  I am being asked to sign in under a deleted account every time i try to comment on friends blogs or even reply on my own. I am signed in under my new account and it still asks for deleted account info and will not accept my new email and account information.

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

  Hi there. Please try the following: Log out of WordPress.com and then clear your browser’s cache and cookies (instructions at http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/). Then log back into WordPress with your new account and see if you still have this problem.

  Also make sure that you have third-party cookies enabled – it could be that when you try to comment away from your admin page the system does not recognise you as logged in already. Instructions for enabling cookies here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/
