Universal complaint about the comment system that WordPress.com uses
-
The url could be domain.wordpress.com
a) I use an iMac and also Windows8. I tried my iPhone & iPad for the same site.
b) I – as a webdesigner – use most browsers to check sites, like for instance Safari, Firefox, and Chrome.
Thanks for your inquiry.

And those domain.wordpress.com URLs are…? There’s really no way to do this without a concrete example.
If you’d rather not post the URL in the forums, perhaps Staff will agree to take this to email.

@JustJennifer: I’m referring to commenting on WORDPRESS.COM sites, and yess, as a designer I do know the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org.
When WordPress.com in fact started it was the original comment form. Which has now changed into sort of ‘Jetpack like commenting system’ also on WordPress.com.
Thanks for your input.
-
I never said you didn’t know the difference between com and org sites. I just said that in order to actually help you with this issue, Staff would need a specific URL where you’ve left a comment.
Cheers.

@JustJennifer: On most WordPress.com – meaning all of them manifest this problem – sites I would like to comment on, it goes wrong just submitting the comment. It – the comment – does not even arrive in blogger’s inbox.

People are sighing and complaining on Twitter
Twitter has 284 million users. Can you give a little more accurate information? ;)
A screenshot is not that hard to do. Or copy and paste a link…. :) -

For the sake if clarity this site http://mightymusings.nl/ is not hosted by WordPress.COM. If you are getting complaints about the inability to submit comments successfully to posts on that site then we cannot help you here with that at all. Our WordPress.COM support docs do not apply to it and we cannot help you here as we provide support here only for WordPress.COM hosted blogs.
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG and need support for that site and if you do not have a WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.

WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Pagere: JetPack issues
Some JetPack solutions are here http://jetpack.me/support/
Others are in the JetPack support forum at WordPress.org
http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpackHowever, if you can’t find help at either one then you can file a JetPack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service

@Timethief: Obviously you did not notice it was a complaint about WordPress.COM sites where I cannot comment?
Please read the previous responses before you place a comment. :-p

So far we know you are experiencing this:
Most of the times my comments on these new blogs get lost, or won’t be accepted.
The top level domain here is wordpress.com and all blogs hosted here are on .wordpress.com sub-domains. Our difficulty is that as comments are submitted to posts or pages on .wordpress.com hosted sites we need to have at least an example of an exact URL for a specific post or a page that you experience this behavior on.
-
I do not have or take the time to take screenshots whenever people complain, I think that is your job.
My job???
I said you clearlyI’m volunteer in the forums.
in my second response:
If you do not have time to make a screenshot, I’m afraid I do not have time to help.
Cheers & good luck. -
@Timethief: And you thought I missed that?
It’s not my job to proof this. Find out for yourselves.

This is the first I’ve heard of a widespread inability to comment on WordPress.com sites. If it’s happening for you, I can understand why you would be frustrated, and why you would see it as something we should fix, rather than something you should have to prove. That having been said, if I can’t replicate the problem, I can’t report it. This thread is getting out of hand, so I’m going to close it. If you are able to capture a concrete example of this problem in action, feel free to open another thread.
