 * I’ve just managed to get 1.5 up and running. I had quite a few customisations
   from earlier versions, so I had to hack comments.php quite a bit to fit in with
   the new template tags before I could get comments to show at all. Now previous
   comments are showing fine, and the form appears, but when I hit submit, wp-comments-
   post loads but is completely blank. It doesn’t redirect, and has stopped loading,
   so nothing seems to be going on. When I go and look in the admin interface, my
   comment wasn’t added.
 * In options it is set so that anyone can post a comment, but they must leave a
   name and email. Does anyone know what might be going on? I’ve deleted and re-
   uploaded the file in case it got munged during transfer, but that didn’t work.
 * Thanks!

 * Does this work with the un-hacked files?

 * macmanx: I’ve just tried switching to the Kubrick theme, and the same thing happens,
   so it doesn’t look like it’s a problem with any of the .php files in the theme.
 * I had some problems earlier which seemed to be caused by the contents of .htaccess,
   but I can’t think why that might be causing trouble in this case.

 * Do you have any plugins enabled?

 * Yes.
 * amazoninfo.php
 * Auto-Close Comments v 0.1
 * Get Recent Comments v 0.8
 * Search Hilite, 1.2
 * Spam Karma, 1.18 alpha 3
 * WP Statistics
 * Stripe comments (my own hack)
 * WordPress Hashcash v 1.5
 * WP Plugin Manager
 * Bingo! I just tried de-activating them all, and commenting works – yay! Now I’ll
   try turning them back on one by one to find out which is causing the problem.
   Thanks — should have thought of that myself 😉

 * Congrats! I’d say it’s either HashCash or Spam Karma.

 * I’ve reactivated Spam Karma, and that’s working fine, so it was definitely HashCash.

 * Check your browser settings and make sure that you have javascript enabled. HashCash
   is working just fine for me, but it will display a blank page if javascript is
   disabled.
