Comment Posting Problems
I’ve noticed and so have others about a problem while posting comments on this blog.
IE throws up a Page Cannot Displayed error and Firefox asks you to download the PHP file.
I’m still clueless as to what could be the exact problem with this and so I’ve decided to test Akismet instead of SK2 for a while in the process of isolating and eliminating the error.
I don’t believe this problem to be because of PHP, because I can make posts perfectly with a lot more data than the comments.
My next step after this is to deactivate the Math Plugin to see if that could a cause. I might switch back to Peter’s Antispam with the CAPTCHA as well.
Any one have any ideas about what could be causing this problem?

It has happened to me at times on this site. Hope this comment goes through.
Yeah , i faced a problem a few times , lets hope this comment gets posted .
@Binny, you’re comment got caught as spam by Akismet. You should write in to them. I recovered it.
@Madhur, you’re comment came through properly.
You’re not the only one with this problem. For instance, I read a similar post here: http://www.infektia.net/2007/03/22/anti-spam-functions-for-wordpress/
Anyway I never encountered any problem with the math plugin. (I’m using firefox).
I didn’t face the problem myself, hence, it is a bit hard to debug.
Ajay, Here few more observation…
The comment part of each post takes considerably long time to load.
The Math plugin sometime tells me that you’ve failed in the math, even though I’m good enough at Math :-0
I think its good time to remove couple of plugins..!!
Ajay, I have written to Akismet – I did not get any response from them yet. I think it is because I use a blogspot site as my url. Blogspot is notorious for the amount of spam blogs on it. From now on, I will not use that in my URL field. Let me see if it makes any difference.
@Benedict, that loading is a fault of Feedburner. I’m not sure what I can do there!
I may replace the Math plugin with Peter’s Antispam once again and see how good / bad the captcha works out to be!
Or I may just use a simple additional question (not random)
@Binny, Try using you’re .com or others. I guess this comment went through without problems.
sometimes it happens when you have slow internet connection. it happens on me quite regular when my connection speeed was really slow.
@Ajay, from the day i have started posting i have been facing this problem of page cannot be displayed after loading a comment, and when i click on the refresh button it shows Duplicate comment detected.!!
but i thought that i must be making some mistake so never mentioned it…!! this is just for ur info…:)
@Cypher, thanks for confirming this, because it was a similar observation I made as well.
@Luna, that is the problem I am talking about. You’re still facing it?
yes..every time i make a post..!!
I certainly have had no such problem when posting on your site.. I’ll report if I do get a problem anytime.
I believe it could be internet connection coupled with server settings…
I too had problem with Comments 2 times in this blog…let me check this time…
I’m working on the PHP configuration of the server… lets see if this gets rectified.
so have u been able to locate something?? me still facing the same problem..

Damn, seems like you’re still getting error even though I made changes… This is really irritating me…
@Ajay, u said u would take down the maths spam protection thing n see. what happened..did it work??
I have increased some limits on the server. I take it you are still facing the problem??
well lemme try!
So, what were your results?
I have disabled the math plugin as well.
not working! may be something is wrong with my webhost.
btw i guess its abt time your scm online course started..isn’t it??? all the best for the same.
They will be emailing us the details. We are still waiting for the same.
The load time has increased much with your site now..
Any part in specific that seems to be getting stuck??
I haven’t had a problem posting a comment on your site (yet). But I strongly suggest you give Akismet a try. It’s a life saver !
@Aniela, I’m currently running Akismet itself. But, I prefer SK2
I can’t see the problem with posting comments. Problem fixed …
