Blogger in beta, beta blogger, whatever they are calling it… will not allow comments from accounts that haven’t switched on accounts that have. And I can not comment on blogs that haven’t switched (like tara).
The work around is to pick anon or OTHER.
Other is best because you can type in a name (and blog or website) and it posts just like you had used your account.
I am so sorry for this. Everyone will HAVE to switch (soon I think) and I think they are working on this.
I have added a note on the right side where my profile should be. Since I have had no less than seven emails, this is a common issue. Of course this happens right before a week of guest author days.
Hope you take the extra seconds to comment!
I have also noticed that a Security Informantion box pops up when you try to check or leave comments on your blog…asks me if I want to display “nonsecure items” That didn’t happen before so I wonder what they are referring to.
Hugs!

yeah I switched and I’ve been encountering problemos too. blick.
That’s weird because I haven’t switched and am commenting just hunky dory. Maybe it has something to do with the user’s browser? Like if you’re using an “older” version you run into issues?
Jennifer that is a new one to me… this happening to anyone else?
Zeek! So we can leave comments on each others blogs *g*
Wendy you are a super hero so normal rules shouldn’t apply to you. I have no clue what is going on with them.
Geez, I just wrote a comment saying how I hadn’t had any problems, hit send and got that big ‘we can’t post your comment’ page. I’m posting under ‘other’ as Sybil suggested. *sigh* I know I should just change and get it over with, but I can’t help feelig it’s going to turn into one massive headache (which I could do without).
I learned that you have to preview your comment first, before you can post. I ran into that problem at Zeek’s page this morning. Tried posting 5 times, before I tried previewing first. Give that a try and see if it helps.
The security box may have something to do with my Security settings on the computer, but like I said…didn’t have that problem before.
Thanks for the update…I will sign in as other and type my name…Gotta love Beta’s…
