I have been trying to leave a note on a few people’s blogs but with some difficulty I’ll explain. Since last Saturday we have been without internet or landline service. A technician was supposed to come out yesterday but never showed up, and now Centurylink is telling me next Thursday. (Don’t ask.) All we have for communication is my cell phone.
There are a few blogs that I usually try to comment on or at least like. For some reason from my phone, WordPress makes me log in every time I try to comment or even like a blog. Then after I have logged in two or three times, it locks me out and tells me to come back in a few minutes. This afternoon I tried to explain this to a blogger in a comment hours after I had been online, and it still blocked me.
This is a long way of saying that I am still reading your blog even if you don’t hear from me for a.week or more. I don’t understand why WordPress is making me log in to like something since anyone can do that, but oh well.
So frustrating! I hope things get sorted soon. In the meantime, enjoy a short break from your online life, take advantage of it.
We’ll be here when you get back.
I will still be posting, because I already have my posts written for the near future. It’s just hard for me to respond to other people’s posts.
How frustrating that must be! I hope it gets all sorted out quickly!
I wish WordPress would get a grip.
Oh no, Kay. Not a good time to have this because Blogger is making trouble, as well. I haven’t seen any updates for over a week. And don’t get me started on WordPress, they seem to throw dice in order to know whether I can or cannot comment on their pages.
Good luck!
I’ve had trouble just reading some of the blogs on Blogger.
And we didn’t get any updates from anywhere. It was definitely Blogger that had the problems this time.
Whenever I try to do things on WordPress from a different device, I run into problems. I hope your connection issues get sorted out soon.
Thanks. They certainly don’t make it easy. When I am on vacation, I have used my iPad with no problems, but unfortunately not predicting this situation, when I bought my last iPad I didn’t select the phone capability because I didn’t see a reason for it. Now I know.
This is really bad! Is there no way you can change providers to get hooked up again quicker? I mean, threatening to leave a provider usually gets their butts in gear, and if not, taking your custom to another company might help. In any case, I’m really sorry to hear about this, and I hope you’re up and running again very soon. Take care, and all the best!
I would like to change but we wouldn’t get up any sooner, and my husband insists on staying because they’re cheaper and provide a landline. I would rather have good service, a bit of speed, and no landline.
Ah… well, to tell the truth, a landline isn’t bad to have. Mostly I only get bot calls, but it is useful when I misplace my cell phone (I’m getting old). But I am of the mind that you get what you pay for, so although my internet isn’t cheap, they’re VERY reliable, and I’ve had maybe two outages in the nearly six years I’ve been in this flat. With my old provider, it would go out at least once a month. Drove me batty!
Yes I would rather leave just the landline with this company since it’s the only option and switch the internet to something faster and that provides service.
If you can do that, it would be ideal. The land line on it’s own should be really cheap.
My husband does not agree with. He’s stubborn as a pig .
I really feel for you; been there and suffered that both with my internet provider and with wordpress (my problems became so bad I almost left the blogosphere. My “like” function still doesn’t work with many blogs & I have to sign in far too often) Kepping my fingers crossed that you’ll soon be glitch free!
I have no idea why they make you log in just to leave a like. I can see it for the comments, but when bloggers are used to hearing from me, I would like to at least be able to leave a like.
So frustrating! I hope it magically fixes itself!
The problem is most likely caused by my husband. He tried to fix it and made it worse, so I suspect it’s not coming back by itself. We are used to outages that usually only last a short while, so I waited a day before I called the provider.
Sorry about this. What a bore and nuisance these service providers are. Especially when they don’t provide a service. WordPress often inexplicably asks me to login to like or leave a comment on someone’s blog, even when I am already logged in.
Yep the other day I had to log in five or six times just trying to like or comment. So now I give up.
Sorry to hear this but also quite glad – I’d noticed you’ve been intermittent and hoped it wasn’t a health problem or anything, so I’m glad to hear it’s your computer that’s sick and not you! Hope it gets sorted soon. :D
How ghastly! I hope it is fixed soon – technology is great right up until it’s not.
Thursday at the earliest.
Can’t like that!
Boo hoo!
I’m sorry you’re having problems, I don’t know why these things suddenly come up; I have to log in randomly sometimes or it won’t let me ‘like’ something, it’s so annoying. Hopefully it will be sorted out soon
Yes the logins just to like are extremely annoying.
