# 404 error when submit comment

 * Hoping you all can help. Some commenters on my blog – but not all – encounter
   a 404 error after they submit a comment, and the comment never goes through.
 * Certain commenters are redirected to this page after they click submit: [http://www.mysouthborough.com/wp-comments-post.php](http://www.mysouthborough.com/wp-comments-post.php)(
   If you click the link you’ll see the page is blank, but commenters report they
   get my standard 404 error page.)
 * This is affecting only some commenters, not all. I can’t discern a pattern as
   to which commenters it’s happening to, and I’m not able to reproduce it. But 
   I’ve heard it from several different commenters now, so I don’t believe it’s 
   a client-side problem.
 * I haven’t made any changes to the blog recently. No new plugins. I actually haven’t
   even upgraded my plugins in a while (oops), so no code changes there.
 * Any thoughts on what might be happening?
 * Thanks in advance!
 * Susan

 * Anyone? More readers have notified me of this problem, so I know it’s still happening
   and I’m struggling! Suggestions?

 * I have a bit more information on this 404 error. It seems to happen exclusively
   with IE. I was able to reproduce it using IE 8, and a reader who had encountered
   the problem with IE was able to successfully submit a comment using Firefox.
 * I wish I could say that piece of data made it more obvious to me what the problem
   is, but alas it doesn’t.
 * Any thoughts out there?
