Just saw that you do have title attribute set. But the comments link is a permalink. So that may be messing it up somehow.

Hey Ryan, just got home and checked. The reason it looks like it is working in Firefox, I believe, is that the alt text is making it look like it is working. IE doesn’t handle that as well as ff does I think. If you want it to look the same in IE you might want to put something in the link for the ‘title’ attribute, or simply make an image, name it the comment_new.gif and place it in the appropriate folder.

I will check once I get home and can actually use Firefox.

In rereading, you state that they did a fresh install of WP. Did they rebuild the whole site or just install a new WP? If just WP then you should probably still have the DB active.

No you are not crazy, and it may be in there. You will have to unzip the file and see if there are any *.sql files in there and rebuild with those. Or whatever DB you are using calls them, could be some flatfile.

Is it all users who have Firefox? Or just you? If just you then it might be cached from when it was there, or when you were testing.

Did you ever have that file there?

I am not sure, but I would assume not. Did your database become corrupted as well from the attack?

Oh, I wasn’t implying that it was too long, lol. I did read the whole post, so that’s saying something.

I can click on the link and be taken to the comment block in IE. However the image is not showing up. Are you sure that

is a valid gif? Or that it is actually located there?

Try 7zip to open the file. That is really the only question I see in the wall of text above, so I hope it helps. And sorry to hear about the hack. Some people have nothing better to do.
