Some of the blogs here at stblogs.org are using optional TypeKey(tm) authentication, but a bug makes it a bit awkward.
At present, after a user logs in through TypeKey, he should be returned to the pop-up comment window. However, the user's browser is redirected to an invalid URL: a slash character "/" is dropped out of the string. I've reported this bug to SixApart (the makers of Movable Type and TypeKey).
If you run across this problem, the work-around is easy: go back to the blog entry and click on the "Comments" link again to re-launch the pop-up window. It'll work fine the second time.
Update: This is fixed. The MT folks responded (late in the evening!) with two possible configuration changes to try. The second one did the trick. Really, then, this isn't a bug, but a configuration mistake on my part. Maybe I could say it wasn't documented well in the mt.cfg file, but it is documented in the installation manual.
