  I am trying to comment on blogs. I was able to a few days ago, but now I type my comments and it looks like the blog accepts them and refreshes, but my comments are not there.

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

  Are you having problems with the same blog that you were able to comment on a few days ago? If so I’ll flag this for staff attention. If not, it’s possible your comments went through, but they’re being held for moderation.

  I am having trouble on new blogs as well as blogs I have posted to in the past. Normally, you can see your blog post on the screen and it says “awaiting moderation”.

  I am not seeing that, either.

  I am trying to comment on blogs

  What are the exact URLs starting with http:// of the posts you refer to commenting on, please?

  @theradiocrytic
  You could be tight about the comments being in moderation but if that is the case there is a prompt stating that is the case.

  NOTE: Tagging any thread for Staff support without obtaining the relevant URLs would result in a waste of the blogger’s time and of Staff time too because Staff will ask the same question I did.

  Has anyone told you they found your comments in their spam filter? If so you may need Aksimet support. If you have had any feedback like that you can use this form https://akismet.com/contact/ and enter
  “I think Akismet is catching my comments by mistake”.

  @Thistimethisspace, I think it would help you if you didn’t copy and paste so much, or use so many links.

  I tried this blog: https://kristenbrockmeyer.com/2016/04/12/85393/
  This blog: https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/13831016/posts/991671297
  And this one: http://terribleminds.com/ramble/2016/04/08/flash-fiction-challenge-randomize-your-title-and-write/#respond

  The first one I have not commented on before. The other two I have.

  We love positive and productive discussions, so please keep comments on the topics at hand and not on other members of the community. Thanks!

  That’s not a problem, I was just providing a theory as to why your comments were being flagged.

  thistimethisspace – you were correct. Akismet was able to help me. Thanks!
