  Yes I have, plus an additional issue with the blog today as well.

  Yes, very skilled in patience. Just letting other people know about other issues with the new commenting box.

  Surely the staff responsible for this rollout would keep their eyes on the forums to see if users are having problems? It would be more efficient than generating lots of support tickets and dealing with individual “problems”.

  These problems are general (to WPcom), some are (with the contrast thing) specific to some template styles, however, the general complaint not specific to any template style is that the font was made too small. It is a global thing.

  In looking at the html, the problem resides in the code in “comment-form-nascar”, but specifically probably in “comment-form-field comment-textarea” or <div id=”comment-form-comment”><textarea id=”comment” name=”comment”></textarea></div>
  whereby they either did not specify a font size, or specified the wrong font size. Easy peasy global fix. No biggie. Just specify whatever font size was in the previous version of the comment box. It worked.

  And gosh, if they called their new comment box rollout “nascar” then surely they expected some of them to hit the wall in a spectacular firey crash? LOL

  Is timewarp a bot? It seems to build a no-answer response around one word in your comment. {Patience).

  Okay, NOW, just recently, the last comment I make stays in the comment box as others have mentioned.

  And the font in the comment box is still tiny.

  I am not a bot. I am a Volunteer a fellow blogger who chooses to support forum answer questions to the best of my ability. The fact is that Volunteers cannot help with technical issues like this one and I believe I have made that clear. Only Staff can resolve your issues in this case. To cope with the font size in the meanwhile I have posted above what you can do to increase font size. That’s all I can do and I don’t appreciate being insulted.
