  For a week I haven’t been able to comment on any WordPress blogs, even when I am logged in. I type the message, press reply, and the page refreshes but the comment isn’t there. Exactly the same on phone, iPad and computer. I’ve only commented on blogs I have commented on in the past, so they aren’t awaiting moderation etc. How can I fix it?!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Looks like we’re in for the long haul. I’ve just sent an e mail to Askimet, but don’t have any real faith that I’ll get a reply.

  It’s so irritating when it’s just come out of nowhere! One week, fine, next week can’t comment on any blogs whatsoever! It’s really annoying!!! When did you stop being able to comment on anything?

  I first noticed it last Monday and thought it was a problem with my computer or the internet connection. Try leaving a comment on my blog now and I’ll check the spam box.

  Cool, I’ve done one on your latest spam post! I pressed reply, and as usual it’s disappeared completely :( I thought it was my iPad or something, but I’ve tried it on everything now and all of my comments just disappear!

  ‘ve just checked my spam box – yes, you were in there. So I clicked “not spam” and your comment was moved to my Pending box. I clicked in there on the ‘approve’ option, and your comment is now on my page. Thanks for commenting – shall I do the same for yours?

  Please do if you want to check your spam status! Otherwise I don’t want to inflict my blog on you ;-) It’s so frustrating. I’ve emailed Akismet as you suggested so hopefully one day they will sort it out. I might to a post similar to yours and try and get everyone to un-spam me to see if that helps!!!

  Have just left you a message. It’s probably in spam. You have a very interesting blog. Congratulations!
