Hi,
I've just installed a fresh copy of WP and the Pixeled theme.
I just noticed that in IE7 the comment and more buttons don't display on my blog. - http://www.damienviero.com
It looks and works fine in other browsers.
Can anyone help? Or has anyone else had this prob?
Thanks
Looks fine now. Did you locate the problem?

I have the same problem, did you find a solution?
@erdbeere: Can you provide a link to your site?

Thanks!
I think there's a problem with the theme that you are using. It seems to be using javascript to generate the comment links and I think that this javascript simply doesn't work with IE.
At this point, I think you have 2 options:
1. Contact the theme's author and see if s/he will fix the problem and update the theme. They should do, ideally. I don't rate IE myself but it is far too popular a browser to ignore.
2. Amend the theme to use WordPress's built-in comment links.

Yeah i fixed it by commenting our the span.topMore in the stylesheet
Approx line 347
CHANGE THIS:
.topPost span.topComments, .topPost span.topMore, .topPost span.topTags {
TO THIS:
.topPost span.topComments, .topPost /*span.topMore,*/ .topPost span.topTags {

Thanks so much for your response! I already contacted the author, but haven't heard anything... so I think I might go for the 2nd option if its easy enough? Can you help me out with that?
I don't know the theme, so couldn't say how easy (or not) it might be.
Can you place a copy of your index.php file in the WordPress pastebin? I might get a better idea of how big a job it would be.

Oh..and I just Validated the blog here: http://validator.w3.org and there was a bunch of errors like 'ID comments already defined," "ID new-comment already defined", etc...could that be messing up IE?

ahh..thats the wrong index.php
http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1410437 is the right one I think!
Those kinds of errors could, at some point, create a minor display problem (such as a section of the page showing the wrong background color or font size) but, as far as I can tell, they're not the cause of the missing comment links in IE.
