Solving The Problem................ THANKS TO THOSE WHO FIXED IT !!!


The problem appears to widespread according to E-blogger help. Many of you have expressed to me that you are having the same problem. After checking each blog, I noticed that everyone of the blogs listed above have embedded comment setting.
If you'd like to change it and don't know how, here is what you do...............

Go to your blogger dashboard. Next to New Post, Edit Post You will see Settings.
Click on this then click Comments. I believe it is the 3rd box that gives you 3 choices, FULL PAGE, POP UP or EMBEDDED. Choose either one of the first 2.
BE SURE TO CLICK SAVE CHANGES AT THE BOTTOM!! DONE!

I'm probably not the only one who can't comment on your blog and some think it is because a lot of us had to upgrade IE recently.

HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE !! :)

Done, I hope, I think. I want to accomodate and please.

Sheila said...

Hmmmmmmm - wonder if such is why I haven't received comments lately or just no one's reading my blog. Thanks for taking the time and doing the research and sharing.

Unknown said...

Carol, totally stole your words of solution and just posted it on my blog with a link to you. Hope you don't mind!

Captain Hook and Lady Crochet said...

I always wondered why you did not comment! It is done! Can't wait to see those comments Carol! :0)

Susan said...

thanks carol - I think I fixed it

Lee said...

Hi Carol, noticed you were from Nashville, home of Country music. Wow! The grand ole 'opry....yeeehaaaa!
I grew up with Country and Western music as well oldies.
My wife is nuts over Willie Nelson and his 'Georgia' song.
Me...? Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Slim Whitman, Hank Williams, Mac Davis, Duane Eddy just to name a few.
You stay easy and keep a song in your heart...
best regards, Lee.
ps, re you not able to get into some blogs, could be the blog has hiccups. Or their place has connection blues.

Elizabeth McCrindle said...

Have changed it Carol so hopefully you can comment. Thanks for the heads up I look forward to being over run with comments lol

Shannan Martin said...

Who knew? I sure didn't! I'll see what I can do to fix this - but it may have to wait until post-vacay. We're supposed to leave in a few hours and I'm still not packed. Ack!

Thanks again for explaining the sitch! ;)

Dirt Princess said...

I am heading to fix it now...I am so sorry! The quirkiness of computers!

Kat said...

Yep, unbeknownst (is that a word?)to me I had that as my setting. Hopefully it is fixed now as I starve for comments!

Nezzy (Cow Patty Surprise) said...

I am so happy that you got the whole mess figured out. Progress in technology making our lives better....RIGHT

Have a great day filled with fun commenting, God bless!!!

Angie Muresan said...

Oh dear, I'm on the list! gotta go take care of it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Missy B. said...

Mine's fixed! Thank you so much for the FYI. Have a great day, Carol!

Glynis Peters said...

I am not on the list, but I have been having problems leaving comments. Your solution is useful for filing away, thanks.

Elizabeth Bradley said...

Thanks. This is happening to me too. I want to leave comments and am unable. Google should get their act together, why offer a feature that disables bloggers from getting comments. You've done a great service, here.

crochet lady said...

Bummer, thanks for the heads up on that problem.

Arkansas Patti said...

I had that same problem in the beginning and finally discovered that "full page" solved the problem.
Nice of you to help out.

Renie Burghardt said...

Thank goodness I'm not on the list. You came and left your sweet comment this morning. Thank you, Carol!

I am also having the same problems on many blogs. The embedded ones give me the most trouble, and I end up just giving up in frustration. Hopefully, it will all be worked out.

Have a great evening!

Hugs,

Renie xox

La Belette Rouge said...

Ooh, glad I don't have IE.

The Unbreakable Child said...

I've been having trouble leaving comments too! Thanks for the info!

Jayme Goffin, The Coop Keeper said...

Carol, I hope I fixed it for you....I sure like your comments! Thanks for bring this to our attention.

Elenka said...

I just did what you said....
Gads, how do you know what you're talking about? I'm lucky I can do my blog at all. It's a miracle.
Thanks, Carol.

Betsy Banks Adams said...

Great idea, Carol.... I hope this helps. I probably need to go through all of my blogs and find out who has their comments set up embedded also... I don't know why Blogger uses that setting as their DEFAULT....

I use Firefox ---and love it. You may want to download it (free) --and use it instead of IE. I think it is much better. But--I have a Mac and don't care for anything that is made by or for Microsoft. Oh Well.

Sounds like your 'people' are willing to change.. Hope that helps.
Hugs,
Betsy

Medora said...

Thanks for the info - I'll have to take care of that tomorrow morning.

NitWit1 said...

As you know I had same problem with my own blog. Arkansas Patti helped me correct mine. She had experienced it befoe me and changing out embeded vs separate page soled the problem for her and for me.

Angie Ledbetter said...

Going in the control room now to try to fix the problem. grrrrrrrr BLOGGER!

Callie Brady said...

Thank you for the information, Carol. I made the change back to pop up. Strange how the setting got changed. I remember setting it to pop up when I was making the original settings. I made a little post on my blog about this and linked back to your post. Hope all is well with the commenting now. Thank you again! Smiles, Callie
