Full Version: Vanishing Comments Form In 4.01

Howdy all,

I am having a strange problem on an otherwise healthy MT4 site: the entire comments form vanishes shortly after rendering. I've seen this happen on Safari and Firefox, regardless of my cookie status.

Check out http://jmac.org/gameshelf/mt4/2007/11/plea...t.html#comments . If you see what I see, then you see the comment form get drawn as it should, but within a second or so it's gone. The "Leave a Comment" header remains on the page.

I am assuming that some JS at some point decides that the form oughtn't be there and sets its visibly to "none". Which seems a little strange, yes. I do have my blog set to allow comments, and all that. Anyone have any ideas what could be happening?

Check that mt-comments.cgi is set to executable, because when I try to access any of your cgi files I get the text when I would expect just an error message about missing parameters etc. Even trying to search returned the perl code.

Sheesh! You are quite correct, due to a web server config snafu none of the CGIs in that directory were executing. How embarrassing.

Things are working better now. Thank you very much!
