I'm using Fivestar Extra for comments with the "HOWTO: Hide Comments Below a Certain Rating" patch suggested in the documentation.

This has worked fine until yesterday evening, when, without changing the site, executing a cron job or even making a new post, suddenly comment previews were being hidden.

Now when I or anyone else previews a comment, we see:

(view hidden comment) Subject newby username

"Subject" is the actual subject line and "username" is the actual username. The "(view hidden comment) Subject" part is a link to "/comment/reply/#comment-".

Any idea what may be causing this or why it seemed to happen spontaneously?

What is the URL of the comment preview page on which you are seeing that error?

Any comment area here: http://tinyurl.com/phpq5d

Just start an anonymous comment and hit preview.

Try this format:

function phptemplate_comment_view($comment, $node, $links = array(), $visible = TRUE) {
  $rating_threshold = 21;
  $count_threshold = 2;
  $votes = fivestar_get_votes('comment', $comment->cid);
  if ( $votes['average']['value'] < $rating_threshold
       && $votes['count']['value'] > $count_threshold
       && arg(2) != $comment->cid
       && $comment->preview != 'Preview') {
     $visible = FALSE;
     $comment->subject = t("(view hidden comment)") . " " . $comment->subject;
  }
  return theme_comment_view($comment, $node, $links, $visible);
}

By the way, what are your values of $count_threshold and $rating_threshold?

Hm, it just started working again without me doing anything. If it happens again, I'll try your code. Thanks!
