Comments are back.
We’re still working out a few bugs in the new site, but commenting is now back up and functioning. There may still be some hiccups, which we are trying to resolve. Thank you for your patience!

March 15th, 2008 at 3:03 pmWahoo, now can I add I would like to see bush's on fire..."Great ball's of fire" like the old Jerry Lee Lewis song...And forget the goodness and gracious part, he has neither...Blessings
March 15th, 2008 at 3:07 pmYou're doing great, TP. Much better than I thought it would be at this point. :)
Can we get commenters names in bold?

You may have tried this, but, try logging out (make sure you have your password) then removing the pertinent cookies. Then log back in. It just might help.
March 15th, 2008 at 3:20 pmThank goodness, TP. Now I can be involved during NCAA commercials.
March 15th, 2008 at 3:33 pmcan you see me now?
March 15th, 2008 at 3:40 pmYou haven't fixed it. Every time I try to post (after not posting for a long time) it says "slow down, you're posting too fast" then it takes me back to where I was before except that it lost the message I typed. So I got smart and started copying the message before posting. I found that if I got the "too fast" message then went right back and posted again, it works.
So, TP, you still have a ways to go to get this working right.
Besides, I'm going to be really pissed if you stop us from posting two comments in a row. The WP does that and it really annoys me.
March 15th, 2008 at 3:53 pmThanks for the "copy" and re-post tip, Bilbo.
March 15th, 2008 at 4:34 pmEvery time TP makes changes to the site, it takes at least a few days to fix it. This new look is ok, but it seems like a waste of space to have 1/3 of the page in dark gray.
March 15th, 2008 at 4:35 pmTesting the formatting buttons to see if they work. I think they do!
March 15th, 2008 at 4:42 pmI agree marie...Maybe if they made the text size just a little bigger, changed the back ground color and forgive me for saying this moved a little to the right it would be better...Blessings
March 15th, 2008 at 4:46 pm.
WTF???
I need to slow down my first post? I'm posting too fast?
.
March 15th, 2008 at 5:14 pmWill there be an imbedded stink-bomb function where we can send trolls rotten egg comments?
March 15th, 2008 at 5:25 pmHa ha, Witch1
moving a "little to the right" (perish the thought!!)
Your posts always make me a smile.

March 15th, 2008 at 5:35 pmOoooo.... I LIKE it!
March 15th, 2008 at 5:36 pmwoo hoo!
actually, i've been outside and elsewhere, so didn't know it was down...
i spent my morning time reading yesterday's "welcome to the NEW thinkprogress" comments... realized that most of my comments and opinions were covered there... but i used the FAST thread to do my b!tchin'... sorry...
now that the "formatting buttons" are in place (!!!), the only thing that really bothers me is the top banner... it really does nothing for anything... i can understand the lack of color - so as not to clash/compete with the color coded topics, i presume...
but i think a single image would be best... just the flag, fading into nothing... not sure what that other image is, a fast moving train i'm guessing, but it's just irrelavent and even annoying, 'cause, what is it, and WHY???
about the color, or lack of - maybe just stick with the shades of gray...
that sepia just doesn't look good...
now i'll read what others have to say...
oh - the name and time at top of each thread is way too small...
ugh... wordpress troubles... keep trying...
March 15th, 2008 at 5:44 pma ha! if you "submit" again, right away, it works...
disregard the "posting too fast" message... go back, and submit again...
well, i'll see...
March 15th, 2008 at 5:46 pmYou're doing great, TP. Keep up the good work.
Don't forget that Sorting by Top Rated does not work, and the little "Most..." Dashboard in the uper right doesn't work correctly. Most Commented shows nothing, for any time frame, and Most Linked shows the same story for all three windows.
They're little things, I know, but why have the feature if it won't work right. You know? Good idea, too. You could even have a list of Most Recommended Comments, too.
March 15th, 2008 at 5:57 pmkaty, that little trick just worked for me. I got the Slow Down message (my first post today), so I hit Refresh and the page loaded and my comment was there. But "Refresh" should be the first thing you try.
March 15th, 2008 at 5:58 pmtestHeh.
March 16th, 2008 at 1:01 amThe "slow down message" Bug is alive and still eating comments. A fix is needed!
OT: Check out Jerome a Paris diary : The financial crash has a simple cause and a simple solution .

I think he hits the nail on the head, with regards to the Problem and the Solution.
March 16th, 2008 at 7:58 amI just got a posting too quickly error on the Perino item. Not fixed.
March 16th, 2008 at 11:13 ama ha! if you “submit” again, right away, it works…
disregard the “posting too fast” message… go back, and submit again…
well, i’ll see…
Problem is, when I go back my post is gone. I hate having to remember to copy the post before hitting the submit button.

March 16th, 2008 at 12:02 pmTP - where did you hire your programmers? Perhaps you can hire one of the competent programmers who are out of a job because it went to India to solve the myriad of problems you are having with this update.
Posting here is beyond frustrating.
Also, the refresh solution didn't work for me. My post was gone when I got back and didn't post at all.
March 16th, 2008 at 12:13 pmThat time it took three visits to the "you are posting too quickly" page to get my post to go through.
I do have a question TP. Are you going to enforce some time limit on how long it takes between posts? The Washington Post does that and I find it very frustrating. I am a quick thinker and a quick typer. I hate to sit there and wait the requisite number of minutes (I'm still not sure what it is) to have a post go through.
March 16th, 2008 at 12:15 pmUGGH!
Will I be told I am filing too fast?
Let's see.
