Typed comment disappears after member signs in. Comment has to be retyped to be posted.

I just noticed that after typing comments, hits on "submit comment" button and signing in, already typed comment won't be posted but rather disappears. User has to retype comment again in other to post comment. Forum version in use is 2.1.13p1.
This will definitely annoy forum members and discourage from commenting.

Please is there a way to modify "CommentBeforeRegister" addon so that comment get instantly posted once member signs in? If possible comment get instantly posted after guest has registered and verified email to become forum member?

This is a wonderful addon for converting guests into members but needs twerking to be better.

    This plugin doesn't work in 2.1 as it requires a function introduced in the 2.2 branch.

    Sorry.

    Really? I have been using this plugin for a while now on version 2.1.11 until after updating to 2.1.13p1. I noticed that already typed comment in comment box disappears after member signs in instead of getting posted.
    Please is there a way to modify the plugin to work on version 2.1.13p1 and also on version 2.2?

    Hm... maybe I astroturfed it a little bit.

    the function stash doesn't exist in 2.1 but does in 2.2.

    "CommentBeforeRegister" addon still clears typed comment after user logs in. User has to re-type comment again! Forum version is 2.2. Help is needed please.

  • I'm still have this problem of typed comments disappearing when user signs in.
    Please I need help. Does any other person has this problem or is it only me? Vanilla version is 2.2.

  • @hgtonight @peregrine @vrijvlinder @mtschirs - can anyone assist in solving this problem please?

  • Anyone?
    @R_J ?

    @Prosper you should be contacting @mtschirs as he wrote the code.

  • @hgtonight - yes I tried my best contacting him (@mtschirs) but he never got back to me. Please @mtschirs if you are there, we need your help!

    This is the biggest caveat with open source. You get the software for free, but you maintain it. mtschirs isn't obligated to support it.

  • yes @hgtonight you are absolutely right.
    I can buy him coffee if he can help support the addon. If any other developer can assist that will be great too. Can you @hgtonight help?

    Reviewing this code against 2.2 and I am not seeing how it would ever pick up the typed comment.

    I'm encountering the same, strange problem. Did you ever discover a solution?

  • @MrCanadian - no solution to the problem yet! Can someone help?

  • This problem has persisted for a very long time. The problem is "Typed comments" disappears after member logs in or registers. Please please, can someone fix this addon? The developer @mtschirs seems not available to help.
