Full Version: Unpublish Comment Doesn't Work

The option to "Unpublish" a comment doesn't appear to work for me. Steps to reproduce:

1) Select a published comment on any given entry.
2) From the "More actions..." menu, select "Unpublish Comment(s)", and click Go.
3) Admin page refreshes, and says that it is rebuilding the relevant pages.
4) When the admin page refreshes again, it shows the little yellow triangle next to the comment to indicate that it is not published.
5) Looking at the actual entry, the comment is still there.

Anyone else experiencing this, or is there something weird with my installation? The only way I can get rid of comments at the moment is to delete them, but that's not what I want to do.

FOLLOW-UP

On the ProNet list, Brad Choate fingered the problem quickly: The SimpleComments plugin (http://kalsey.com/2003/02/simplecomments/), which I'm using to display comments and trackbacks intermingled, is not yet fully MT3.2-aware. Under some circumstances (not all--I haven't run exhaustive tests), it seems to allow unpublished comments and junk comments to be displayed.
