There are some known issues with this plugin that might cause your blog to mal-function, depending on your theme and wordpress version. If this occurs, disable the plugin and please inform me. Thanks!
Plugin does not work with IE6, and has been verified under Windows 98 by myself and Win2k3 by my several of my readers.
Works fine with my Firefox, but most of my users aren’t geeks and are using whatever browser’s on their desktop.
Using WP 1.5.1.3 currently.
Sorry, have a 3 week old daughter and I’m not getting much sleep.
The problem seems to be that the Submit and Preview buttons aren’t showing up for the IE6 folks.
Thank you for the plugin! My wife’s website now features your commentPreview features. She is using Firefox on her PC, I’m using Safari on my Mac. I note that the buttons don’t quite line up nicely on my browser. Perhaps a couple bits of code to help Apple Safari users would be nice. There are a lot of us Apple users out there, even though we’re only 7% of the computer world.
i just wanted to test this before i do it
just trying before i buy…hehe

Just installed comment preview in my WP1.5.2 blog. It’s not working. On my comments page I get:
I also does not appear in Options in the Admin screen.
And lastly it is not working on this blog of yours either. I’m using Firefox 1.0.6. Could that be a problem?
works fine…but if and only if the text you want to preview is one line long! if it’s two lines or more you’ll see the preview butoon but the comment part becomes empty and you’ll see only the comment button. i think i’m using wordpress 1.5. is that why?
it’s funny you’re giving away the preview plugin but not using it yourself on this site!
lets see how this works

Please solicit help for beta testing before releases. Thanks

Awesome plugin, thanks!
I installed it into WordPress and the quicktags work but the preview does not work. There is a preview button, but if I click on it, it displays a blank message by “anonymous.” What did I do wrong?
Well, it sounds nice, but I guess the WordPress version compatibility doesn’t include 2.0? I am using WP 2.0.3, installed the plugin and nothing shows up, although it makes the text area in the form unusually wide (just like this one here), which doesn’t work with my theme because it then overlaps one of my columns. I tested the form anyway and after I hit the submit button I see the “working” animated icon but nothing ever happens. I have (among others) the Subscribe to Comments plugin installed, I wonder if that is affecting things.
I’m here to test the plugin but I have the same problem as Nyomi above. I use WP 2.05. Does it works with this version? Thank you.
Forever WP

[...] WP-CommentPreview : j’aimerais bien arriver à l’installer correctement et à ce qu’il marche… Ce plugin devrait nous autoriser à insérer des “html tags” utilisant “Quicktags” et d’avoir un apperçu des commentaires avant de les poster. Mais je l’ai installé et ne me suis pas encore penchée très sérieusement sur la manière de le faire fonctionner… et dans cette catégorie des preview de commentaires, je n’ai malheureusement pas encore trouvé de challenger qui fonctionne directement sans complications… [...]

Hi, first: thanks, it’s a very useful plugin.
I’ve installed the plugin and it runs so good, but i have got a problem; I think it could be a bug. If I use tag to strike text, the preview crashs. Text is previewed fine, but then the toolbar with quicktags does not appear and the textarea is clean.
It is under Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.12 and 2.0.0.6, Wordpress 2.3.3 and Ubuntu. I’ve not tested in other browsers.
I translated plugin into Spanish, and thought that I wrote something wrong, so I also tested with the original plugin.
¡Thanks!
