Bloggery Commentary

I want to post a comment on a fellow ATS member's blog but I can't do so.

When I post in the comment box and push Submit, I get a screen with a link saying "Back" and the instruction "You must include your email address".

I haven't struck that before, as I think I had previously had a cookie of some sort that remembered me.

These things check out:

1. I am logged in under "Members" on the blog page as MaskedAvatar.

2. I can type in the box and push Submit and get to that next screen.

Not sure how this came up, but -

Where do I leave my email address?? (doesn't look like I get a field for that).

sob. no-one has picked up on my desperate plea. help me. please. help me.

That's strange, MA. I always have to put in my email address, and there is always a field for it.

Do you mind giving the blogger you are trying to comment to so that I can go over and give it a try and see if the same thing happens to me?

I checked. It's happening for me on all blogs - no Email field.

I will go over and see if the same is true for me.

I am always getting an email field on every one I click on. You are not getting the email field?

Correct.

Thanks for trying. I am probably the only one caught in this weblog trap, hence the lack of a solution to date.

I will go to a blog comments page and push the refresh button ten times while standing on my head to see if that works.

Remember, for maximum effectiveness you should also be tweeking your left nipple.



That's weird. I hope you get it fixed.

OK.

The email field is appearing when I click on a "Click to add comments" to any of the few blogs at the top of the main blog page where the latest blog entries are displayed fully in text.

The email field is not appearing when I click on to see older blogs (listed by title only) then access an individual blog entry then press the Comments link. All I get is the box for posting a comment, no email field.

Okay, I had not tried this way, but I now have. I get the email field.

you're #ed.

help me. please. help me.

Okay, I tried some other things to see if I could duplicate your problem. I even went into my profile and unclicked the "show email address" box thinking it might deactivate that field.

No luck.

I hope somebody with more knowledge on this stuff than me responds.

Just as a test....I went to your blog MA and hit the comment on your last blog post and everything came up as I have usually seen it do so:

Name:
Email:
Location:
Homepage:

etc....


I am not certain of your particular problem or glitch but have you u2u'd William....?
If not, I will gladly do so and alert him to this thread, if he is not already aware.

Tried flushing cookies and cache?

Fixed thanks!

I suspect our erstwhile IT Director had much to do with the repair, many thanks.

I find that technique highly useful in many situations
