I noticed a problem:

When I reply to a comment, preview it first, then save, no comment is posted. I just get taken back to a page where I just see the original comment and the reply form. Does this make sense?

Is anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas?

Thanks,
Andrey.

I get the same issue, I would really like to know a fix or know if maybe a modual is doing this. I am using the captcha modual wit the captcha pack.

I have no captcha module installed, so it's not captcha related.

any developmental moduals? I think it may be views, or panels that might be doing it. Since Im not using them Ill Delete them and get back to you.

Its not panels or views

Just to update, it only happens when replying. If you post a new post and preview it works just fine.

Yep, same for me.

Any thing new?

There's this new bakery in town... :)

... but as far as this issue, I haven't looked much more into it. It's still a problem, but I'm focusing on other things at the moment.

Does it actually work for anyone or is it just a few who are having problems? Any workarounds?

Best,
Andrey.

I'm having the identical problem. Although, I can hit my back button on browser and the content is still available as originally typed. If I save it rather than preview, it works fine. But pity for the poor soul who types a large message, previews it, and then tries to save only to find out their message is gone...unless they think to go back to the original message with their browser.

I suppose this does tell us the data is still in cache, but clicking on "preview" is taking it out of the actual comment field.

When I posted this comment on drupal, I clicked on preview and the message was up top for previewing and it was also in the comment field at the bottom, available for editing.

Maybe this will help assuming you have fckeditor on your site (and who doesn't ....) http://drupal.org/node/336041

It seems to be normal behavior that one can only preview a reply to message on the first draft. Once one has previewed the message, there should be a save button at the bottom of the page.

I'd like to know how to skip this step and jump directly to save, without first having to preview. Two users, both last night, thought they posted comments in my forum, but didn't. I suspect, that they hit preview and then never saved their comments.

A super simple solution would be to use some CSS to hide the preview button (assuming you are willing to sacrifice that functionality)

#comment-form #edit-preview {
display: none;
}
