  Hi, I am enrolled in Writing 101 and don’t seem to have full access to The Commons. Although I can read the content and follow links I can’t post or reply. Please help.

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

  Hi Sandy,

  Sorry for the trouble! I double checked your account and you do have permission to post in the Writing 101 course. (Please make sure you’re looking at the current Writing 101 commons and not the Blogging 101 commons site from January — that one is read-only now that the course is over.)

  If you continue to have trouble with it, please let me know!

  Hi Sandy,

  I removed you and added you back to the April Writing 101 commons.

  Let me know if that helped by trying out a test post and comment?

  Sorry, I think the error must be at my end… I tried to post this a few minutes ago:
  I’m afraid I’m not having much luck on the Commons this time. I can now post, but can only read 5 other posts, and the one I was about to comment on has disappeared, as has mine… So frustrated, the mechanics of trying to connect with other people are taking away all the writing time. Maybe it is my internet connection and I should just try again later…

  I trashed my brief poem about the finding the letter, – and now I want to read it again but I seem to have deleted it. Anybody else having one of those days?

  The Commons uses P2 theme, which relies heavily on infinite scroll. If you’re having connection problems that can definitely limit the number of posts you’re seeing because every scroll is essentially refreshing the page.

  If you need to search for a comment or post, you can do that in the common’s /wp-admin/ since you’re a registered user for the site:
