Blog Comments

I’ve been slightly frustrated at not being able to leave a comment on some of the blogs I follow.  I can write the comment but then it just disappears when I click the preview button.  Why do I click the preview button?   Because often the security word doesn’t appear unless I first preview my comment.  This problem is confined to Blogger.

Today I searched google and found the following advice which reputedly overcomes the problem <click here>. 

The recommended solution is for the Blogger blog owner to ensure their comments setting is configured for a pop-up window.  Settings –>  Comments –> Comment Form Placement –> Pop-up window.

I don’t know if this is solution is valid, but I can confirm it’s the blogs with the embedded comments window at the bottom of the post where I’m have a problem.  If I have to click on “comments” to get a pop-up comments window then I can successfully leave a comment.

Thanks, I'll try that. I've been told many times that people have tried to leave comments on my blogspot but were unable. I await the anticipated results! Sue www.beefur.blogspot.com

Yes there does seem to have been a long-standing problem with leaving comments on blogs which have them embedded in the post rather than as a pop up. I gather the other work-around is to write your comment before logging in to Blogger, then when it asks you to log in, make sure the "stay signed in" box is not ticked.

I had this problem and others had this problem with mine(it never used to be like that). You are right it does work.

Forgive the hijack, but I am frustrated by boating blogs that don't offer an RSS feed - unlike yours, of course. Good luck with the continuing build.
