Comment issues

Apologies all around... I got an e-mail from someone who wanted to comment and was not allowed. I tested this myself using a separate account and found the same issue.

Until I'm able to figure out why in-line comments are blowing up, I've set comments to open a pop-up window. This fixed the issue for me, but it is not a pleasant experience. I will try some other stuff, but in the meantime please bear with the pop-up windows and allowing full participation.

Also, I think anyone can comment using Name/URL without posting a URL. That would be helpful, just so I have some continuity - like Black Sheep and Speckled Sheep - I have no idea who they are and I have no ability to figure it out. I'm not going to turn off anonymous, and, unlike Wordpress and other platforms, there are no IP address or any tracking info that I have access to.

Testing comment with Name/URL and empty URL.
(This is the style I used to use for comments, just now it's in a popup.)

This is also a test.

Assuming this goes through: it's not an ideal interface, but the actual number and content of the steps seems pretty similar. I would say it's workable.
