  I got a comment to-night and i clicked the name and it took me to facebook, this is about the 4th time its happened.

  Is it a visitor from facebook, who has no wordpress account.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I did notice the two Facebook and Twitter log-ins that used to appear in our comment boxes disappeared a short while ago. If the username is linked to Facebook then you can either choose to approve the comment or not. I don’t approve such comments as I don’t have Faceplant account and don’t want one. If there is no blog linked to the username then I trash the comment.

  @dribblingpensioner and tt, it looks as though the comment box has been redesigned again.

  If you are logged into your WordPress.com account, you’ll see two links to either “Log Out” or “Change”. Clicking on “Change” opens the comment box with the Facebook and Twitter options. I imagine if you log out you’ll see three options for commenting, but have not tested this yet.
