On the comments page, the form to allow a user to enter their name and email address appears, even though anonymous comments are turned off. There are several things which make this really quite bizarre:
- When I'm logged in, it displays the form, but regardless of what information I enter in the form, it registers the comment to my logged in name.
- If I am not logged in, it displays the link to sign in. After I sign in, it displays the name/email form again. If I enter a comment at this point, regardless of what information I enter in the form, it registers the comment to my logged in name.
- This only occurs in Firefox, not in Internet Explorer
- This only occurs in ONE of my blogs. I currently am running two blogs, both with refreshed templates of the 'Community Blog' type, fresh from an upgrade -- I have not made any changes to the templates following the refresh. I've ensured they both have the same settings related to comments (no registration allowed, no anonymous comments, comments by MT allowed).
The only distinction between the two blogs themselves is that one is running in a subdirectory, and one is running on a subdomain -- the one on the subdomain is the one which doesn't work. If I reconfigure the blog to run in a subdirectory of the server, instead of a subdomain, it works.
Both blogs have had the sites published. I've cleared the browser cache, logged out, restarted the browser, and it's consistently repeatable and bewildering.
I'd say it's some failing of javascript, with a location being interpreted differently through IE and FF, but...?! where/how... any ideas?
