Most recent and I hope the final update to the blog problem. Cheryl, see her comment below, suggested allowing third party cookies and the problem vanished, not that I understand why, but hey. . .
Three cheers and a mighty Thank You to Cheryl.
========================================================
Update on problem: I fear this may be related to my hard drive crash of a week or so ago. I lost everything and had to get a new hard drive. While my PC was down, I found that I could work here with a small Tab5.
I now have a new hard drive and have spent considerable time trying to restore my system. I've been mostly successful, but. . .
Present problem: I can create, edit, and delete my blog posts on my PC, but I cannot edit or add comments/replies to that same blog post. In addition, I find that I cannot reply on several blogs that I follow. Right now I am blocked from replying on R. T.'s blog and madamevauquer's blog. Since I find that I can reply on my own blog using the Tab, I will try this on other blogs to see if it works.
However, my replies will be much shorter than usual because I can create messages now only by laboriously tapping them out one letter at a time. How any body can spend a long time texting is beyond me.
Why I can reply on my TAB and not on my PC is beyond me.
I'm having problems responding to a number of blogs that I visit and what's most serious is that I can't even respond to comments here, on my own blog. However, I can still create blog posts, even though I can't comment on them.
Yvette, I'm not ignoring your comment to the last post on Kenko, for I have tried several times and it won't accept my comments. I don't understand what happening or why. I will return and respond to your comment here on this post.
R.T., I've also tried to leave comments on several of your recent posts, but my replies are not being accepted there either.
Ah, the joys of Blogger. A love-hate companion.
ReplyDeleteR.T.,
DeleteMore the joys of cyberspace and right now it's leaning in the hate direction.
Fred, just to let you know - several days ago, I was not able to post comments on Blogspot for a few days. It has been ok for me the last couple of days.
ReplyDeleteMadamevauquer,
DeleteI hope this ends soon as this is a slow and tedious way of replaying. See blog post for explanation.
I'm
I hope all has been resolved. Well?
ReplyDeleteR.T.,
DeleteUnfortunately it hasn't been solved, but I've found a temporary way of working around the problem. See updated blog for information.
Just saying "hi." I came over for the latest update.
ReplyDeleteMadamevauquer,
DeleteThanks for stopping by. As you can see, the problem is still be deviling me.
Do what you can when you can, Fred. Computers are meant, I think, to drive us crazy now and then. I wish I had the know-how to help you, but - HA!
ReplyDeleteYvette,
DeleteThanks for stopping by. Yes, I do believe that you are right.
It's a distraction though from lesser problems such as climate change, global terrorism, the Republican candidates for the president, and similar minor annoyances.
Fred,
ReplyDeleteI assume you are signed in (see upper right corner of webpage for your blog) when you try to comment. That happened to me before (not being able to coment) after I cleared all my cookies and cache. After I signed into Blogger, it worked like before. I would think you'd have to be signed in, though, to write a blog entry. Just a suggestion, in case it's something easy.
Cheryl,
DeleteThat's the perplexing part. I am signed in and I can create a new post, edit it, and also delete it if I want. I can't respond to comments here with the PC. However, I can respond with my small tablet, as I'm doing now.
And, why this blocks me from responding on other blogs, but not on others is also most confusing.
Thanks for stopping by.

Fred,
ReplyDeleteIn your pc internet browser, check the settings and make sure you allow cookies from third parties. I found info on the Blogger Help Forums, where someone had the same problem as you. When they enabled third party cookies, it worked and they could post. Hete is a link to that forum: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/blogger/pBWj_Iywj6A
I hope it works.
Cheryl,
ReplyDeleteYou are a genius and a life saver. I just allowed third party cookies from places I visited and voila!
Hooray! It worked! I'm no genius. I just know some tricks and places to look for help from my dealings with Yahoo Groups. I've found that Help Forums are more useful than Customer Service, lol.
ReplyDeleteCheryl,
ReplyDeleteAgain, thanks.
