Comments issues?

Hey guys - quick question - I've received a few emails from people having problems commenting on our posts. Have you had problems leaving comments lately?

If you have a moment, please try to leave a comment on this post as a test. If you can't leave a comment, there's a poll in the sidebar where you can say so.

This is also a great opportunity for the shy peeps out there to de-lurk. :) Hey, I might even send a little something out as a surprise "thank you" if you leave a comment and help us out! ;)

    I noticed a few issues with it yesterday and I figured it was just my computer being weird, what with the solar flares and all. :)

    I don't know if it helps but my blogger is set up to send me an email when people leave comments on my blog and that hasn't been happening for the last week, I think it needs a visit to the docs!

    For what it's worth, I did have to scroll down to find the CAPTCHA codes and the final "publish" button to complete the comment process - would that cause problems for some folks?

    There have been a lot of blogs lately where I have had major problems commenting and just given up. Some of the CAPTCHA based programs have been IMPOSSIBLE for me to read! Then after about 4 tries, and I'm positive I've gotten the words right, I'm given a new CAPTCHA to solve! Let's see if I can leave a comment here... OK, you have one of the CAPTCHA systems that's really really hard for me to read, so I'll try again. It wouldn't let me leave a comment with my name and URL so let's see if it works with my google account.

    I'm not having a problem leaving a comment, although it did require me to hit publish three times. :) Once for it to "take" that I was signing in from my google account. Once to actually try to publish it. And the third because now it was showing a captcha and I could enter the captcha information.

    ReplyDelete
  23. AnneMarch 10, 2012 at 12:43 PM

    (p.s. it's possible that the first time I hit publish just happen to coincide with it reloading as it "registered" that I was commenting as my google account)

    Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy! I used my google account and solved the impossibly hard question. I'm having the same problems on my blog. Someone told me it has to do with embedded comments. I switched to a pop up window in my blog editing choices and all seems well now. Good luck. I love your blog and read along weekly. Thanks for being here!

    I've been able to leave a comment this time, but in the past, I have had problems on blogs like yours where the comments are on the same page as the blog post. On my blog, I have the comments box set to open in a new window, and that seems to be ok. I think it depends on the browser that people are using (e.g. which version of Internet Explorer, etc.)Let me know if you need any help with this.

    I also agree that the new Captcha images are really difficult sometimes!

    I've had some trouble leaving comments - not just here by recently I also had trouble posting a couple of comments on Lucky's website. I think the problem is with Google's new policies. Here I go... we'll see if it works! I've been mostly lurking for ages, but I am a huge fan of Feeling Stitchy. If I only had access to one blog, this would be it!

    Well, that seemed to work as it gave me the opportunity to sign in. Previously, and on Lucky's site as I mentioned I got a window asking me to start a blog on Blogger (which I don't want to do). Over the years I have learned to always copy and paste my comments into a text/note-taking program before I hit "publish" or "send" (I use Notational Velocity on my Mac) so I don't risk losing what I have written. I also add the URL of the page. If I choose "Services" from my browsers menu I get an option to "NV: New note with selection" and it automatically sends my selected comment to Notational Velocity with a link to the page. I'm sure there are other good programs (I also like MacJournal and Journaler and I've heard some good things about Evernote but I can't use the latter because I'm still using system 10.4.11) but NV is simple and quick and automatically syncs with "the cloud" so that I can access my notes from Simplenote on my iPod Touch (or if I had either, an iPhone or iPad). It's nice having a backup of all of my writing.... Cheers!
