Full Version: Comments not remembering user info

When entering comments, I select [remember info] radio button and I enter my email address and name. Whenever, I re-visit another comment page, the fields are blank, even though I asked it to remember me. I have tested this in IE 5.2/Mac and Safari 1.2.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Can we have a link to your site? Checking the code live is one way to determine if the var HOST variable is different than the comments URL, which is the most common reason I've seen for this problem smile.gif

Thanks for the tip. The site is private and is set up locally only.

I went in and set all of my host information the same with a "real" local host name - "shiny.local", in my case.

I then used the new name in:
Apache httpd.conf servername
Weblog Config blog and archive url
mt.cfg CGIPath

I left the default setting in the Individual Entry Archive as
var HOST = '<$MTBlogHost$>';

Everything is working now. I was using "localhost" everywhere before and for some reason, the configuration was not happy. This is better anyway, because I can access it from other machines.

Thanks

I'm experiencing the same problem as well.

Comment listing template:
CODE
var HOST = g.shiroiwa.org';

URL to your popup comments:
CODE
http://64.62.155.173/~shirhytc/mt/mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=372


I've tried changing $MTBlogHost$ in my comment listing template to http://64.62.155.173/~shirhytc/ without success. Any recommendations on how to fix my problem?
