Having problems commenting on WordPress blogs

    I’m a wordpress.com user and am having a problem commenting on wordpress blogs. When I enter my usual details in the comment block, it will say “You are being asked to login because [this email address] is used by an account you are not logged into now.” I don’t understand what this means. I have only ever had one account attached to my WordPress.com account.

    On some WordPress blogs (can’t tell which are .com and which are .org) things work fine, and on others I fill my password for the named email account when I get this message and the comment goes though, while on others I fill in the password for that account and it seems to think that the comment has gone through but it doesn’t display. If I repeat the process it tells me a duplicate comment has been detected and yet the original comment is NOT there.

    This has all started happening in the last few days. I did change my password a few days ago.

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

    Whether your comment shows immediately on a site or not, all depends on the settings the site owner did choose. Most site owners want to moderate comments before they get published.
