Problems losing comments?

I'm wondering if other people are having trouble posting comments to this blog or other blogs? A few people have said their comments keep disappearing, or notifying emails bounce back. Is this a Blogger thing, or is it my ISP? A test post would be appreciated - you don't even have to be witty.

If you can't upload a comment, my email is vforbes at netspace dot net dot au
Thanks!

Hi Val,
Looks like I'm not having a problem with my blogger comment getting to you.

I get few comments on my site. It's not bloggers fault. It's because nobody loves me.

Hi Val,
I think I've been getting through OK since we have e-mailed a bit also!
Blogger was done in the late afternoon Pacific Time on Tuesday 7.11.06.
There is a site (http://status.blogger.com/) Which will tell you of upcoming down times...)

I had some problems the other day. My posts kept dissapearing and not just here..so I gave up in the end!!!!! Hopefully this will work

Always glad to take the opportunity to comments on Val's blog, even if it is only by invitation for a test.

Val said...

Hmmm, I wonder if the people who have been having trouble just happened to hit the time when Blogger was down for some maintenance. When I came across that the other day, I just waited for an hour and then was able to comment fine.

Lee-Ann, I read about it being -3ยบ in Castlemaine recently! We're supposed to drive up in 10 days' time, hope it's a bit warmer then as we'll be staying on our block of land in our shed. Brrrr.

Awwww, poor John, how about everybody going over to John's blog for some thought-provoking and interesting posts. And leave a comment or two!

Testing, testing 1 2 3...no problem here.

I have had trouble posting comments on other blogs during certain times and especially on Mondays. Go figure. I thought maybe it was because so many people were logging on after the weekend.

I've never had any trouble here...except passing the big test: the word verification.

It was wierd that I got the undeliverable mail messages Val, because obviously you got the comments just fine in your mail box and they showed up here. I haven't had any trouble since. Might've been your server having a quirky moment or two.

I am SO glad I am not the only one that sometimes needs more than one go at this ::smiles::

One thing I do know - the time difference between here in Australia and Bloggers location makes a big difference. When I try to work in the middle of the night I can NEVER publish quickly, I figure it's because it's the daytime over there and the lines are busy?

I am off to visit John - to heck with my tax!

Val said...

Hmm, I hadn't thought of the time difference being the issue, but that would make sense, with more people using it making a bottleneck.

Tax?! Amazing how fast THAT time rolls around every year!

Hi Val, I have found that an onset of senior moments sometimes overtakes me after word verification, (btw, I use the little blue wheelchair icon which gives you audible numbers, a bit strange but better than the wierd leyyers) phew, back on track, after verification I find I sometimes hit the X at RH Top instead of the publish button!! go figure.
