I'm having trouble with the b2 given to me by my web host. When clicking on the comments to pop-up the comments window, that window contains a separate "page" for each of the blog entries I've written.

For example, clicking on the comments for my last entry gives me the whole list of comments for that entry, then the place to add a new comment, then it all starts all over again with the list of comments for the entry before that, and another place to add new comments, etc.

I'm looking for a b2commentspopup.php that doesn't recurse like that, or how to modify my this one to work without recursing. Just one that puts up the comments for that ONE post, and a place to make a new comment.

attached is my current b2commentspopup.php, which I don't believe I've edited from the install:

<?php /* Don't remove this line, it calls the b2 function files ! */
$blog=1; include ("blog.header.php"); while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) { start_b2();

Look, I tried to find where the problem is but I have no idea...here's an untouched b2commentspopup.php:

Unfortunately, they seem to to be the same (or perform the same, at least). Anyone else got an idea?

Reading through the code, I notice that the very first PHP line is a while loop testing ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)). Where did it get $result set in the first place? Where does this use the argument that says "Here's the id of the post I want to comment on?"

Seems like some magic going on at first here.
