’)I’m not seeing the disappearing comment issues others are occasionally seeing, but a way around it seems to be logging in to the site versus just posting a comment.

Very well. I’ll give it a try.
I had been avoiding the registration hassle since your last makeover. Not that it takes all that much time.

Well.
That was unintended.
Where does one find their WP login info?
The problem I keep seeing is this: Sometimes, there are no apostrophes, just a bunch of wierd symbols where the apostrophes should be. It looks almost like cartoon cursing. It’s not every time, but most of the time.
I don’t think it’s my computer, because it only happens here, not on other sites.
OW, there’s some sort of weirdness going on with character encoding. It looks like we’re getting crossed up between ISO and UTF encoding somewhere.
Maybe this is relevant?

Some time back my name/mail info stopped being retained and I had to re-type it for each comment I’d post. Didn’t think anything had changed on my end, Oliver said nothing had changed on his. Chalk it up to Internet oddities.
Now, as of about a week or so ago (?), name/mail are being retained. Oliver’s site is always full of such interesting surprises…
Work’s fine on the new Safari.
As long as we’re talking about that administration stuff, how do I set up a user icon?

It will walk you through it.
Hm… Test?
There it is!
But what is it? The side of a skull?
Hehe, it’s a picture of my old ‘57 Chevy… I need to find something more iconic.

Same here. Both on my work Mac and home PC. Both on Firefox.
I call that an IDTS event*.
*It Does That Sometimes.
I keep getting something where, it just stops a comment after the first sentence or two. It looks fine in preview but disappears when posting. Originally though I was leaving a tag open or something like that. Nope. Just being disappeared.
SFC, it’s happening on text that’s copied from another comment, correct? And the cut comes where there should be an apostrophe or quote mark?
If I post something longer than a sentence, I’ve taken to copying it before posting so I can paste it if need be. I suppose logging in would save the step…
Yes it is. That’s exactly where it’s coming from.
When I look at the apostrophes in the comments, they appear as slanted apostrophes. After I cut and paste them, if I retype the apostrophes and quote marks as straight-up-and-down characters, there’s no problem. It’s something to do with character encoding, but that’s only my guess.

Is it an IE7 thing?
Has anyone had this problem who is NOT using IE7?
I’m using IE6.
I’ve had no problems posting comments, either.
I almost feel like I should apologize for that, however…
J.
Aha! Now when I return to IE7, I see the pasted text, but the apostrophes are replaced with a string of odd characters: an a with a mark above it, a euro sign, a trademark superscript.
Mr. Tea, what browser are you using?
Sorry, Quaker — I said it first, but then edited it out for poor phrasing and forgot to put the reference back in. Firefox 3, on Windows XP SP2.
I avoid IE as much as possible.

Testing with new settings in IE7:
It’s something to do with character encoding, but that’s only my guess.

New settings in IE7?!?
So I did something on my end with quotes and comments, and that might fix things. Let me know (should work on posts after 5:40pm est today).

One more test?
I changed the default web page font in IE7 to Arial Unicode. That seems to have fixed the problem for me.
I did this by going to Tools/Internet Options and choosing the Fonts button. In the window on the left, I changed the default webpage font to Arial Unicode MS, then clicked OK.
I closed and restarted IE7. Seems to be OK now.
Hm, I updated my icon on gravatar but it’s not updating here. Maybe it takes a couple of hours for the changes to seed throughout the internet orchard.
Yeah that seems to be a bug from Gravatar. I tried to change mine months ago and its not “taking”.
Heh, guess I’m stuck with my snowy ‘57 for a while.

Well, it’s about time you did.
I keed, I keed!

I haven’t seen a ‘57 from you at all. Some guy with a beard and Mila Jovovich’s hair.
Oh wait, it updated finally. I deleted the other image from gravatar completely and then gave it a day.
He’s a little daruma, hehe.
