# Comments -> Database

 * I was messing around in my theme and changed the default values for the comments
   fields that it had set forth. Now when someone posts a comment, if they don’t
   enter a website, wordpress automatically puts http:// your website.
 * I want to put an if statement somewhere to determine if the default values are
   present and if they are, clear them out before adding to the database, but I 
   can’t for the life of me see where the aforementioned task is actually done.
 * Can someone point me in the right direction? I know how to code the PHP to make
   it check that the field wasn’t just the default value, but I don’t know where
   to look to start.

 * Assuming your Theme is using the `comment_form()` function, where did you define
   the `fields` array that is part of the `$new_defaults` array that you passed 
   to `comment_form()`?
