Comments Will Not Post

[theangelicious1]

I am having trouble getting the comments to work. The comments box pops up in a new window, like it should, and it will let you preview the post, but it won't actually post the message. Whenever I try to post, it simply previews the comment again, but it will not post it.

My website is www.asufilm.com/ and the blog is on the main page.

Here is my {{entrycommentsform}} code:
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">
</span>

<P ALIGN=CENTER><CENTER>
<B><span style="font-size:9pt;">Add A New Comment</span></B>
<P>
<FORM ACTION="{{cgiwebpath}}/gm-comments.cgi#comments" METHOD=POST>
                   <span style="font-size:8pt;"><INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="newcommententrynumber" VALUE="{{entrynumber}}">
Name
<BR>
</span>
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="newcommentauthor" SIZE=30>
<P>
                   <span style="font-size:8pt;">E-Mail (optional)
<BR>
</span>
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="newcommentemail" SIZE=30>
<P>
                   <span style="font-size:8pt;">Website (optional)
<BR>
</span>
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="newcommenthomepage" SIZE=30>
<P>
                   <span style="font-size:8pt;">Comments
<BR>
</span>
<TEXTAREA NAME="newcommentbody" COLS=35 ROWS=10 WRAP=VIRTUAL></TEXTAREA>
<P>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME="gmpostpreview" VALUE="Preview Your Comment"> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Post This Comment">
</FORM>
</CENTER>

And here is my Confirmation Form Template:
<p align="center">
A preview of your new comment is shown above as it will appear on this page.  Click "Post It" below to post it, or click the back button on your browser to re-edit it.
<br>
<form action="{{cgiwebpath}}/gm-comments.cgi" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="newcommententrynumber" value="{{entrynumber}}" />
<input type="hidden" name="newcommentauthor" value="{{previewcommentauthor}}" />
<input type="hidden" name="newcommentemail" value="{{previewcommentemail}}" />
<input type="hidden" name="newcommenthomepage" value="{{previewcommenthomepage}}" />
<input type="hidden" name="newcommentbody" value="{{previewcommentbody}}" />
<input type="submit" value="Post It" />
</form>
</p>

Any ideas?

This is an issue that I wished I could have handled better.

I am guessing your configuration says that 'force preview' is on. In the explanation of the option, it points out that you need to modify your Confirmation Form Template so that the submit button has the attribute: name="postit"


<input type="submit" name="postit" value="Post It" />


Because the template is separate from the code, it was necessary to change the templates. To make matters worse, I mistakenly thought I had updated the default templates with this vital piece, but alas, I did not. My apologies.

FYI, with that name="postit" attribute, you can change the value to be something besides "Post It".

BTW, nice site design.
