Is anybody else having trouble leaving a comment? I’m able to to participate in the general discussions and repairs, but the blogs are giving me problems. ---

@cdaquila Any ideas? It doesn’t matter if I use Internet explorer, google, etc. I just can’t leave comments ---

Firefox adblocker and ghostery works for me, but replying to a poster that cant post is kind of confusing. ---

Can you describe for me what happens when you try? Like, break it down for me like I’m a kid. Does the button not work? Does it give you an error? etc etc. are the rest of you having problems? ---

@cdaquila The button works . . . to a degree If I hit “join the discussion” . . . it takes me down to the bottom of the page. But there’s no “Leave a Comment” box ---

@cdaquila As the others have stated, I’ve also noticed that there have been absolutely no comments for a few days now. Therefore, I suspect it’s not just me having the problem. ---

I think it it is you having a problem, see previous post,as I see new responses at every refresh, install firefox as I have to assume you are using internet explorer [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/?f=28&utm\_expid=71153379-28.ZuzIY8GHTdmX0QtrDFcQLQ.2&utm\_referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%3Fp%3Dfirefox%26ei%3DUTF-8%26fr%3Dmoz35](http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/?f=28&utm_expid=71153379-28.ZuzIY8GHTdmX0QtrDFcQLQ.2&utm_referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%3Fp%3Dfirefox%26ei%3DUTF-8%26fr%3Dmoz35) I banned internet explorer so long ago, maybe 12 years, I consider IE a virus. ---

I have the same problem, no visible discussions, no way to add a comment. I imagine firefox works, but it should work with IE, too. ---

IE should not be used, you fail to understand the vulnerabilities and potential system wide damage, German government tells public to stop using Internet Explorer [http://news.cnet.com/8301-10805\_3-57515312-75/german-government-tells-public-to-stop-using-internet-explorer/](http://news.cnet.com/8301-10805_3-57515312-75/german-government-tells-public-to-stop-using-internet-explorer/) Sure that is a year old but I administer security for 40 plus computers and only allow ie for certain websites that require it. ---

@Barkydog I understand what you are saying However . . . I am using google As for IE . . . tons of people use it You can’t expect everybody to switch over to Firefox And you can’t expect everybody to share your opinion ---

I’ve tried on both Firefox and IE (Don’t use Internet explorer as much, but some sites work a little better on it) no comment box for awhile now [Next page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/why-cant-i-join-the-blog-discussions/82553.md?page=2)
