But the link is still getting more clicks. I ensured the latest file for wp-comments-post.php was correctly installed in WordPress 2.3 too. I have also disabled the useful &#8220;Subscribe to Comments&#8221; wordpress plugin to check if that is conflicting in some way with my wordpress installation.<\/p>\n<p>Have you encountered such an error with your wordpress installation?
