Commenting Problems-Temp Fix

This is for you Toni....

I found this from a user on the Help Forum.  I did it and it seems to have worked for now.  Just thought I would pass it along.

I found a temporary solution to the comment issue (ie. you can't comment on your blog/readers can't comment on your blog)

... and it's really simple! 

Go to {design}, {settings}, {comments},

then next to {comment form placement} choose {pop-up window}... 

I had mine set to {embedded below post} when it wasn't working, so if you have it set to {pop-up window} and it's not working, try choosing {embedded below post}

then {Save Settings}. 

And hey presto, you and your readers should be able to comment.

To test that it was working, I signed out, closed my browser, re-opened my browser and commented anonymously on my blog.... I figure that if I could do this, my readers should be able to comment too! 

While in the comment section I also changed {Who Can Comment} which was set for {Registered Users} to {Anyone}... perhaps this made a difference too, considering all the problems people are having with signing in/signing out... I don't know.  

I couldn't sign out either at first, but once I unticked the remember me box (under the sign in window) as advised, I could.

Hope this works for you all too! What a relief for me :)
