I am not able to respond to replies. I leave a comment of another blog post and get a reply, then when I try to reply it doesn’t work. Despite hitting the reply key several times, it will not work.

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

If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

Note: If you are using an IE9 browser in compatibility mode that makes it render as IE7 and IE7 is not supported. To disable see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com please do these four things:

1. Try clearing your browser’s cache:

2. Make sure that you have third-party cookies enabled: http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/

3. Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled.

4. Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

If it’s still happening, let us know exactly which browser (and version of it) you’re using by checking here if necessary http://www.whatbrowser.org/ and also post any error reports you get.

Hi,
I am using the same browser as before, Safari version 6.0.4 (8536.29.13).

It has just suddenly stopped and clearing my cache and the tips aren’t changing anything. I can still comment, but when they comment back; I cannot reply.

Thanks,

Michael

Are you referring to replying to comments on your own blog?

No, I am commenting on another friends blog and they respond. I then attempt to reply to their response and ‘no dice.’ It is not working. This is occurring on the notification section, by the way. I get notified and usually respond to the notification, until now.

Mike, the same with me! I have cleared my “cache” and I have changed nothing since the last time I was able to “Reply”. Whatever happened, happened in the last couple of hours! I’ve just posted same on the forum! Doreen

Then you do have a browser related issue.

Thanks Doreen! I thought it was something to do with my Safari or BT! At least I’m not alone!

Do you want the URL’s of all the comments I tried to reply to?

Although I can comment on other posts, not having that problem. Just the replying to comments.

Sorry about that. The reply-to functionality in the notifications menu should now be working again.
