Commenting Issues?

Current Stateside model contributor Philip G is unable to leave comments here at all.

Is anyone else experiencing issues leaving comments?

The blog is set to receive all comments, even anonymous ones, without any Captcha filters or anything.

If you once had issues commenting then please let us know how you solved it? Using a different device? Joining Google? 

Thanks,

Woodsy

Blog Comments

Owing to a particularly concerning comment on MC yesterday I will be now moderating comments before publication. Apologies to my normal readers, your comments maybe slightly delayed before appearing. 

COMMENTS DELAYS

Apologies if any of your comments are delayed in appearing.

I have activated comments moderation to prevent spam. Its worked so far as I can delete spam before it goes on the blog now.

Alas, moderation also means that ALL comments sit in my email until I can publish/delete them. Since I work full-time I can only really get to my emails from 3.30pm GMT.

Let me know if a comment of yours still doesn't appear within 24 hours of leaving it.

Thanks,

Woodsy

I WILL REPLY TO COMMENTS AND EMAILS ASAP

Whilst away on our driving tour in the North Western wilds my blogging capability was reduced to just my phone. 

As a result of my phone keys being too small for my clumsy fingers and the fact that me and the Missus were having too much fun I didn't get chance to reply to comments or emails.

If you are awaiting a reply then please be patient as I work through the backlog. I'm also going back to work tomorrow after a two week Christmas break and will be in a state of shock for the rest of the week!

Normal service will resume as soon as possible on Moonbase!

HELP! BLOG COMMENTS PROBLEM!

NEWSFLASH!

In an attempt to break the stalemate in the current issue with CAPTCHA verification on the blog, whereby even though I have turned it off months ago, several frequent readers are still being asked to verify pictures before commenting, I am going to re-set the blog.

So, for the next 24 hours I will TURN BACK ON picture-word/ CAPTCHA verification and change the comment format - in the hope that it changes  something - hopefully for the better!

Please let me know - via the comments [if you can] what your experience is now, before I decide what to do after the 24 hours is up.

I apologise in advance if your experience is less than good.

One of our regular readers and top contributors, Kevin, is struggling to comment on the blog from his Android phone. 

Even though word and picture verification [CAPTCHA] is turned off on the blog - and it has been for some time - Kevin's phone still asks him to verify picture-words before he can comment. This means that he can't comment, which is a great shame.

Is anybody else being asked to word/picture verify before commenting on the blog? Is it on your mobile? Does anyone have any advice for us as to how to solve this?
