[MT-users] Solving the blank comment submission problem

[Paul Makepeace]

Some folks have noticed their blog returns a blank page after a
comment submission. I got no response from Six Apart on this but have
figured it out just now. The problem seems to be during migration the
Comment Pending Template that doesn't exist in 2.66 wasn't created for
the 3.33 version.

The solution is easy and goes thus: Log in to your account, click
"Templates", then "System" tab, then "Comment Pending Template".
Likely you'll see a blank textarea. I've attached a sample template
you can paste in there.

As a side issue, others have noticed their stylesheets are off - the
MT 3.33 expects a richer set of stylesheets in styles-site.css (which
itself expected to reside in the blog's root dir). I've also attached
a sample that Six Apart provides. This was presumably designed for
different templates than what were shipped with 2.66 but it doesn't
look wildly off.

Of course, it's up to you to tailor this for your site. One thing you
might want to do is adjust the body margin parameters right at the top
as it's banged right up against the left edge.
