Commenting Issues

Comments

For whatever reason, the WYSIWYG commenting tools that we’ve had since moving to WordPress circa 2005 have not worked since moving to WordPress 3.x and the new layout, despite several attempts to fix.   My tech has disabled it again and will try something else soon, hopefully over the weekend.

    I think this falls under the category of “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it..”

    The old site was in serious need of a rebuild because it was constantly crashing from excess mySQL queries and whatnot. I figured a facelift was due as well and combined the two.

    But I would have upgraded to WP3 regardless because of some security issues and backend functionality, so the commenting would have gotten screwed up regardless.

    No, no, upgrading to WP3 was a solid move (once you get the kinks worked out). I am talking about the the current commenting mechanism. Buttonless works, in my opinion.

    Blockquoting and linking are a minor pain this way, but it’s preferable to wonky buttons.

    James, thanks for your efforts. I am sure whatever solutions you come up with I will bitch about to no end.
