# Comment Approval Error

 * Bare with me if this is an obvious error. I only manage the yankton4h.com website
   part time.
 * When myself and the other administrators try to approve a comment using the “
   approve” link that appears when hovering over the comment, the link changes to“
   unapprove.” However, after about 10 seconds it reverts back.
 * When we try to select the comment and use the bulk action approve, the dashboard
   displays the errors listed below. Any help would be much appreciated.
 * Thank you,
    Dennis

 * Updated information. When troubleshooting through the problem, it appears as 
   though the error is associated with users in some way. As myself and another 
   administrator can comment with no problem, but when we log out and try to comment
   as new users, the errors are generated.
 * Could someone point me towards a resource?
 * Thanks,
    Dennis

 * I think wordpress’s techs are not supporting on this issue.

 * Possibly a hosting-side issue. What version of mysql server are you using?
