Comments are flakey?

I've gotten several e-mails from readers that they haven't been able to leave comments on this blog. I suspect it has something to do with twisty comments, but I just tried them in Firefox 1.0 on Windows XP and they seem to be working fine. In order to help me track down this problem, try posting a comment to this entry and see if it works. Make sure and copy it before you post it, just in case it doesn't work. Clicking on the "Permalink" or title for this post will take you to a backup comment form that seems to work regardless. Thanks for the help!

Update: From the various comments, there doesn't seem to be a common thread. It seems that half the folks that used Firefox + XP it worked for and the other half it didn't. I doubt it's a caching issue, but I have been seeing a lot of the following in my logs: 

ERROR 2005-01-22 19:51:01,944 | RequestProcessor:processMapping | Invalid path /comment was requested

Roller recently changed from using /comment to /comments - so I don't know if it's spammers hitting the old URL or what. My guess is yes since it seems to happening in blocks. I'll try to add a preview button tonight so users will get taken to the permalink form for previewing. Either that or I could just change to always using the permalink form. It's up to you guys - let me know what you prefer.

Did it work?

Posted by Kevin Williams on January 22, 2005 at 05:47 AM MST #

I have been reading your blog for some time, and will finally sit down soon and work on a couple of simple web applications to learn some Java technologies, i.e. Spring, Hibernate, etc. I am looking forward to using AppFuse. One thing I've noticed. I tried to search your site today for "AppFuse", and the search returned 0 results. Posting this from Safari.

Keep up the good work! Like many others have said, you're an inspiration! Did not work with: Firefox 1.0 + Win2k; Posted from the permalink form.

Posted by Patrick Turcotte on January 22, 2005 at 01:03 PM MST #

Maybe the math questions are too hard? - Firefox 1.0 and unfortunately Win XP did not work from the home page. Trying permalink form.

Posted by Keller on January 22, 2005 at 01:29 PM MST #

Trying again from the home page. (Firefox 1.0 and unfortunately Win XP)

Posted by Keller on January 22, 2005 at 01:29 PM MST #

Once more from the home page FF 1.0 Win XP

Posted by Keller on January 22, 2005 at 01:32 PM MST #

And now from IE 6 just to be sure that works as well.

Posted by Keller on January 22, 2005 at 01:33 PM MST #

Doubt it is a cookie issue but let's delete all RD cookies from FF and see what happens now (This failed to post on the home page, now trying permalink page).

Posted by Keller on January 22, 2005 at 01:38 PM MST #

Well, look like when I delete my RD cookies, I can't post in FF 1.0/Win XP on the home page.

Lost comments posted to ruby

Does it work?

Posted by Lan on January 23, 2005 at 08:18 PM MST #

Triing with permalink, it didn't work with IE and Firefox on XP. Maybe cause I'm french?

Posted by Cédric Dupont on January 24, 2005 at 02:01 PM MST #

Thanks for all the testing folks. I decided to ditch the twisty comments and only use the permalink version. It seems to work for most folks and also has preview functionality.

Posted by Matt Raible on January 24, 2005 at 06:13 PM MST #

Testing that math authenticator total box gets cleared after successful post. Had noticed that it didn't get cleared the other day, but can't reproduce this problem on my own site.

Posted by Anil Gangolli on January 25, 2005 at 04:38 AM MST #

It doesn't get cleared on your site. This doesn't happen on my site built from the current 1.0 release branch. Might be a fix that hasn't made it to the mainline yet.

Posted by Anil Gangolli on January 25, 2005 at 04:41 AM MST #

It works only after I enabled the coockies for this site. Maybe you should post somewhere that in order to post, one needs to let the cookies for this site. IMHO this is a bug, since URL rewriting should work when the cookies are disabled.
