It only took me 7 weeks, but today I think I finally got the site comments straightened out after my upgrade to Movable Tripe 3.2 fuxxored them back at the end of December. The problem with not remembering commenter data turned out to be a bug in the way that MT handles cookies. I never did figure out how to get the pop-up comment window to work correctly, so I decided to just get rid of it altogether. Clicking on the comment link now takes you directly to the individual archive entry.

I really wish I'd added up all the hours I've spent fixing the problems this upgrade created. With all the missing code in the site templates, I find it very hard to believe that this release was tested in any kind of comprehensive or organized way prior to being unleashed on unsuspecting bloggers like me.
