 * I’ve recently installed WP 2.2.3 (though I intend to upgrade), but I am unable
   to post any comments – I get this message highlighted in yeller:
 * “The post you are trying to comment on does not currently exist in the database.”
 * Please excuse my noobness, but what does this mean?

 * thats not an error message that WordPress is generating — what plugins are you
   using?
 * Disable them one by one.. starting with things that might be affecting comments,
   and then try again.
 * Fwiw, the reason I wanted your url was to make sure that your comments form is
   actually picking up the post ID and it is:
 * `<input name="comment_post_ID" value="278" type="hidden">`

   forums.

 * OK I’ve gone through the plugins and think it might be the ‘AJAX page loader 
   plugin’.
 * *edit
 * Nope, don’t think it is,unable to post comments again.

 * Alrightee, I think it’s a K2 (K2 Release Candidate 1) bug.
 * I’ve switched back to K2 v096 and it’s all good.
