  for some reason wordpress is stuck on “admin must approve comment before posting” and i want all comments to just be posted without my permission… HELP!! (yes i unchecked the box saying “admin must approve comment” in the settings area).

  Did you hit Save Changes, which they always seem to stick down at the very bottom of the page?

  You had it set to “Hold a comment in the queue if it contains 0 or more links.” All comments contain zero or more links, so all were held for moderation. I changed that to 2 for you and it works fine now.

  FYI I submitted a WordPress bug fix for this, since it’s confusing behaviour: http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7699
