FLASH: Commenting Changes


Good Afternoon All,

As you may know, Blogger has been having difficulties preventing SPAM onto our site over the past few weeks to the tune of approximately 1,200 SPAM comments per week hitting our inboxes. So because of this we had to take away Anonymous posting. 

This change also took away the option to post using only your name without being able to sign into any other commenting sites such as USER ID, LIVE JOURNAL, WORDPRESS, or AIM. We are aware that losing that option makes it difficult for our users to leave comments on our site. 

So....that being said, after a few days of HTML coding..... starting today we are launching integration coding that allows our users to leave comments using your Facebook profile. This option will appear at the bottom of every story as shown below:


We are still trying to have this option sync up with our recent comments widget so please be patient as we get the bugs out, but for the meantime, it should work perfectly fine for normal commenting and replying.

We hope that this change alleviates some of the difficulties had over the loss of the Anonymous comments and we hope to keep you engaged in conversations as much as possible.
