Commenting Problems?

Hi, everybody.

If you have recently tried to post a comment on this blog, and had problems with the Verification Word (VW) step, or anything related, it seems that Blogger had a bit of a problem with a bad router recently. (Poetic and photographic details are available.)

Anyway, things seem to be fixed. If you still have a problem, try clearing your cookies, and then repost the comment, it says here.

If that doesn't work, or you don't want to mess with your cookies, this is what worked for me: post the comment, get the error message about incorrect typing of the VW, click the Reload button on the browser toolbar, and click "OK" (or "Yes") in the pop-up window asking about resubmitting POSTDATA. You should get a new VW (along with the error message that you mistyped the last one. Type the new VW. Done. (This sequence will only need to be performed once.)

Feel free to put up a test comment, if you like, and please let me know if you have any problems.

Thanks to Clare for initially noticing the problem.
