Combox problem
-
Two readers have informed me that they are unable to access the combox for my blog articles. I don’t understand. I have tried three different browsers (Chrome, Safari, and Firefox) and have no problems accessing the combox. And yes, I made sure I was not logged-in. :)
Any ideas what might be going on? Is the problem likely to be at my end or the readers’ end? If my end, what do I do? If the readers’ end, what might that problem be for them?
TIA
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I have answered questions here for over 7 years and have never heard this question before. What is a “combox”?

I just left a test comment without any difficulty at all. Your blog is operating correctly. Unless you use P2, a twitter-like theme comments are collapsed on the front page of the blog. The way the comments function is coded into the core of WordPress. By clicking the post title or the comments link the posts on the front page open on their own page where all comments display.
In a new blog one does not have many posts or comments. In an established blog if the comments did not collapse on the front page it would become a mile long in no time flat and page loading time is a page ranking factor. We have only seconds before visitors refuse to wait and click out.
If you are concerned readers will not find the comments section you can use a text widget http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/ to tell them how to do that and place it at the top of your sidebar.
If you want to create threaded or nested comments see the support docs for Discussion Settings Other Options 4.
Enable threaded (nested) comments __ levels deep- Turn on this option to allow visitors to reply to other comments inline/nested. When turned on it can allow for better discussions and responses. We suggest using a maximum of 3 levels deep. Anything higher and the theme layouts may not work as expected. Note: Enabling the setting only applies to new comments since existing comments don’t have any threading date. However, disabling this setting applies to all comments. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#other-comment-settings

Do not post into more than one thread on any issue. Return to the first thread. -
Thanks. It appears that the two readers were trying to comment on old articles. I have the blog configured to close comments after 14 (now 21) days.
