I have the post new comment form on the same page as a image.

When I try to post a new comment, the form seems to work and takes me to the preview of the comment.

When I click save. The comment is not posted.

What should I be looking for?

Drupal 6.4

I have this problem for anonymous users. Under admin/user/permissions, anonymous users have permission to access and post comments but when they try to post comments on a forum topic, their comments vanish without getting posted. It happens when "post comments without approval" is checked and when it isn't. I, as an administrator, can post comments just fine. Comment settings on the forum topic are set to read/write, as are default comment settings for the node type. What am I missing?

I've upgraded to 6.10 and I'm still having this problem. I can see the comments in phpMyAdmin but they aren't published on the site. Can anyone help me get the comments that are in the database published, and fix it so that comments left in the future will be posted? Thanks!

Make sure that the comments don't require the admin approval.

Thanks so much for your reply. In permissions, I have the box checked so that anonymous users can post comments without approval, and nothing show sup in the approval queue. Is there another place where requirement for admin approval could be blocking the comments?

Which theme you are using.? Try to switch the theme and see if you get comments over there. If you are still not getting then i will look for other possible solution for you. I am just try to narrow down the source of the problem.

Thanks for the idea. I'm using austere as the default right now. Switched from Tapestry about a week ago. On your suggestion, I tried all of the core themes and they didn't show the comments either.

Last night I looked at the database for my other drupal site and saw that there was a difference in the comments table. In my other site, the collation was set to uft8_general_ci and in my site where the comments are stuck it was set to latin_swedish_ci. So I changed the site that's not working correctly to look like the site that is, but I have no idea what any of this means. It didn't seem to affect anything.

Ok so its a generic problem and not theme related. Now do me a favor and go to admin/content/comment/approval and see if you have any comment in queue waiting for admin approval...

I'm having the EXACT same problem and have been trying to fix it for a couple days now?? it is so so wierd.

Also showing in phpmyadmin fine, just not on site.
Admin comments show up fine.
Anonymous users... no comment.

We have been trying to get a fix for it here http://drupal.org/node/436220#comment-1575552

If we can find a solution to this it'd be great, as I am pretty close to moving to Wordpress or something else.

Much help would be appreciated!
