   Hy everyone. I have a problem that has been bugging me for some time.
   I wanted to change my layout for my website to a photoblog so i installed the yapb plugin and the monolit theme. The problem is, now when users comment on my website they don't get their user information automatically filled up after they post the first time so that they shouldn't retype their information each time they want to post something. Cookies are working, i checked, but somehow the new template does not seem to recognize them.

   Here are the codes from comments.php and the functions that it's calling.

   Any help would be greatly apreciated as this can be very annoying for my commenters.

   The code you posted doesn't have anything to "remember" commenter information. Nor does any theme I know of. It's certainly not built into WordPress. That code can know if you're a logged in user, but not if you're just somebody who commented once before.

   Any "auto-completion" your users see is due to their browser remembering it from last time. Your blog code isn't doing anything special for that to happen.

   I mean, yes, the functions.php is using variables like $comment_author and $comment_author_email and such, but they're not defined anywhere inside the function, and they are not globals. So they don't do anything. I suspect the writer of the theme just copied that stuff from somewhere instead of writing it himself.

   The thing is, if i change to any other theme, it works of, the browser remembers the users information. I looked to the source code of the theme but found no lead to what part of it handles this remembering process :(
