Problems Posting Comments?

A reader made a post on the Coffee House questioning their inability to post comments on this site.

This reader would enter the username and password, but then get kicked out without the comments being made.

Has anyone else been experiencing this (if so and you can't comment - email me at editor@newsovercoffee.com)?

I have not had a problem and I am required to log-in when making comments.

I do know that the word verification often requires me to submit twice (for instance I put it in, hit submit, and have to put a new one in again before it goes live).

The only other thought would be a users personal firewall or browser settings causing a problem.

If anyone has had the same or has any solutions, please pass them along.

I had problems when I first got an account, but I never had them when I put comments onto a friend blog/same server. I don't seem to have any more problems though.

I see the message 'this blog does not allow anonymous comments' and after I type my comment, the word verification, username and password, I get kicked backed to the 'leave your comment' section with a message 'invalid password'.

What works for me is to click on the "..Google account, sign up now", then I sign in there and get back to the NOC site. At this point, it allows me to post and says "You're currently posting and aparent".

I'm not sure if this is a new level of security added to NOC in the past few months or if I'm just a novice at this. I used to be able to post without going through all that. I enjoy reading and commenting, so I'll do what it takes.

Hope this helps!
