no names in comments

[rj]

I just noticed that clicking an article as not registered I see no names attached to comments, just the #1 or #2... What's up with that? Is it just that I never noticed? Is it intended? Who can show them?
Thanx...
RJ.

Hi!

Might be your template, might be a plugin...on which URL can we see that? You might want to compare your comments.tpl to the default comments.tpl file.

I remember you guys giving me some code to add to ensure NO EMAIL would be shown in comments adn i applied it sometime back, but do not know which .tpl file.

Hi!

Did you try to replace your comment.tpl with the default comment.tpl to check if it makes a difference?

I see comment authors names on the link you provided... is that because you are testing Garvin's suggestion, or you already solved the problem?

yes I did put the old default comment.tpl file up and it solved that. But if you mouse hover over the name in a comment, then the email address is presented in the bottom status line of the browser which commenters DO NOT LIKE, AT ALL! Especially when it says NO ONE CAN SEE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS and there it is. Though there is an AT rather than a @.

I have read in SEO forums that comments are self generating when one reaches about 3000 pageviews a day, we are at 2000, so that is part of the problem, but now we have ONE commenter since all the problems... I like BLOGGER comments! hehe... I wish there was some easy way like THAT to do comments. Write the comment first and then fill out email or captcha or something after they submitt it.
Instead of a bu nch of red words saying you CANT do this and you MUST do that... Those days are over what with Facebook and Twitter where everything is so simple and easy...

You can remove the email address from your template, or you can suppress it via the spam protector plugin.
