I am still trying to work on a solution for this. I am weary of the
problem by now. I have checked the first section of code and re-placed
it twice. I have checked the bit of code in the <head of the document.
I have checked the script that opens the comment window. I don't know
enough about PHP to know if that file has an error.
I am at a loss. If I manage to find the solution I will document it
here (and keep the information for future problems people have since
it is common).
The count used to work. The comments post - the only thing not working
is the count. ANY help or suggestions is appreciated - many people are
stuck on 0 waiting for assistance.
Thank you.
