Comment problems

An entry published by James Bennett on November 12, 2006, Part of the category Meta. Three comments posted.

So it seems that something’s broken somewhere in all the hacks I do to the comment system, because every attempt to submit a comment is now met with AkismetError: missing required argument.

I’m working on it.

Update: commenting still won’t work, but apparently I’m not the only person running into this bug. I can’t find any notes regarding changes to the Akismet API, but that feels like the most obvious reason why this is suddenly happening.

Updated again: and just like that, things are working again. Judging from a couple other people who told me they had the same problem, I think Akismet itself was borked for a while today.

The submit comment form on the articles about ajax-django still doesn’t show up.

Yeah, it’s not actually supposed to right now. I’ve been fiddling with disabling comments for older entries, and haven’t decided yet if I want to stick with it.

I really like the user authentication sample code. I’d also like to see a sample of register.html and confirm.html. I’m a real noob as well.
