I moved to Bluehost in the middle of April (right around the 15th) and comments were still working fine until the 29th. I had NOT upgraded to 2.5.1 at that time, but I tried that to see if it would fix the problem. It didn't, but I really think it was just me being lazy and the wp-db needed to be changed because sometimes the DB connections can get a little off with a new host for some reason. The new wp-db adds code to check if the script interacting with the DB failed and if so, it re-establishes a connection. Pretty brilliant and I'm not sure why it's not in the wp code by default.I have no idea why things were working sometimes and not others. Very frustrating. Updating the wp-db fixed it so half the time it was working and then reverting back to the orginal comment scripting fixed it so it worked all the time. Could've just been bad connections.Good to hear you haven't had any problems with the extra scripting with 2.5. I'm going to try implementing it again this weekend. I just wanted to give everything a little bit of time so I could make sure it's working. Vivien,

Good to hear you haven’t had any problems with the extra scripting with 2.5. I’m going to try implementing it again this weekend. I just wanted to give everything a little bit of time so I could make sure it’s working.

Congratulations! I did think about the changes you did in WP-comments file following my code on fighting spam without captcha, but then I ignored that thought because your changes in the comment file after the upgrade were working fine until you've moved to the new host, or am I wrong there?Anyhow, what was the exact issue with the code and wp-comments file? Why was the commenting working for some and not the others?Why I'm asking is because I too had to update my wp-comments.php after upgrading iBit to WP 2.5, and haven't had any problems with the comments on my site. huh, I’m very glad everything is back to normal now, Lauren.
