This patch fixes this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ September 5, 2004 - 08:02 : killes@www.drop.org recategorizing to show up in the patch queue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ September 14, 2004 - 03:42 : Steven I'm not 100% sure about this patch. We don't normally cater to inaccessible forms. I suppose the comment form is a candidate, when a moderator disables commenting on a (heated?) topic while people are still typing replies. But are there more probably situations like this out there? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ September 14, 2004 - 07:37 : killes@www.drop.org As you mentioned the comment form isn't neccessarily inaccessible, the sending of the comment might become later. We should present a meaningfull message to the user in that case. I am developing a module where you can only comment for a limited amount of time, so no message is actually confusing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ September 14, 2004 - 22:03 : Dries I don't think this needs fixing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ September 14, 2004 - 22:17 : killes@www.drop.org I disagree. The user doesn't get a 403 or anything, just an empty "Post comment" page.Tha's bad usability. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ October 14, 2004 - 23:54 : drumm +1 Although it is a rare case, this is a really simple fix that might as well go in.
