Comment Issues

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm still having issues trying to post comments on other blogs. Nicole, Cassie and Christing I am still reading, just can't comment! And Nicole, you are KILLING me with the whole waiting thing to tell us what Sesame is!

Anyway, I'm still trying to figure it out but found this and thought it might help a few others:



Friday, May 27, 2011Blog Owners Unable To Login To Blogger
Besides the previously reported problem of blog owners unable to login to Blogger using the "www.blogspot.com" redirection, we're seeing a flood of reports, in Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken, from people who can't login using the "Sign In" link in the navbar - or who can't login to moderate comments, to post comments, or to Follow a blog.
I cannot log in to Blogger, at all. After I try to log in, the screen just tells me to log in again.
or
I clicked Sign In, filled out my account name and password, hit enter, and it just asked me again for my account name and password.

Some folks try using a different browser. Depending upon their specific basic problems, a different browser may work - for a while.

In some cases, you can avoid having to change browsers, until Blogger finds and fixes the basic problem with the navbar link. This is, visually, a simple procedure - but the basic details are essential.

Remove authentication artifacts from previous Blogger sessions, by clearing cache, cookies, and authenticated sessions. Don't just clear cache - and don't just change your bookmarks. If you are using Internet Explorer, do not check the "Preserve Favorites website data" option in "Delete Browsing History".
Login directly to Blogger, using "www.blogger.com". Do not select the "Remember Me" option.

People who are trying to post comments, on blogs that require Blogger authentication using third party cookies, may require a different workaround - this is not known to resolve everybody's problems. For anybody with this problem, I'd strongly suggest carefully checking your browser and computer for cookie and script filters that need adjustment.

Use of the "www.blogger.com" login - and not using "Remember Me" - should suffice for a number of blog owners, who can then get back to work on their blogs. This will cut down on the forum noise somewhat, so Blogger Support can concentrate on solving the basic problems.

Note: If the thought of clearing all cookies makes you uneasy, because of the possible consequences to other website access, you may be able to get by with selective cookie clearing. Try clearing cookies for "blogger.com", if you're able.
