Listed as "anonymous" when posting a comment on another blog
-
Okay this is a weird one.
I regularly leave comments on another wordpress blog but today for some reason, instead of my comment appearing under my WP name (MIB) and avatar, it has listed me as “Anonymous”. It has never done this before and it seems to be just on this site as I have posted on other WP sites today.
The only difference I can find, is that the reply box is unusually “half-open” which I think might be the cause. Here is a screencap of what I mean:
And this is the site and post in question: https://drunkenanimeblog.com/2018/08/07/whats-in-a-name-anime-edition/
So, any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

That’s an upgraded site hosted by Automattic (WordPress.com) that you commented on so I will type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff follow-up. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question

Hi @leeinblack, that is interesting. When you made your comment, were you logged into your WordPress.com account? I don’t think the small comment text box has anything to do with it. I just tested and when I click to leave a comment, it showed my information below the comment input box.
Can you log out of WordPress.com, clear your browser cache and cookies and then log back in and try again? I’m wondering if this is a cookie issue?

Hi, coming back to it this morning with an empty browser cache seemed to have done the trick.
Thanks for looking into this for me! :-)
