  Suddenly the names of a few commenters in threads on my blog are ‘broken’ links. It’s happened to two names so far, and these are regular commenters. Any thoughts? Is it on my end?

  Can you let me know a couple examples of this? The link in comments is determined separately for each user account so it may be that they need to update their website link at Users > Personal Settings in the Dashboard.

  Andrew – thanks for the quick reply. One has already been fixed by the commenter at her end. She said she made the correction “on the Dashboard left sidebar under “Profile” “Personal Setting” “Account Details” “Website” ”

  This isn’t really something that can happen on its own, but comments with accounts can fix it by setting their Website as you described above.

  Existing comments, however, may require you to change the URL if the commenter entered it incorrectly.
