Progress

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.

Bernard Paquesfrom nearby-an-airport Associate, 8408 posts	on Feb. 16 2008 Is this related to one specific version of IE?
Anstey Stephan 305 posts	on Feb. 17 2008 IE Version 6.0 (.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254 update version SP2) whatever that all means! And Windows XP one member responded with this version, if i get more answers, i'll let you know

Anstey Stephan 305 posts	on Feb. 19 2008 AnsteyER: Hi Stephan, I've been surfing the site most of the weekend, and I noticed that it is indeed much faster. 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 Paquesfrom nearby-an-airport Associate, 8408 posts	on Feb. 19 2008 Ok Stephan, the issue description is clear, now we have to analyze the issue, meaning we have to reproduce it first.
Bernard Paquesfrom nearby-an-airport Associate, 8408 posts	on Apr. 10 2008 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.
