I've heard from a couple of people lately that they cannot comment on my blog. I'm trying to accurately describe the problem to Typepad. So I'm asking for some help. Would you please post a test comment to this post? If you try to post and you cannot, please Email me and describe what happened.
Did you get the Captcha box to enter a code?
Did you get a message or did the page just hang up?
As incentive, let's have a giveaway! I will draw a name from all of the comments (and the emails for failed comments) and will send the winner a pack of hand dyed scraps that I have yet to put together but I promise that it will be at least 8 ounces (equivalent of about 2 yards).
So, please help me out, if you don't mind.
UPDATE: Thanks everyone for your help! I got several people who could not post and now I have enough detail onfo to share with the Typepad team. Winners of the drawing will be announced in a later post. Comments on this post are now closed.
THANKS!!
Hi Vicki,
So far so good on trying to post a comment. Will let you know somehow if this doesn't go thru. No Captcha yet (maybe that's later?

worked fie with word verification... Only `issue` I can see is the Name, Email Address, Website forms aren`t labelled, but mine did auto fill in...

Worked great! Really would love to win these scraps. Have an applique project going and need lots of colors.

Testing... Thank you for all your posts about your dyeing process. I am looking into dyeing cotton yarn for my crocheting, and am grateful for all the information about how you make your fabric colorfast.

Trying from Firefox on a Mac. Working with computers can be a black art!

I am commenting from Firefox 11.0 on a PC. I haven't had any problems.

Last time I definitely had the captcha things - it was very hard to read!

So far, so good.

I've certainly left comments before without issue. Let's see if this one works too.

I had captcha too and agree it is super hard to read. But I guess that's the idea to stop those pesky spammers.
Posted by: joan | April 14, 2012 at 11:41 PM
i've never had a problem with your comment section!

Testing, testing, one, two, three, sibilance, sibilance. Firefox 11.0 with Windows 7 Pro w/ Service Pack 1.

Got nearly unreadable captcha . . . is spam technology really better than the human eye . . . and for what?
Posted by: Sarah | April 14, 2012 at 11:49 PM
I noticed the verification was different the last time I commented so we'll see if it goes through this time.
Posted by: Wanda | April 15, 2012 at 12:27 AM
Okay giving it a try here. :)
