I’ve had other commenting problems (1, 2) in the past which have been traced to my spam-blocker, WP-Gatekeeper. I haven’t spent any effort on the current problem, I’m just assuming that gatekeeper is at fault, so I disabled this plugin and installed Spam Karma 2 since Nicholas seems to be getting good results with it. I’m not sure what Joseph is using nowadays, but gatekeeper may be doing the trick for him–I found out a few days ago that he hand-rolled his crisp minimalist theme, and perhaps gatekeeper plays well with such a setup.

I'm going to go check out Spam Karma, but for tonight I will leave my spam defenses down. I've noticed several problems with Safari in the past. I pretty much stick with Firefox (and Camino to a lesser extent) because of it. I'm not enough of a web guru to know if the fault is Safari's or WordPress's or something in between.

No error message or anything -- just the original page. I do have one clue (and I meant to bring this up Wednesday, actually, but forgot): when I looked at one of your posts on a Windows machine a few days ago, I noticed a question in the comments form that was presumably put there by your spam blocker (something about a flower that rhymes with 'nose,' I think). That question never displayed on my PowerBook, looking at your page in Safari. So I'm guessing that when I submitted my comment without the answer to the security question, your spam blocker ignored it. What I don't know, however, is why the question didn't display on my PowerBook. Might be some sort of JavaScript/DOM issue. Out of curiosity, which spam blocker are you using? I've been using <a href="http://unknowngenius.com/blog/wordpress/spam-karma/">Spam Karma 2</a> and have had excellent results from it.

I was trying to bookmark using the Select button--I assumed it would just be another screen that you cycled through, like the rating. It never crossed my mind that Pause would set a bookmark. Sorry about the comment problem, I'll have to look into that. Can you tell me what sort of trouble you were having? I'm guessing this might have something to do with my spam blocker, so as a first step I'll turn that off. Jim Hey Nicholas,
