Can't fix comment error message

I’ve finally gotten this thing (http://duhspot.net/rumblings/) to where I want it, but I only have one more thing to fix. There’s a strange “General error…” message that pops up when you are posting a comment. I’ve tested it and you can post the comment but this error message is there and it unnerves me a bit. How do I get rid of it, what do I need to do, what do I need to correct, why is it doing that?

Here’s what I’m getting: http://www.duhspot.net/test.jpg

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Can't fix comment error message

These are the plugins:

rss_suparchive Rob Sable 0.18
upm_date_archive Mary Fredborg 0.2.5
zem_contact_lang TXP Community 4.0.3.6
zem_contact_reborn TXP Community 4.0.3.19

and I do believe I have the most updated version of Textpattern installed.

Re: Can't fix comment error message

That’s sound really wonderful if I had the coding skill that god gave a head of cabbage. Unfortunately, my troubleshooting efforts consist of cutting, pasting, trial and error. Debugging in any meaningful way is beyond me at this point. I think the most I did was look at the source code, but then I realized that I couldn’t modify it.

I might do some fiddling with the bits and see if I can’t screw it up even more than it is….

running Diagnostics is easy. you do it from the CP under Admin / Diagnostics tab

OK, this is a popup comment which has its own page scaffolding.

Have a look in the admin-side for Presentation -> Forms and you’ll find something called popup_comments or thereabouts. Copy and paste whatever is in that form into a text editor and whizz down to line 440. What does it say?

Re: Can't fix comment error message

I wouldn’t recommend using popup_comments either, it’s pretty much an obsolete web design pattern nowadays – better to use an in-page comment layout IMHO.

Re: Can't fix comment error message

The comments section wasn’t even on my radar. Kind of assumed that I didn’t use a pop up dealio. Also, did the cut and paste thing and there isn’t a line 40. I’m going to try to fix this not to use the pop up.
