I’ve been struggling behind the scenes to get the Pied Type comment interface set to something easy and recognizable for all of you, so you may have seen some changes in the last few days. For that I am deeply apologetic. Some of the problem was WordPress changes/complications (if it’s something that causes me problems and I don’t know about or understand it, it’s a complication). And some of the problem was settings that I, in my ignorance, must have changed at some point.
Anyway, assuming I see what you see, you should have no problem commenting as you always have. Plus, there’s now an easy way for you to include pictures, etc., with your comments. (But as always, including links may cause your comment to be held for moderation.) You can also click if you want email alerts of future posts (unless you’re a new commenter, you should already be getting those) and if you want to be notified about additional comments (replies to your comments, for example).
The comment form is a WordPress creation based somehow on some selections I made (or didn’t make), so I’m not exactly in full control. Frankly, I thought the old, simple interface worked just fine.
Please, if you encounter any problems, use the Contact form to let me know. Explain the issue as best you can so that I can, in turn, bitch complain explain to WordPress.
Never mind. Just ignore this whole post.
Don’t think this works yet, Colorado .. 🙁
Well, your comment got posted, so that’s an improvement from the last one that got held in moderation. But maybe this is only a portion of what you tried to post? Sorry, I have no way of knowing.
Oops, it didn’t like my comment the first time either. I had to reload the page and resubmit or something. Yep, sumpthin’s still amiss. Sumpthin new and different, of course.
Tip-toeing around. Looks like this comment section might be fixed now, but not promising…
Whew. That worked for me. Now I need someone else to please try posting a comment. Pretty please?
Looks good to me!
I still get the new user text box which requires me to enter Name, Email and Website.
Hmm. Did you actually enter your name and website in order to post this particular comment, or did the comment appear without your filling out the info?
I guess “requires” means you had to enter the info.
I’m still communicating with WP behind the scenes and hope to get all this fixed ASAP.
MR sent me here. WordPress should perhaps recognise me OR offer me an option to sign in OR are you a self-hosted site which is different to my “free, sort of” site? Either way, WP is irritating me, and commenting is one of the ways.
Welcome to Pied Type! I apologize immediately for what feels like a sudden raft of problems with/from WordPress. Everything about Comments has been messed up, and two days ago I discovered that my Trending topics list has disappeared and my Subscribe to PT page is not working. Stress level has been through the roof. But hey, happy to have you here and hope things get back to normal soon.
