# Commenting

 * Just wondering if it’s just my installations or if any of you has the same problem.
   Every once in a while I have problems with commenting. I don’t get many comments
   and I’m sure not everybody who tries notifies me of an error, so this “once in
   a while” could be more often, but this morning I had an email of somebody who
   could not leave a comment on one of my installations. I tried, got a 403, checked
   to see if I had any outdated plugins, which I had, but none that I would connect
   to these problems, but after that, things were back normal. Strangely enough 
   I noticed a couple of spam comments (not in queue) that I didn’t get a notification
   of, this also happens every few weeks.
 * The plugins that _could_ have something to do with this are:
    Bad Behavior (2.0.26)
   JS Spamblock (2.1) and perhaps: WP Super Cache Ask Apache (I’m on 3.5.1, since
   I don’t get newer versions to work)
 * When I try in different browsers things always work (quickly again). When I somebody
   notifies me of the problem, I don’t have to _try_ to reproduce the problem, it
   quickly shows (and is as quickly solved by something I don’t know 🙂 ) and things
   are back to normal again for a while. I don’t understand the spam-comments that
   I don’t get notifications of even though they are published (and of other comments
   I _do_ get notifications).
 * Nothing much changes in my installation. I upgrade WP when needed, I upgrade 
   plugins when needed, both after trying out in my test install first. I’m sure
   it’ll be something with an updated plugin or something, but does any of you have
   similar problems?

 * > Ask Apache
 * I tried this out several times on my test site as it is so promising.
    Eventually
   it messed with several things including comments…just a thought.

 * Possibly, but the strange thing that it only happens every now and then and I
   haven’t updated Ask Apache for months. I’m thinking more about Bad Behavior which
   is updated frequently, but I don’t know if that plugin can cause a server error
   on commenting.

 * I’ve had WP Super Cache turned off for about a month and the problems of unability
   to comment seem to no longer occur. Maybe the problem is temporarily solved by
   clearing cache, but I still wonder why Super Cache would cause inability to comment.
