Comments don’t work
-
The support is currently down, so I posed here (I’ll try at least):
I’m not able to leave comments at other or my sides anymore. This started yesterday I think. Can anyone help me with this issue? -
First thing, have you checked your spam folder? It’s possible they might be there and the same for the admin on the other blogs. Akismet has a habit of eating comments it shouldn’t sometimes; if you unmark them as spam, it should start to learn and not make the same mistakes.
If that’s not the problem, what do you see when you’re trying to comment? Do you see the comment box to type in or can you not reach it at all? What browser and operating system are you using?

Jop, my own things come to spam – that’s weired! Why is that? I don’t want to be handled as spam :(

Akismet takes a while to learn behaviour; it has a database it matches certain terms against and if someone uses more than 2 or 3 links in a comment, that will mark it as spam. There are also some bugs which have been reported which cause problems; if you run across one of those, you need to report it to staff. But if you mark the comments as spam a few times, it should learn and you (hopefully!) won’t keep having the problem. At least you caught it this time, so that’s something. :)

My own(!) comments are reported as SPAM and the same happens on my friend side… I think that really got worse :(. I never sent links in comments…. this is… stupid :(.
