with the mouse wheel click.

Better than Netscape:

• Only a browser (has separate mail program)
• No Netscape branding
• Faster page rendering

So, if you haven’t tried Firefox, or you’ve tried an early version,
please give it a shot and see what you think.  You won’t be sorry you
did!  Just click on the image below
