There are so many issues like this to work out when having a blog that sometimes I think it is easier to hire someone for the technical parts like this.

Thanks for working these out. I’m very new to WordPress (and CSS), though, and I don’t quite understand where the “small” tags need to go. Wherever I place them, I get a fatal error. Can you be more specific?

So I’ve managed to fix most of the bugs in the version that I downloaded. But… Issue Number 2 – Using Cancel Button, isn’t fixed.
I don’t get an annoying white box like what’s described. Instead, if a user clicks the cancel button, it takes the user to the top of the page and the comment box is completely gone. Clicking on a “reply to this comment” will result in a pop-up that says: “Error: Threaded comments can’t find the ‘addcomment’ div. THis is probably because you have changed the comments.php file. Make sure there is a tag around the form that has the id ‘addcomment’.
A temp fix is to refresh the page entirely. That’s when the comment box shows up normally.
Does anyone have an idea why this is happening?
Thanks.

Sorry forgot to put the code tags around.

Anyways his last php tag should be endif; not endiff;

@JTPratt

It’s most likely because his has an extra ‘f’ in it and should be .

If I remember correctly, I got that same error.

I have been able to sort a lot of things out…things are much better now, though the collaped box is not quite what I would’ve like…lets see perhaps I will be able to get that straight too within a couple of days.

Thanks a lot for your help again.

Hi there, thanks for these fixes you have listed above. But can you visit my blog and check what’s going wrong? The plugin isn’t working properly. I am unable to click on comment author’s links, or the edit comments link or even the expand/collapse link.

If i execute the collapseThread(..) function manually say through the address bar, the comments are collapsing and expanding but I am not able to click somehow…any help would be appreciated.

oops, this all sound too geek to me.
I am happy with my Brian’s thread, as it is.
