   Sorry for yelling.

   Question, I'm using a custom theme called Minim by UpstartBlogger.

   If you post a comment, a 404 page comes up saying Error - Not Found.

   This could make readers think their comment was not posted, thus turning them off to posting future comments (bad).

   However, when I refresh hit "back" and refresh the page, the comment is posted.

   So the question, how can I stop that 404 page from coming up so that commentators can see that their comments have indeed been posted?

   Any help would be gratefully accepted. Thank you.

   Hi, you could always start by changing theme, at least it stops the immediate problem of a 404 or losing comments, then if it a custom theme you can sort out the problem causing it, if it still happens ith another theme, you'll need to start looking for the conflict.
   hope you get it sorted.

   ANOTHER question:

   I also have a Gravatar plugin enabled. In my user dashboard, comments section, the Gravatar shows up, but on the blog itself, it doesn't.

   Does this have something to do with the CSS or a particular PHP page?

   Thanks, Mike. Thinking about doing that.

   Hi, try de-activating the gravatar plugin, you're using 2.7, shouldn't need it, I no longer use any plugin and they show up fine.
   good luck.

   I found the problem to my original question. It seems when a comment is posted, the URL that the commentator is redirected to has an extra forward slash in it...

   Example: http://mondonucleosis.com/hello-world//comment-page-1#comment-9

   I'm assuming there is some sort of code error in a php file...

   I'd be happy to share the code if someone could figure this out for me.

   I am having this exact problem! I have two forward slashes and get a 404 message. Did you have any luck figuring it out?

    I think i just figured it out actually. If anyone else is having the same issue, try checking you custom permalink setting. I had an extra space in the form field after /%postname%/ that I (obviously) couldn't see. Just removed that and now things seem a-ok.
