Cannot reply to comments from you:comments: reply

This bug has been going on at least two or three weeks. When I get an email notification of a comment, and I hit the "reply" link in the email, it takes me to a web page with a valid-looking box for typing the comment. I type the comment, either in a browser or a smartphone browser, hit "post comment," and it vanishes - without a trace. No way of getting it back.

This bug does not appear on other pages, just this one. So replying to comments directly from emails does not work.

This has also happened to me. Google Chrome is my browser.

I don't seem to be having a problem. What web browser/OS (and versions) do you use?

Thanks!

If you use a Mac, and an iPhone, you're using the same browser. The same is true if you have an Android phone and use chrome. That's why I'm trying to figure out what you're using. I have at least 6 operating systems at home, and quite a few more at work all with a host of browser on them. I'm asking you for specifics on what you use, so I can find an OS that matches yours as closely as possible, and a browser that is identical.

If I can't replicate your problem, I have no way of figuring out what's wrong. So if you could let me know what web browser and operating system you're using, I'd be grateful. And if you want to let me know your phone information as well (Android default browser, iPhone with Atomic, or whatever else it might be), I'll be glad to try it out on that too.

Thank you.
