Several members have complained that they can not post comments when using IE.

A solution has been made available

Solution Manager: Bernard

Issue description

Apparently it goes to the preview, then it won't post, it just keeps going back to the preview.

I have verified that this is consistently IE (not firefox)

They are not behind firewalls.

But unfortunately I can no longer post to the site. For instance I tried to add a comment to the "Who are the most underrated authors?" conversation, and it just keeps looping me back to "Preview your comment." Same thing when I tried to comment on one of Tracey's poems.I deleted all my offline content including cookies. Still no go. By chance has this problem come across your desk before? This is typical of the problem.

Bernard from nearby-an-airport Associate 6544 posts registered on Sep. 12 2003	Reply · Quote on Apr. 10 Actually I have re-introduced in release 8.2 a bug that was fixed about one year ago. The issue is that IE6 poorly supports multiple buttons, and the preview button is "taking over" the submit button. One way to go is to suppress the preview button in `comments/edit.php` as follows: $context['text'] .= '<p>'.Skin::build_submit_button(i18n::s('Submit'), i18n::s('Press [s] to submit data'), 's')."</p>n"; instead of $context['text'] .= '<p>'.Skin::build_submit_button(i18n::s('Submit'), i18n::s('Press [s] to submit data'), 's') .' '.Skin::build_submit_button(i18n::s('Preview'), NULL, NULL, 'preview')."</p>n"; A definitive solution will be introduced in version 8.4, featuring one submit button and one preview link.
