Comments disabled or something?

When I hit the button to post literally nothing happens. It is as if the page code is broken or the internet went out ... tried 2 different browsers same thing.  

Wanted to comment on this torrent.

Wanted to [code] or [spoiler] but I guess this forum doesn't support BBC code?

"Why on earth is this in ISO format? 95% of google searches for convert iso to dmg are people using Macs where it is very easy to do with system utilities or even the terminal prompt. The other 4 or 5% gave instructions that completely did not work. Neither PowerISO, MagicISO nor Transmac have the ability to convert ISO to DMG. Rufus does not burn MAC bootable ISO so you have to use Transmac. Transmac doesn't open ISO format, see the problem?

I guess this torrent is fine if you have a spare working Mac, but that still doesn't explain why the hell it is in ISO format.

I lost about an hour of my life before realizing it is infinitely quicker and easier to just get a proper torrent with DMG format, you know the format that Macs actually use?"

Sometimes on both platforms the post can take some time to process.

This forum does not support "BBC code" but does support BBCode.

This torrent is in an .iso format because it is meant to be used on a PC to have a mac.

Mac's use a .dmg format.

I use Rufus for all USB bootable creations and it throws an error with the iso. Other ones in dmg format worked fine. Look up transmac if I am mentioning it I probably know iso/dmg are.

Just on topic, I'd like to mention the comments take long to show up... We may end up double posting, confuse or frustrated. More trouble for TPB and uploaders.

We know it is a great service and comments are a courtesy, but here I state my wishful brief improvement of such situation, kindly and respectfully.
Thank you!

Look guys it's not that hard to comment. You have to log in, enable javascript and disable ublock/adblock whatever.

Once your comment is posted you can disable javascript and reenable adblockers.

Thanks for info. It happens on Firefox with blockers I see the comment button but it apparently won't post, and on clean IE (no complements) it won't show the button. I don't have any other counter-measures besides Panda AV and Iobit AVC 11 / AntiMalware. Dang, I don't want to format and reinstall Windows 7sp1 again...
Will keep on trying.

OK it worked now. I clicked on the submit button and quickly a "1 comment" popped on the torrent page.
The edit box didn't close or cleaned up by itself but I assume it is it's normal behaviour. Thanks guys!

I had AdBlock enabled, and nothing happened. Disabled AdBlock and finally got a database error, and more request headers were sent this time. I thought it could've been a script error, so I tried injecting a form on ajax_post_comment.php, and directly posting through that. It seems like there are some header checks (because not even an error), probably to ensure the requests go through ajax, and to help prevent spam. Maybe I marked myself as a bot, I can only guess. I'll try again later, with AdBlock disabled.

Edit:
Oh nevermind, I just forgot the method in my form.

Is it possible to get the main FAQ article amended with the appropriate advice?
