 * Hi,
 * We’ve been using WPBruiser (from [@mihche](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mihche/))
   for a long time without any trouble for our users.
 * A couple days ago, I installed and activated WP-Discuz on our busy site (along
   with your commercial media upload add-on). There are a lot of regular commenters
   on the site (e.g. there were 277 comments posted yesterday). Many of the regular
   commenters are repeat “guests” – meaning they are not logged in to the site, 
   having just filled in a name on the comment form and keeping that identity via
   the wp cookie.
 * I have disabled the WP-Discuz invisible spam protection by blanking out the Invisible
   Spam Protection field.
 * A few commenters are having their “reply” comments bounced by WPBruiser with 
   either “Invalid Token” or “Browser Info Invalid” errors. These must be “guests”
   as I have the WPBruiser “Disable Protection for logged in users” setting checked.
   As far as I can tell, these same users are able to create comments successfully
   using the main comment form to create top-level comments; they are only having
   issues creating replies to existing comments.
 * I tried testing by visiting the site from a non-logged-in browser and reply commenting
   as a guest, but I had no issue, and many of the guest commenters are also not
   having an issue, so it is not easily reproducible, though for the users who are
   having the problem, it happens repeatably. None of them so far are tech-savvy
   enough to give me more information.
 * I have cleared all caches and told the users to clear their browser caches (and
   gave them a link to a page that explains how to do so in all browsers), but the
   problem remains for some.
 * Here’s a link to the test post on which we announced using WP-Discuz and invited
   users to post test comments below: [https://www.theburningplatform.com/2018/08/08/new-tbp-comments-plumbing/](https://www.theburningplatform.com/2018/08/08/new-tbp-comments-plumbing/)
 * WP-Discuz v. 5.1.5
    WPBruiser v. 3.1.19 WP 4.9.8 PHP 7.2

 * I see that you just posted a test comment on the site. For user’s convenience,
   I have turned off WPBruiser comment protection temporarily so you will not have
   seen whatever the problem is. I will turn it back on and clear caches. Please
   wait a few minutes and try again.
 * EDIT: Ok, WPBruiser comment protection is turned back on.

 * Hi [@tmwnn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tmwnn/),
 * I’m sorry, but we don’t find this issue. Also, we don’t find it on our test websites.
   We’ll keep testing and let you know if we find such an issue.
 * But probably this is your website specific issue.

 * Hi [@gvectorssupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gvectorssupport/),
 * As mentioned in my original post, I also can’t reproduce it. But it consistently
   happens to some people on our site.
 * Since the people who are affected can post top-level comments, but not replies
   and since the problem is related specifically to WPBruiser spam protection and
   gives either an “Invalid Token” or “Browser Info Invalid” error, can you tell
   me what the differences are between the main comment form and the reply comment
   form that could be related to those errors? What token is WPBruiser looking for?
   How is that token injected into the POST request when a comment or reply comment
   is sent?
 * I am a WP plugin developer. Tell me where to look in your plugin and I will audit
   it and see if I can find anything useful to add.
