Commenting problems
Nov 12, 2013
I'm experiencing major problems with the site. Almost all comments are disappearing into a black hole. I have put in a support ticket and will post an update when I have news.
Commenters tell me that comments from registered members are still getting through.
Reader Comments (25)
Test from Brisbane 0700 13 Nov. 2100 12 Nov UK.
Logged on. Will logoff and resend.
Comments only accepted if from registered users logged on.
Test from Brigadoon, 9.11pm GMT
Mine seems to have just gone through as normal on the (rarther scant) Walport thread.
testing - registered
comment as unregistered is still "Your post has been submitted.
Your post has been submitted successfully and will appear shortly."
Test sent logged off one hour ten minutes ago still not showing. Comment as per Martin A.
Hmm, if at first you do not succeed,
My first comment on Walport failed. I have just put another on, and that worked.
I'm not registered but I commented on "Captive State" a couple of days ago without any problem - will this one get through?
Testing
I often have problems commenting when unregistered - there seems to be an ongoing glitch there.
Did this come through ?
Don't mess with "The Bish"

Have just logged on as a test.
And now WattsUpWithThat has had a spam attack too.
It's very bad luck and with the conference in Poland going on as well.
At least Jo Nova never has internet attacks (fingers crossed).
However, if this double-posts it has nothing to do with the internet and is just what always happens from this PC on this site.
Test
"At least Jo Nova never has internet attacks (fingers crossed)."
Not true, show was taken out for an extended period. Last year IIRC.
[posted as unregistered user, posts in recent days went into limbo.
OK, last msg got through whereas yesterdays posts in same conditions were getting lost.
Looks to be cleared from this end.
All my witty posts from the last couple of days have disappeared..!
Oh, well - as Del Boy would say: 'Mange tout...'...
Second test (failed yesterday)
Bish, I think you'll find that they're in the deep ocean...
Me too - just seeing what works and what does not
Darn it! .... the black hole has disappeared. Bang goes my cunning plan to get rid of global warming, AR5 and ABBA.
I'm getting a series of "Connection was reset" warnings. Back a page and try again seems to work most of the time but summat's not right somewhere.
Comment is Free ......
But not always possible
