The Comment You're Replying To

Since subject threads are limited to registered members, you aren't given
the three login options when posting to them, and it still functions like
it used to before. Here is the difference in what is happening. When you
post to a subject thread, it consults the login function directly to
determine whether you can post. This function will check that you have
entered the correct password for your userid, and it will create a session
for you. But whether or not that session stays around will not affect
whether you get to post your comment to a subject thread. But when you try
to comment on a page, you are given three options, and since some of these
options require verification with an external site, you are required to
login before you post. If you sign in as a member, it does not use the
login function but instead brings you to login/cvplogin.php, where it
creates a session for you. To check whether you can post your comment, the
session it has created must be active. If you are blocking cookies, it may
be unable to tell which session is yours, because it uses a cookie to
identify your session. Make sure you can accept cookies from this site. If
you are accepting cookies from this site, and it is still not working, let
me know, and I will see if something else might be the problem.

Quick Markdown Guide

By default, new comments may be entered as Markdown, simple markup syntax designed to be readable and not look like markup. Comments stored as Markdown will be converted to HTML by Parsedown before displaying them. This follows the Github Flavored Markdown Spec with support for Markdown Extra. For a good overview of Markdown in general, check out the Markdown Guide. Here is a quick comparison of some commonly used Markdown with the rendered result:

Top level header: <H1>

Block quote

Second paragraph in block quote

First Paragraph of response. Italics, bold, and bold italics.

Second Paragraph after blank line. Here is some HTML code mixed in with the Markdown, and here is the same <U>HTML code</U> enclosed by backticks.

Secondary Header: <H2>

  • Unordered list item
  • Second unordered list item
  • New unordered list
    • Nested list item

Third Level header <H3>
