For some reason, mephisto was breaking when comments were posted. Basically it wouldn���t allow you to post comments if one had already been posted - even if you deleted it afterwards.

Turned out it had something to do with comment caching. Therefore, I just turned it off by adding

@skip_caching = true

to the beginning of the dispatchcomments and dispatchcomment functions in the mephisto_controller. I tried messing around with the other ideas mentioned in the Developers Tips page on the mephisto wiki but had no luck. Hmmmm���.
