Your authorization might be failing if Safe Mode is turned on on your
server. If that's the case (as it was for me) you can remove the
authorization code from the comments and resave the file as something
else (like commentsadmin.php) store that file in a seperate directory
that you can protect via .htaccess or whatever method you want. then
point your admin link to that file. Hopefully that's clear. That's
what I did and though I'm still tweaking things, it seems to work just
fine.

Submitting the comment form results in a refresh of the comments
window -- I get no comment added, no "comment status" messages,
nothing. Also, the cookie doesn't seem to be "sticking," since I have
to retype my info every time the window opens.

comments.php. (When I set the $admin variable to "true," I can see
the ban/delete links just fine, but I'm prompted for a username and
password when I click on one, and, of course, the username and
password I enter are rejected.)

it's doing the same thing. I've double-checked my form code to make
sure I didn't leave anything out versus your version of the form, and
the only variables I omitted from the top of the script are the style
variables (since all my styles are done through classes on a
stylesheet anyway).
