  I am signed in here , but when I posted a comment on Deadline it showed as Anonymous. I have been signed up for this service for a while. What’s the problem.
  Thank you

  Hi there,

  Where exactly did you publish your comment? What’s the address of the site in question?

  Here’s the address;

  From what I can see deadline.com is not a WordPress.com site, but a separate site that is hosting on Amazon AWS, and it seems they use their own commenting system.

  With that in mind, logging in here under your WordPress.com account would not also log you in to whatever system they are using to collect comments on that site.

  You may need to reach out to deadline.com staff directly to see why you are showing up as Anonymous on comments you make on that site. I see they have a “tip line” here but I suspect they will monitor it for other questions as well: https://deadline.com/tip-line/

  Hope that helps!

  Thank you for the reply. I will say that it was through WordPress that I used to sign on to comment there. After your earlier post I did go to their ‘tip line’ and sent out a question. Thank you again for your diligence in researching this problem.

  It may be the case that they made a change to their commenting system, which is not something we would be able to see on our end. I did notice however (in making a test comment on the site) that I was never asked to log in to any kind of account.
