Hi kin,

Yes, that is exactly what I was expecting. It is this string that is used in the next line of b2 code to "re-direct" the browser.

My guess is the 'header("location: .......")' gets modified by lycos before returning it to the browser. This results is a ill-formed URL that produces the 404 error and then the page you see.

As to why this just started happing, your guess is a good as mine. Mine is they made some changes to "close" a hole they fould; that being headers with location redirect.

This is clearly an issue with your provider and I'm not sure your going to find a way around it.

Ok then i guess i will have to deal with this :/

I will put a message on the b2commentspopup.php saying that despite the 404 page reached, the comment will still be posted.
I don't like this but i have no other choice

Unless it would be possible to display a link that the user will click after submitting his comment ?

eg: Thanks for posting your comment, click here to return to the comments page

Anyway, thx again michael for your help, i really appreciate

kin,

That's not a bad idea. Replace the 'kilroy' code with the following...

[kin]

Wow i think we're finally done with this

It took some time but the result is there!!!

michael !!! many many thanks to you!!!

PS: can i change the bg color of that page (or bg image) and apply my own .css style without messing it up ? (b2comments.post.php)

Your welcome kin.

What you want to do can be done.

I think the best way to do this is to make a html type of page with the head body and sections. Then you can surround that with some php escape tags something like this:

[kin]

Okay i will try that... when Lycos is back. It's down right now... no wonder

Hi,

Well if I had a url that took me to a b2 page of some kind that I could post a comment, then maybe I could help.

i honestly don't know where my head is at these days, sorry about that:
http://members.lycos.co.uk/versatilecreations/
i have it set on my blogger, when you go to click on comment, it opens up in a popup box, which is right, and you are able to post your comment, however, when you go to post that comment, u get a 404 error message. well i had seen in b2 forum that someone else had the same problem and you had suggested in this thread: http://tidakada.com/board/viewtopic.php?p=8118#8118
to add the redirect to the b2comments.post.php , ok i did and it works as far when u go to click on the link HERE to go back to comments page, u get another 404 error...ughh i hope i explained this right... u can view my blogger and see what i am talking about, except i took out the redirect when u post and it just goes to a thank you page, as well i added a reload button in the main blogger page since it doesn't refresh and show any new comments added, i would prefer to have it redirect.

Hi,

I posted a reply in the other forum. Let's pick one forum and stay in that one. Your choice. In the mean time, show me the code you used to create the "hear" link.

Hi,

Because you said that you had followed the referenced thread, I think you may have changed 'b2commentspopup.php' in the processs.

In the code for 'b2commentspopup.php' find the line (about line 77) with:

[courtney.]
