Comment moderation - message not showing up in FireFox (8 posts)

    I just upgraded from V1.2.1 to V1.5 (am LOVING the new version! LOVING it!) but am encountering a bug.

    If you are a new commenter on my site and you are using IE, your comment will show up after submitting it with a message that your comment is being held for moderation. Only you can see that comment and it won't show up until I do moderate it.

    However, if you're using FireFix you don't see your comment at all and you see no message that your comment is being held for moderation.

    I would like this message to show up for both IE and FF users as I think it's very confusing for people to post a comment, not have it show up, and get no explanation as to why it's not showing up. Here's the code that is currently on my comments.php page:

    <?php if ($comments) : ?>

    <ol id="commentlist">

    <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>

  2. <?php comment_text() ?><span class="comm-author"><?php comment_author_link() ?></span> on
    " title=""><?php comment_date('n/j/y') ?> @ <?php comment_time() ?> <?php edit_comment_link('[e]','',''); ?>
    <?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
    (Your comment is awaiting moderation)
    <?php endif; ?>

    3. <?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>

A friend of mine is helping me troubleshoot and his wondering if it's the way FF stores cookies as opposed to IE? Any way to fix this?

    Odd. On my site it appears under Firefox without difficulty. Having just visited it does appear to be happening as you say on your site. The cookies seem fine as well. Currently stumped.

    I did tweak the code somewhat last night. I wonder if I should try placing the orginal code and then seeing what happens?

    Thanks Mac. I have that same exact code in my comments.php file though and it's still not working with FireFox.

    <?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
    (Your comment is awaiting moderation)
    <?php endif; ?>

    Still trying to figure out why. And did my post mess up the layout of this page??

    We should probably stick to the other thread, since the code posted in the first post here has screwed up this thread's layout.

    I'm sorry. I'll move back to the other thread. =(

    I actually just figured this out. Since I turned my own layout into a theme, I thought I had to upload the comments.php page into my theme directory. Which in theory worked, but then the above problem happened.

    I deleted my tweaked version of my comments.php page and noticed that the page was still loading from somewhere. After some troubleshooting, I found that my theme was pulling the comments.php page from the "default" theme directory. After re-uploading my own tweaked version of the comments.php page to the "default" theme directory, my test comment that I posted now shows up in FireFox with the statement that it is being held for moderation.

    And to think I worked all day on this and badgered ColdFusion as well. *shakes head* Many thanks to CF and everyone else who attempted to sort this out with me. I REALLY appreciate it!
