    the idiot that i am, i did not have “Save Template Revisions” checked.
    flogging may proceed.

    here’s what i did:

    “comments” template and pages tested and working perfect.

    1. only went into “comments” template to change it to delete right column info to simplify page.
    2. pulled out “member” sign in from comment page under “left column” while retaining it in “right column”.
    3. left working non-member comment form in place.
    4. was 100% certain i touched no other code.
    5. saved template and….. blank screen now shows up. bizarre thing is when viewing page source, there is no code.


    i’ve racked my brain cell trying to diagnose.
    searched in here and can’t find what i could have done.

    help!

    here’s the blog:
    http://www.sdcc.info/ee/index.php

    i’ll email you or post template code if you are so inclined to help an idiot.

    thanks in advance!

    Hm- can you paste the contents of the comment template inside code tags?  Probably something small throwing it off.  Could also try turning on template debugging in ‘Admin- System Prefs- Output and Debug’ as that will give you some idea of what’s going on- if you view the rendered template as a logged in superadmin.

    Let’s see- first thing I spot- you’re closing an if, but I can’t see where you started it:

    {exp:comment:form preview="{my_template_group}/comment_preview"}


<h2 class="sidetitle">To Discuss as Non-Member:</h2>

*Name, or type Anonymous:

<input type="text" name="name" value="{name}" size="50" />


Email:

<input type="text" name="email" value="{email}" size="50" />


Location/Neighborhood:

<input type="text" name="location" value="{location}" size="50" />


Website you want to share:

<input type="text" name="url" value="{url}" size="50" />


{/if}

    Suspect you want an {if logged_out} in there.  See if that helps.  And we can poke more if it doesn’t.

    THANKS!!!

    at least it was more complicated than a missing carrot.

    😊

    thanks again robin…

    p.s.
    not sure what the debugging rendering should have done, but nothing came up. we’re still on 1.5.2.

    Not dead sure what it would have shown either.  But now we don’t care 😉!

    Glad it was a simple fix.  Extra eyeballs are always handy for stuff like this.  (Chants ‘Upgrade.  Upgrade,’ under her breath.)
