I've been blogging since January, 2012. Things have gone smoothly for me. Recently I ran into trouble when I attempted to reply to a comment made on one of my blog posts When I hit "publish" it appeared that my message was being posted but it just disappeared.
I didn't think much of it until I tried to reply to another comment on my blog. I realized that something had changed and this problem was not going to go away on it's own. After a whole lot of research I figured out that by changing my comment location from "embedded" to "full page" my ability to post comments returned. Unfortunately, this took away my ability to "reply" to comments.
Next, I researched ways to get "reply" back and found a nifty 3 step method that included modifying html code. I followed the directions to a T but it didn't work. It is possible that I did something wrong during this process. Several bloggers commented that it didn't work for them either but more bloggers were thrilled with the results. In the end, I decided not to add this option to the blog. It turned out that adding reply with this method was not ideal. The reply appears under the very last comment made. Instead of having the option of commenting, I would have the option of commenting OR replying. This means that I'd be replying out of order, not attached to a specific comment. In essence, I'd be commenting under a Reply label. What I really want to do is reply to a specific comment.
If anyone out there knows how I can fix this, please feel free to comment. I'll reply to your comment, however you may have to scroll to find my response.
