I am new and have had my site running for about three weeks. I have advanced forum running and required previewing before posting. Today, I installed the CAPTCHA Module and set up a challenge on a forum form. However, I have now lost the preview "Reply to comment" page. When you click the preview button, it returns you to the form "Reply to comment" but no preview of your post just the form with your input data in the fields. Therefore, you never get to preview and you never get to save.

I then turned off the CAPTCHA Module but still the preview page is gone. So, I turned off requiring perview and with that configuration, I get the save button and the preview button, but all you can do is save, as clicking the preview button returns you to the form as mentioned above. I seem to have permanently lost the preview of the "Reply to comment" page. I can use preview and then save other content like blogs or Create Forum topic, just not on the "Reply to comment" page.

I am not so experienced to know if the CAPTCHA did something or if I have some conflicting settings, and it is just a coincidence that it happened concurrent with installing and configuing the CAPTCHA module.

PHP Version 5.2.10
apache/2.2.0 (Fedora)

Any insight appreciated

Title: Installed Captcha and lost Preview on "Reply to comment" Page » Lost Preview on "Reply to comment" Page (after installing CAPTCHA module)
Project: CAPTCHA » Advanced Forum
Version: 6.x-2.0 » 6.x-2.x-dev
Category: bug » support

It is unlikely that CAPTCHA causes this, it only adds something to the form, it does not interfere with previewing (e.g. as CAPTCHA maintainer, I test CAPTCHA all the time with comment previewing).
Moreover, if you disable CAPTCHA and still have no preview, it's probably not CAPTCHA's fault.

I think it's better to put this issue in Advanced Forum's issue queue.

(Edit): Also mention your version of Drupal (and if you updated it recently), because (if I remember correctly) previewing was broken in some release of Drupal 6.x.

Version: 6.x-2.x-dev » 6.x-1.1

I am using Drupal 6.14 which was installed by Fantastico 15 days ago and worked fine with Advanced Forum until yesterday when I installed the CAPTCHA module and then put a challenge on the reply to forum topic comment page. After that, as explained in my first post, I have lost the ability to preview a post.

the url goes from "comment/reply/6#comment-form" to "comment/reply/6" but there is no Preview comment section above the Reply to comment title text.

Preview does work on the blog which is the only other content area I have up and running at this time as I am only now beginning to learn how to manage Drupal.

I see that I can also preview the Create Forum topic and that it goes from node/add/forum TO node/add/forum with the preview section above the Subject input field.

So, I guess that comparing these two results [comment/reply/6#comment-form" to "comment/reply/6"] and [node/add/forum TO node/add/forum] that possibly the first example should go from "comment/reply/6#comment-form" to "comment/reply/6#comment-form" with a preview pane above the form?????

Anyone know what I am doing wrong here?

Hoping it would help, I upgraded to 6.15 this evening and copied over the following modules:

advanced_forum-6.x-1.1
author_pane-6.x-1.1
comment_upload-6.x-1.0-alpha5
flatcomments-6.x-2.0

But I still have no preview pane as described in my posts above.

I have the same problem with comment preview missing in forums only! Exept i don't have capcha and comment preview was broke right after installing Advanced Forum module. After clicking preview the page reloads and when viewing page source title says Edit comment instead of Preview comment as on other content types

My setup
Drupal 6.15
MySQL database 5.0.85
PHP 5.2.11
PHP memory limit 32M
PHP register globals Disabled
Web server Apache/2.2.14

same modules as Johnv
and theme Genesis Darkmatter 6.x-1.2 + a custom style for advanced_forum

I have the same issue. I can confirm that it does not seem to be related to CAPTCHA.

I can reply when logged in as administrator. But when logged in as a user the reply function disapears. I would think it then had to do with some permissions. But I believe I have checked all the needed user permissions but it wont help.

To be more acurate, there IS a reply button but it is not working. But I can use the "Add new comment" link instead and get to the reply form. BUT there is no preview/save button so I cant publish the reply anyway. Again, all this is only when logged in as user. No problem as admin.

Running 6.14. on a Acguia Marina theme. I have not the themesettings installed as mentioned in another thread..

I tryed the different AF versions out, installing and uninstalling, flushing, updating and so forth the proper way. But still no result.

A comment to my own #5 above:

I have been testing and tetsing and I have to conclude that the reply-issue is not related to AF in my case. The problem persists if I uninstall AF. And I keep getting the message that I have to be member of the group to reply even if I AM a member of teh group. So I think a have to look for a solution in another way.

BUT another issue regarding OG occured which I will post as a new issue: http://drupal.org/node/673246

I was told by a friend this is a bug in drupal 6.14 but if thats the case it hasn't been fixed in 6.15. I failed to find any topics on the matter so the information might be incorrect.

Edit: In my case what caused the problems was the comment upload module!

Sounds like it's been decided this isn't AF related.
