Comment form require URL to send the comment.

The comment form ask every user for a valid URL (including the http:// prefix) to send the comment, it doesn't matter if the wordpress option 'require_name_email' is uncheck, you can still send an anonymous comment but you have to fill this field first.

I've found the cause, just not sure what the fix is. It's caused by the placeholder text IE fix. since the 'your website' text is in there, it thinks it's an invalid URL and resets itself. Gonna work on some fix.

I see...

Let's hope Chris have time to fix it, it's really annoying for my readers.

I just stumbled over this as well. This fixes the problem for me

file: wordpress-boostrap/comments.php
line 126:

old: ...input type="url" name="url" id="url"...
new: ...input type="text" name="url" id="url"...

Changing input type from "url" to "text"

Stirnim's solution does eliminate the "Your Website" field requirement issue. But an important part of using this responsive theme is to accommodate mobile devices. Taking advantage of the HTML5 "url" field type is important for our mobile device audience.

Anybody else have any suggestions?

I've also noticed that after submitting an empty form, the email field gets highlighted before the name field. Seems like there are multiple problems at work here.
