HOW TO SOLVE THE "UNABLE TO COMMENT" PROBLEM ON BLOGGER
For Months now I have been utterly baffled as to why Blogger wouldn't let me comment on many blogs. If it had the url/name option or anonymous option, I could comment, if it just had google, open Id, Live Journal, etc options, I couldn't comment. It was sooooooooooooooo frustrating, and I couldn't figure it out.
I did research and found out if I lowered the security settings on my cookies and cleared them, then I would be able to comment, but alas, this didn't work. So, I trudged along, being unable to comment people back, wondering what in the world I was doing wrong.
I decided two days ago to do deeper research, and after about an hour of reading, I was still holding bubkahs. So, I decided to do what I do best: Play with the computer. Worst that could happen is that I would have to roll the computer back to it's original settings.
After five minutes, I found an option to type in safe sites that the computer was allowed to go to. I decided to add blogger, my blog's url and blog spot.com to my accepted sites. VIOLA! Everything is fixed. My blog now says I stay signed in (which apparently is important) and now I can comment on any blog. I have read other people's frustrating comments about the same problem so I decided to share this with you!
Update 8/1/2012: Since I have begun always clicking done after joining someone's GFC I have had no more issues whatsoever. Once I have joined, it never kicks me off, and I show up even a year later! Go me!

Thank you for stopping by and follow my blog. Following back.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week
Thanks for the follow! I am also totally wanting to get to the bottom of the no commenting fiasco. I've searched high and low on every forum connected to this and even the Blogger help forums are useless. I'm not super computer savvy so I think I'll have to leave my settings as they are. I have seemed to postpone my dilema by not keeping myself signed in. I know that it's no solution, but it is what it is :)Have a great week!
