 * Hi all,
 * I recently upgraded from WordPress 1.5 to 1.5.1.2, and I’m experiencing some 
   dificulties with my comments section. After the upgrade, I removed the robot-
   proof image plugin in hope of adding the newer version back after I upgraded.
 * Once I downloaded the files, I uploaded over everything except the wp-content
   folder (my custom theme’s in there) and ran the upgrade script included.
 * Since then, whenever somebody comments (I took away the comment registration,
   by the way), no matter what they put in the name, email, or website field, it
   shows up as Anonymous and blank. I find it strange that the actual comment text
   shows up, but none of the rest.
 * After finding out about this problem, I went ahead and replaced my old comments.
   php with the one included in 1.5.1.2. That did nothing.
 * Sorry for the long post. Any suggestions would be grateful!
 * You can try it out at [http://jakejarvis.com](http://jakejarvis.com) on any post.

 * See if these threads are any help (or if they give hints as to what could be 
   wrong). Remember to backup the files before you change them (and read through
   the stuff before you do anything 😛 )!
