I have not done serious testing, but I believe that preview mode now works for comments. There could well be errors (with the [x comments] comment counters, or the [x new comment] counters on the front page.) Please let me know if you think something is funky.
Also, there is a new page /settings where you can make some adjustments. More options are coming. Right now you can use /settings to manually zero all your new post/comment tracking counters. Plus you can assign a pixel dimension for all your posting boxes. Plus you can set a default behavior for converting line breaks to HTML (you can either have this default to on - checked - as it does now, or you can switch it to always default to off.) Also you can turn off or on the options of preview and pending (future) posts.
I'm sure this is confusing. Any help with the language that might make these options clearer is much appreciated. Also ideas for other settings.
ive got a hanging comment in treehouse
the settings page is blank. I can't get rid of the comment.
Now they show up, OK.
No that one was messed up. Can you say exactly how you posted it? From a box already on the comment page, or did you click 'add a comment' and posted from a page with just a posting box on it? Did you do a preview first, and then [edit] it and change it to a regular post, or did you just post it?
I see what is happening, but I don't know where it's happening.
I have both posted from the post box and add a comment box on multiple pages regarding the hanging comment and disapearing post issues, but I wasn't keeping track. However, I have not used the preview function. Hope that helps narrow things a bit.
Just another test. Sorry about all this confusion.

OK. I was experimenting with /treehouse so this may be a leftover from a problem already fixed. You can zero all your counters (including the hanging comment in treehouse) with the top option on the new /settings page. Let me know if that doesn't work or if this happens again.

Just found some more bugs. Adding preview for comments turned out to be non-trivial. Mostly this is due to all the counters. I have to make sure they don't count preview posts, but then do count them if you [edit] and turn it into a regular post. This takes place at many different locations in the code, so it's hard to get it right the first time.
Probably everybody has stranded (hanging) [new comments] on /treehouse. I believe this is an artifact from some testing, and not the result of the system as it stands right now. Please go to /settings and use the top option to get rid of that non-existent comment being reported as new on /treehouse (if you are experiencing this.) Note that this will get rid of all your [new post] and [new comment] info, so do any reading you want first.
Also keep reporting, just not about the one hanging comment on /treehouse unless you've already tried to zap it on /settings. Thanks.
