Yackety-yak: I've Been Caged
Help! I've been having problems commenting on WordPress blogs. I comment and then it disappears? I think I might be caught in your spam filters.
If you're a WordPress blogger would you see if I've been snagged?
I noticed the other week a couple of your comments went to my spam. I have no idea why as this has never happened before. I fished them out and I've been checking ever since. It has happened again as far as I can tell. Sorry you're having trouble.
Interestingly (or not!), I have a similar phenomenon happening on my own Blogger blog: I simply can't use the "reply" button, the comments keep disappearing.
I suppose these are temporary glitches and someone's already at work correcting it.
Merisi darling! How are you? SO weird about reply disappearing. I can relate. I've had that happen a time or two but it usually clears up soon after. Thanks for dropping by :) I need to stop by your beautiful blog. It's been too long since I popped over there.
Lots of people keep asking me this but their comments (if they don't show up) are always in the spam folder. WP just forgets to tell people that some comments are awaiting moderation :/
One of my friends on "Blogger" has a Wordpress blog and in order to use my profile photo, I unknowingly created a Gravatar/Wordpress account so I now have both. My Wordpress blog isn't open right now as I just have it sitting in limbo where only I can see it. Bottom line, when I comment on a Wordpress blog, I log in and the comment turns up just fine...
I've noticed it happening with my WordPress blog just in the past few weeks. It's funny though because it's only a couple of comments here or there. Weird :-P. I've finally gotten in the habit of checking the Spam folder everyday. And I know I've run into a similar thing with blogger (which you were ever so kind to help me out with--thank you), but that was an issue of being unable to comment rather than being banished to the Spam zone. Ergh. Sorry for the inconvenience!
This totally stinks! I haven't seen any of your comments in my spam. :o(
I do know that Wordpress is getting ready to roll out a HUGE upgrade. My theme for my site just upgraded in anticipation of that update and now keeps having random issues. Hopefully they get it all sorted out soon because I miss having you in my comments! :o)
Luckily I don't think yours was one I was getting snagged on. Thank goodness! What would I do if I couldn't comment on your blog? I'd be heartbroken that's what :D
You are coming through on mine! I have a spam filter but its letting a lot of spam through. I wanted to change my settings but I'm afraid I'll miss comments like yours.
I think Blogger's been having some problems lately as well because I get comments on my blog but then they disappear... it's strange because I don't know what happens to them. Hope you get to the bottom of the problem!
My move to WP has been a nightmare. I really regret changing over and it's make me less enthusiastic about blogging even. Sorry if you have had problems on my blog. I'm feeling the same pains!
Wordpress has made changes to their commenting system and it is a total pain now. I didn't find any of your comments in my spam.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea. Thanks for explaining and thanks for checking. :D
Deleteoh... wordpress is creepy in general :( i used to do a monthly post on a wordpress blog and it was the most frustrating process ever!
ReplyDeletebut your comments are working fine on blogger :)
Yah I've tried it too and didn't dig it.
DeleteThanks for the support doll :)

ReplyDeleteWeird right? Thank you SO much for freeing me :)
DeleteI meant for that to say HASN'T happened again!

This is too funny...last week when I commented on Wordpress blogs...I got everyone's comments because the box was automatically checked!!!
ReplyDeleteI had so much email!!!
Oooo I remember that.
DeleteI kinda liked it ;)

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear it's not just me :)

ReplyDeleteHope you found out how to correct it, Juju! =)
Will you believe I did that and was still getting snagged?
DeleteThanks for the tip :)

DeleteAnd what a bummer. Growing pains. Argh ;)

I don't have any advice for you, but wanted to tell you that caged bird pic is just too adorable for words! :)
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks :)
DeleteOh no! I'm on blogger but your comments always make my day brighter! Hope you and baby are doing well!
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks sweetie :) Now your comment brightened my day.
DeleteThis has been happening to my comments as well :(
ReplyDeleteThank goodness I'm not alone in this boat :)
DeleteI went to this site and notified them I was being caught. (http://akismet.com/contact/)
I'm hoping it improves soon.
Unfortunately my wordpress blog do not get any comments at all so I do not know if it happens :D
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you blogged on WP :)
DeleteIt happens to me when I comment on some wordpress blogs as well...
ReplyDeleteSo glad I'm not the only one.
DeleteI went to this site and notified them I was being caught. (http://akismet.com/contact/)
I'm hoping that helps.
thats so strange! none of your comments have shown up in my spam folder so i don't know whats going on. sorry i can't be of more help.
ReplyDeleteThat's ok :) thanks for looking.
DeleteYou are coming through on mine! I have a spam filter but its letting a lot of spam through. I wanted to change my settings but I'm afraid I'll miss comments like yours.
ReplyDeleteAwwww you're so considerate. Thank you. Do you get lots of spam?
Deletehmmm, interesting. for a few days I was getting autosubscribed to mailing lists from wordpress, but it seems to have stopped now.
ReplyDeleteI had that too! Man that was annoying.
DeleteI think Blogger's been having some problems lately as well because I get comments on my blog but then they disappear... it's strange because I don't know what happens to them. Hope you get to the bottom of the problem!
ReplyDeleteWeird. I haven't had that happen. Try going to Dashboard -> Comments -> Spam. Good luck and thank you.
DeleteOh no! Sorry, I'm on Blogger so I have no idea. Here's hoping you're uncaged soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks sweetie :)
DeleteMy move to WP has been a nightmare. I really regret changing over and it's make me less enthusiastic about blogging even. Sorry if you have had problems on my blog. I'm feeling the same pains!
