Comments not working.

I have read countless posts and I'm still lost.
Here goes, When I look at my website in iWeb 09, publish settings are publish to Mobile Me.
I have a domain name that is forwarded to my iWeb site, its only being forwarded not forwarded and masked. Shouldn't the comments section work? When i type in my Go Daddy URL I do see the web.mac info so I know its not being masked... Any thoughts? As always guys and gals thanks for helping. iDad

Are you are using CNAME or HTML forwarding? If it's CNAME try changing the web.mac.com to web.me.com at GoDaddy and see if that helps.

Do the comments work if you use the full URL, http://web.me.com/YourMMeAccount/, to get there instead of the domain name?

What's the URL of the site so we can examine it first hand?

Never heard of HTML forwarding - what is this? A new one on me!

It is either CNAME forwarding or ordinary masked or unmasked web forwarding.

Yes, it's the ordinary masked/unmasked forwarding where you point the domain name to the exact URL for the site rather than, for MMe, to web.me.com.

I've heard it called HTML forwarding as well as other names. Since I know HTML coding more that other types I like to use HTML.
