Blogger is at it again

Some of you have been telling me that they are getting Word Verification in the comments, that pesky "prove you're not a robot" thing. I do have WV turned off in my settings, so I don't know why some are getting that. I have tried one other thing, changing my settings from registered users to anyone can comment. Let me know if that helps!

On my mobile phone I don't see it and it doesn't appear to show up on my computer as well. Perhaps it's only certain browsers?

For whatever it's worth, I have not had a repeat word verification since the one time I clicked through to your blog via Bloglovin. I really think it may be a third parties doing, not Blogger. I read something about it somewhere...I'll let you know if if I come across the info again.

The difference may indeed be in the browser (or version) or wherever those getting word verification are clicking through to get to your blog, or various other things...

The majority are likely getting through just fine. The only way to know is to eliminate possibilities by asking a lot of questions to those having trouble..ok, this kinda makes me miss my old job!!

These are my setting under posts and comments: Comment Location: Popup Window, Who can comment? Registered Users, Comment Moderation: Never, Show word verification: No, Show back links: Hide, Comment Form Message: Add

I know it's frustrating, hope this helps a little :/

Same thing I have in my settings Aurora only I have comment moderation on posts over 14 days old so that I don't miss comments on old posts.
I think it must be in the browsers. If I check my blog on my computer at work I get the robot thing- but I use Google Chrome there just as I do here, so I am at a loss to figure it out.

I had trouble in the past when I did not have chrome, seems that is the usual issue

I am using Google Chrome and there is no word verification. If people that have a problem tell you what browser they are using it may help:)

I reported it to Blogger, so hopefully they will sort it out, but don't hold your breath!

Saw something about changing comment setting to "embedded" rather than "pop up". I just tested it on mine and it seems to be working. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!
