Got Link where we can see this issue? Or maybe you can give us your version and skin name and a crisp definition of exactly what you've done with your installation and skin (without pasting entire files - please), and exactly what the problem is including where the symptoms do and don't show up. Much easier for you to say "check out this link and see where blah blah blah happens" eh? As a general rule, the people here who will probably answer already know most of what's going on. Seeing your blog in action (or in failure) is *incredibly* helpful.

I've got the same problem,
look [url=http://pyogazel.free.fr/index.php?blog=2&skin=coeurs&title=spammm&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1#comments]here[/url] !

I use b2evo v 0.9.1 and just installed an image capture I found [url=http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=2976&highlight=comments+date]here[/url] but otherwise didn't alter the _feedback.php file...

here it is anyway :

oh! forgot to tell about the roundbox div thingy : it's a trick to have rounded corners for boxes, I think it looks cute
found it here :
http://www.redmelon.net/tstme/4corners/ but the link doesn't work anymore, so tyr this : http://www.neuroticweb.com/recursos/css-rounded-box/

Erm,

For some reason it's stacking the comments when:

1. They get to a certain length, they get placed randomly (or on top)

2. When there are more than 10 comments of 1 line..

So when the comments page gets to a certain length, it seems as if any new comments get placed on top, or just randomly.

For anyone who is asking - go to my site to check it out, ive started an entry called "test comment" - go ahead and comment if you wish.

http://www.kevin-foster.net/blog/

or permalink
http://www.kevin-foster.net/blog/index.php/2006/08/25/test_comment

Thanks...

EDIT: Ive narrowed it down to this:
- the number of lines is affecting the comment order
- the users name is affecting the comment order.

I am having the same problem. hope to see a solution on this board soon. Thanks for bringing this up.

That really doesn't help anyone or anything eh? Think about it when you ask for help here, please. http://www.kevin-foster.net/blog/index.php?skin=originalb2 showed me what version you're running - and your "powered by whatever" button. Another example of how not to get free help from these forums, but here's your answer anyway: You should (a) upgrade because 0.9.0.10 is extremely old and then (b) test this issue with an unhacked installation and clean copy of the custom skin. http://b2evolution.net/news/2006/08/17/b2evolution_1_8_1_milestone_released_tra shows many comments that appear to be in order based on the time stamp. They run the latest version from CVS, but in general I'll guess that it's something you did that made your comments go haywire like that.

In any case, I give b2 evo props on the link bar. Is it avisable to have a button image instead?

Any powerdby text/button/image whatever is ok, as long as it is there and clear.

I'm having the same problem. Both the last comments function as well as the comments section in general. Comments that are being made are getting posted out of order.

If you want to take a look at the site it's - www.tigerdirectsucks.org

Any resolution would be appreciated.

knetf don't worry about the *exact* nature of a linkback. I saw that you have it in your sidebar (though for the record you don't need the www in your link). My problem was with the tweaked line of the generator. Those of us who are hip to b2evolution look there to see what the help someone needs should be tailored to is the thing. After that I was like "okay so now I have to guess at the skins that always get included".

pyogazel your _feedback.php file is NOT stock!!! You've included the hack for smilies in comments, so, well, it's not stock is all I mean. Problems are not always easy to troubleshoot so - trust me - it really does help to have a completely stock custom skin to see if the problem is in a skin or in the core code. BTW I'm not on the dev team. I'm just a forum junkie...

Back on track:

tigerdirectsucks's is basically the custom skin. Maybe exactly? There are a few validation errors but I think they're from comments made with links the validator doesn't like. Anyway even though b2evolution's site seems to handle them properly it's obvious it's not working for users out there.

QUESTION FOR THOSE WHO HAVE THIS ISSUE: Is it possible that you are seeing posts in the order you've approved them out of moderation? I'm not on the dev team and barely understand the new way of b2evolution, but the question seems fair enough to ask.

I was having this problem with 0.8 or whatever version is packaged with cpanel. I recently upgraded to the latest version in hopes that it would sove the problem, but it appears to be the same. Prior to just recently, I was not approving comments. I was simply letting them get posted, so there was no ordering based on when I first saw them. Hope that helps.
