April 15, 2006 at 6:16AM On Comments: Yet again, I suck
The new comments code turned out to be more trouble than it was worth. While I’m stuck using CF5 on this server (oh, to be on CF6 or CF7, and not have to put up with a server running a copy of MySQL 4.1.0 alpha: yes, alpha). It appears to be intent on mangling my headers no matter what I force it to do. CF7, which I have on my laptop, doesn’t do this.
So, I’ve removed any header mangling or anything else that could break on CF5. That should also mean I’ll start getting comment notifications again. Many apologies.
Our lesson for the day: if you have something working and testing on your development machine, don’t forget to test it again in a live environment.
