  My readers who (do not have a wordpress account) and have been leaving comments in the past are now reporting that they get this error message.

  That email address is associated with an existing WordPress.com (or Gravatar.com) account. Please click the back button in your browser and then log in to use it.

  The latest report is from today March 21. I have changed nothing around the settings on my blog. It appears that the changes made to make commenting easier are broken.

  Hi there,

  It sounds like some of your users are trying to comment with an email that’s tied to a WordPress.com or Gravatar account.

  You might ask them to try retrieving their log in credentials by entering their email addresses here:
