Workaround for the grey comment button!

[fiddlingfrog]

Ever since the new default comment scheme came out last December, there have been scores of people complaining that they've been unable to comment because the button would remain greyed-out and unclickable. Unfortunately, there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to who is affected by this bug so it's been especially hard to fix

you have saved me from being unable to comment(!!!), but I can not reply to another members comment-- only make a separate one myself...

any ideas??

[fiddlingfrog]

What browser and OS do you use?

I imagine it's probably interference from some other script that you're running. Can you list any other scripts you use that affect LJ?

I'm running firefox 14.0.1 on a new imac.. the only scripts I am running are DisConnect and the Comment button I just installed.

When I reply to a comment it will show up in the right place (under the previous comment) and then jump to the bottom of the page as if it was its own comment

Try disabling DisConnect; the Facebook/Twitter checkboxes are gone from default comment pages, so it really should be updated to not be running at all on those pages.

If that doesn't work I'll look into it more when I get home tonight.
