Problems leaving comments

Is anyone else having problems leaving comments on blogs which require you to retype two words?  I have lost count of how many lengthy comments I have left only for a) the comment to completely disappear, b) to be told I have typed it incorrectly despite having about 6 attempts and knowing I haven't got it wrong c) be identified as Anonymous even though I am signed in and my name appears on other blog comments.

I am not being critical; obviously some bloggers feel it necessary for us to prove we aren't robots but I find it frustrating when I want to leave a comment and am unable to.

Can anyone help please?

    It's extremely frustrating and annoying ! I've seen discussions on other forums and it appears lots of people are reading and running these days because it is so time consuming to leave a comment. Don't know what the answer is really but let's hope it doesn't put people off posting x

    Yes Ruth I have had exactly the same problems as you. Sometimes I click to leave the comment and it loses the comment completely, other times I have to keep signing in although I am already signed in. I think blogger has issues from time to time which seem to eventually rectify themselves. I once lost all my followers and it was telling me there was an error but then they suddenly appeared again...so frustrating isn't it? Hope it sorts itself out soon.
    Have a great weekend.

    Hi Ruth,
    Yes me too! the whole word verification thing drives me mad and i give up,the only way to change it is for the blogger to turn word verification of,i know it loses followers and comments as it is so frustrating x

    I've now started right-click copying my comment before I take the trepidatious plunge and press the button- I've lost count of the amount Of times I've lost a long comment AAARRRGGGHHH!

    I've had the same problem. One thing that does help is if you make sure you uncheck the 'stay signed in' box when you sign in.
    I also find I am constantly having problems with people leaving lovely comments and then when I try to reply to them I find they are 'no-reply' bloggers. So frustrating as they probably think I can't be bothered to reply which is far from the truth. M x

    Oh I can identify with all these comments...It is so frustrating to write a long comment only for it to disappear. The word verification thing is a pain, the no reply blogger thing even more of a pain!

    My blog now requires the 2 word type in and I did nothing to make it do this.

      That is very strange. I wonder if that has happened to the ones I have trouble with.

    I so agree I get soo frustrated when there is a verification thing! I didn't realise there was a 'no reply' thing.
    I'm still trying to work out how people get all their extra loveliness down the sides of their blogs... I'm such a novice!

    Hi! Ruth,

    I completely understand your frustration. I've encountered the same problem when leaving a comment with a verification. Not fun!

    Hope this issue gets resolved as your comments are a good thing ;o)

    Have a great weekend & a wonderful Earth Day! Hope you stop by my blog to view my Earth Day challenge. Take care.

    Blessings & Hugs,
