Topic: [Bug/Needs Info] The comments system appears to be broken.

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

Bug overview description: I am not able to leave comments on posts.
What part(s) of the site page(s) are affected?: https://e621.net/comment and https://e621.net/post/show/* of most videos, and even some normal posts.
What is the expected behavior?: To be able to leave a comment on posts like everyone can.
What actual behavior is given instead?: I am not able to see a respond box under posts like I usually can, and clicking "respond" appears to do nothing.
Time of incident (if applicable): Not applicable, as this appears to be an ongoing issue.
Can you reproduce the bug every time?: Yes
What steps did you take to replicate this bug?: I have tried using Waterfox in Safe Mode (no browser extensions mode), and Microsoft Edge. I have tried restarting both browsers repeatedly to see if this results in anything, but it does not.
Errors or other messages returned (if any): No errors or other messages returned.

I just tried it on your avatar seems to work for me.

Oh, I got a 404 when I clicked on your second link, weird.

Yeah, I've been having issues too. I am unable to do things like preview comments, it flat out doesn't respond when I hit the preview button.

Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

I'm not currently able to reproduce this. Is there any more information you can give me about it, such as errors in the browser console, etc.

Seems my error with previewing comments and the like has ended, so I'm good for now. Perhaps it was just some weird temporary issue.

Or at least just for me, anyways.

The comment box moved to the bottom of the page as opposed to the top, and I had not been aware of this change. The "respond" button does not snap the page to the bottom, but does indeed fill the box with a quoted message.
