Some commenters have been reporting problems since yesterday that clicking “submit” gives them 404 errors and their comments don’t get posted. Obviously, it’s not affecting everyone, but it’s affecting dozens of Hot Air commenters, who can comment in the Headlines threads but not in the main blog. The Hot Air crew is trying to figure out the problem and a solution to it. Thanks for your understanding and patience.
Update (AP): A number of readers e-mailed yesterday to say that they’re able to comment in Headlines, just not on the blog. If that’s true in your case, leave a comment on this Headline item telling us which OS and browser you’re using. It’ll make it easier for our tech guys if reader data is aggregated in one place.
Update (Ed): I’m bumping this to the Top Picks just to remind people we’re still working on this and to keep the Headline link alive once it scrolls off the page. I’m also noticing, as have several e-mailers, that trackbacks aren’t working either. The tech staff knows about it and will work to resolve it.
Update II (Ed): Looks like we may have solved the problem, which was in a faulty line of code that disrupted the database. Test your comments here if you’ve been having the problem, and let us know if it’s not resolved.
