Hi. I’m using wpDiscuz on a WordPress blog, with Sigurd theme, and the comment edit option isn’t working properly for other users. It works for me, i.e., I can edit their comments, but not for anyone else. Any attempt by them to edit their own comment triggers one of the two following error messages:
“Duplicate comment detected. It looks as though you’ve already said that!”
“You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down.”
This occurs whether the interval is five minutes or ten, and regardless of whether the comment being edited resembles any earlier comment.
Any ideas?
I should perhaps add that the comment edit window is set for 30 minutes. And the ‘limit comments per user’ option is disabled.
Re above, I mean, the custom CSS code area currently reads .comments-area{width:auto;}
Do I delete that first? I'm reluctant to make changes when I've no idea what I'm doing or what the consequences may be.
Did as instructed. Cleared cached images and files (but not cookies). Then posted a comment as a guest, tried to edit the comment a minute later. Same error message as above. "You are posting comments too quickly."
Should I clear cookies too?
Ah, thanks. Will be patient. Appreciated.
Users have reported the same bug on my own website (cnx-software.com) when editing comments but with "You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down" only. Should I fill a different bug report or could it be the same issue?
