In the middle of last week I upgraded this site to Movable Type 5. And at (I assume) the same time comments stopped working.
It seems that it was some incompatibility between the MT5 Javascript that drives the comment system and the old MT4 templates that I was using. I've now rebuilt the site using MT5 templates and everything seems to be working.
Sorry for the inconvenience. If you've tried to leave a comment recently and just got a never-ending spinner then I hope you'll try again now.
And a tip to people upgrading to MT5 - rebuild your templates.
Update: Looks like I spoke too soon. Commenting is still completely broken. I'm looking into it. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Update 2: Ok, that seems to be fixed now. It was a corrupt database table. Should work ok now. Feel free to comment away.
