Blog Comment Buddies

[PotterWatch]

I haven't had a problem commenting on any blogs...

With Internet Explorer, Vfem's page background is plain white and I can't get a comment through. It is like the boxes and buttons and everything are invisible.

The problem only seems to occur with Blogspot sites.

When I opened it with Wyzo (a different browser), I can see her background image for her page--a birdhouse on either side and also a scrolling decorative image on both sides. I never knew those were there before! (I remember you saying you had updated the look of your page sometime ago, but I couldn't tell what it was that you had added.) Wyzo will also let me comment. Everything is there and visible with Wyzo.

I had posted a comment on V's blog awhile back, when I entered a seed giveaway... No problems then!

Ol' Windows and IE are ALWAYS updating stuff. I think they messed the settings up with something they've done/added with an update. That's my theory anyway. I keep SAYING one of these days I'm gonna get a MAC!!!

I'll take a look at my browser settings and see if there is anything I can do to fix it. Not really sure where to start looking though!

Thanks for starting this thread, Rain. I never knew I was missing anything! I would still be in the dark...

ETA: Catalina and PottersWatch's pages appear to be the same when viewed from either browser.

As for me a different browser didn't work. Even firefox :/

I need to check out Wyzo. Never heard of that browser... I'll try it when I get home.

Thanks for your help!!

I changed my comments to a pop-up window just in case, but my settings already allowed anyone to comment as long as they did the word verification thing.

Okay... I finally got some pictures up of my garden, including the pictures of the garlic pots. Enjoy.

My husband is away on a trip and took the computer with him so I'm not able to blog right now. I am using my phone for internet access but I haven't figured out how to get pictures from it to my blog so mine will be inactive for about a month.

That sucks. I have you on my blog reader so when you blog next I'll be there reading.
