comment

hello, from a couple of days now people can’t comment on my site..
whenever they comment they get this “Error: please type a comment.”
although everything is filled..

i think something is wrong w/ my code
<?php // Do not delete these lines
if (‘comments.php’ == basename($_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_FILENAME’]))
die (‘Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!’);

if (!empty($post->post_password)) { // if there’s a password
if ($_COOKIE[‘wp-postpass_’ . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) { // and it doesn’t match the cookie
?>

<?php _e(“This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.”); ?>

<?php
return;
}
}

/* This variable is for alternating comment background, thanks Kubrick */
$oddcomment = ‘alt’;
?>
