Hmm……I see that error too. Have you modified either ‘wp-comments.php’ or ‘wp-comments.post.php’ ?
Podz,
No, I haven’t edited either one.
This is very odd….
I just posted (or rather not) a comment, and this appears in the address bar
“http://www.citizenkeith.com/index.php?
s=&author=Podz&comment_post_ID=547
&redirect_to=%2Farchives%2F2004%2F09%2F23%2F
time-to-smile%2F&email=tamba%40gmail.com&url
=www.tamba2.org.uk%2FT2&comment=test&submit=Say+It%21″
URL split so it displays (and a character removed from my email)
It’s searching ?
I’ve not seen this before ………
Where do I fill out the bug report? 😉
I just hopped over there to see what I could do. I got the same “Sorry, no posts matched…”
And after that, when I refreshed the page, every one of your post’s contents had this nastygram:
Warning: Unknown modifier ‘/’ in /web/script/khanlon/citizenkeith.com/wp-content/plugins/google-hilite.php on line 105

Something — perhaps on your web host’s end? — changed between the time that that original comment (by Etz) was left and now. Hope you can solve it!
Joni
Thanks Joni. I sent an email to my server admin. I have no idea where to BEGIN trouble shooting this thing!
You coud deactivate that plugin.
That should solve it ?

Ok, I mispoke. I did have an idea where to begin troubleshooting: I tried disabling that plug-in, and the results were the same. Then I disabled all the others, and it still happened. 🙁
Looks like it was some bad XHTML on my part. I tried to adapt my Blosxom template when I switched over to WordPress, and I guess I screwed up some WP template tags.
I think it’s working now. Can somebody else test a Comment for me?
Well, it acts like it’s going to let me post a comment, and when I press SUBMIT, I am taken back to your individual post. But no comments are sneaking through yet. I tried twice on your entry about Russ Meyer.
So something is still amiss, but at least it’s not spitting out warnings anymore!
I am moderating comments… they all came through fine. I’ll turn off moderation and see what happens.

I found I could temporarily solve this problem by deleting the “author” cookie and re-starting my browser (IE 6). Hope that helps figure this out. One other clue: I have two instances of WordPress on the same host and in the same domain. Perhaps the two instances are confusing one another since they’d both see the same cookie. …doug
Doug: Thank you for that one. I also run two WP installs on the same machine, and I experienced that same problem. Now they run rightly again.
Is running two WP installs on the same subdomain considered a bad practice?
The Author cookie fixed it on one of my blogs.
I was having this same problem and ‘only’ with Firefox. The site worked in IE, Mozilla, Netscape, Opera…. etc…
So, when I deleted the “Author’ cookie in Firefox, that made the site work again.
Many thanks for this thread, all of your answers, and the WP support forums because I was about to pull all my hair out. :o) And I don’t have that many left!
Thank you.
