can you look at this page and let me know why "preview" and "submit" are visable when you have to be signed in to leave a comment, pressing them just creates confusion - i don't remember them being there before..
maybe i messed something up in the comment-form template?

Full Version: Why Do 'preview' And 'submit' Show When Not Logged In
Can you post the template please.
Yeh, that would have useful 
i just installed 'Comment Subscribe' plugin, you can see that the "Notify when..." also apears when not logged in (btw, it works great)
I pulled up the default templates from the MT site, but Comment-Form is fairly different from what i have (i haven't really edited this template except to add in 'Subscribe' checkbox from plugin
i'm confused how it knows not to past the comment box when you're not logged in - it shows up in 'view source' - feel like i'm missing something easy?

OtherNiceMan do you have any suggestions for me? i feel like it's something very simple that i might have accidentally deleted- i knew i should have made a copy of the template before i started editing it...

Just been having another look.
The template posted does not match the page source. On the page the closing form tag is just after the text area (id=comment-text), leaving comments-open-captcha, coment-form-subscribe and comments-open-footer outside of the form so they are never hidden. It would / should also play havoc if anyone tries to enter a comment as the buttons are orphaned.

NM!!! i figured it out
you actually put me on the right track - it was just an ending div tag was out of place, so the hiding stopped half way down...
thanks!
