  Comments/likes button in toolbar not working.
  When I click the dialogue image/like star in the upper toolbar (next to my user image), I get the wait indicator (the pulsing flower I call it) and nothing else. I used to get a dropdown box showing who had commented on a psot, who had replied to a comment I made, who had liked a post, etc. Now I get nothing, whether I try Firefox or IE.

  I’m using a win 8 machine.

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

  If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

  Note: If you are using an IE9 browser in compatibility mode that makes it render as IE7 and IE7 is not supported. To disable see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

  If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com please do these four things:

  1. Try clearing your browser’s cache: http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050

  2. Make sure that you have third-party cookies and JavaScript enabled: http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/

  3. Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled.

  4. Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

  If it’s still happening, let us know exactly which browser (and version of it) you’re using by checking here if necessary http://www.whatbrowser.org/ and also post any error reports you get.

  Enabling third-party cookies seems to have solved it. When I switched to the new computer, I forgot that WordPress needs third-party cookies and had it disabled.
