As the title suggests, all the comments people are posting on my blog (two so far, it’s a new blog) are showing up under my name. When I go to the edit section of the comments, it shows the original poster’s name and contact info. Not sure what’s going on. Any ideas as to what might be happening?

I’m using the Eighties theme.

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Wow! That’s strange. I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

I believe that’s a bug in the theme — I just tried it on my test blog and it does it like that out of the box.

Agreed and that’s why I tagged this for a Themes Staff follow-up. It’s a new theme that has yet to be officially announced here http://en.blog.wordpress.com

Thanks for the replies. Does that mean that I would have to wait for an update from the theme developer?

Yes, unfortunately there’s nothing you can do right to change that functionality.

Thanks for reporting this bug with the comments in Eighties. I’ll let our developers know so they can get it fixed up, and we’ll keep you posted here.

The comment bug in Eighties should now be fixed. Just let me know if you still spot any issues.
