How horrid. Th...Hi Daff — I'm sorry about that. How horrid. That used to happen to me before I changed the settings to have every comment moderated, so nothing could just be automatically published but had to be checked by me. <br />Your blog is Google Blogger, same as mine. If you sign in and select "Settings" from the sidebar on the left, then from the list that comes up select "Posts, Comments and Sharing", then scroll down to "Comments" on the page that comes up, and look for "Comment Moderation". Select "Always". That will create a situation where no one can add a comment without you first seeing it — only you can publish comments. <br />Then you will have to make sure you see the comments otherwise none of them will get published!<br />In the same place in your Settings where you set Comment Moderation to Always, a little further down is a box where you can put your email address so you are notified of comments awaiting moderation. Once you enter and submit your email address you'll be sent an email to verify that you want these notifications. <br />In the past I've found the notifications on Blogger distinctly haphazard, so I now always sign in and select "Comments" to see what's languishing there awaiting moderation.<br />If you already did all this and Spam is still sneaking in, then my apologies for lecturing you, and commiserations. It is a broken world . . . xPen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-65316381294829407002020-01-27T01:05:59.931+00:002020-01-27T01:05:59.931+00:00Hi Pen

It was nice to reconnect on Facebook for a while, where I found several friends I love dearly and am out of touch with otherwise — but it was all too much of a maelstrom and I backed out again. So I just see you here when you come by.

My email is available on my blog, on my profile page (just click on 'Lynda" at the bottom of my posts).<br /><br />So if you have anything profound to say, you can email it to me and I will copy and paste it to my blog comments. <br /><br />Next time I'm talking to my son (my IT expert) I will ask about the comments problem. xx Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372513528828334944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-5774911235486308412020-01-22T09:06:56.242+00:002020-01-22T09:06:56.242+00:00About the problem being from my end, yes, I think ...About the problem being from my end, yes, I think it may well be. I can't get to the root of it. When I comment on some blogs it just goes through fine. On others, it appears to be going through — I fulfil the requirements for commenting, and when I press "publish" it comes up to say "publishing" — and then vanishes. That's what happens to me on your blog. I'm not sure what to do to fix it. But don't worry about it, I'm just puzzled and exploring what to do, not expecting you to change a system you like. xPen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-35503247662816885302020-01-22T09:03:13.625+00:002020-01-22T09:03:13.625+00:00Thank you, Lynda — yes, I'm just checking what...Thank you, Lynda — yes, I'm just checking what's happening. I don't think I have your email address, but there's nothing special I wanted to say — I signed up for notifications from the lady in your latest post btw — it's just I don't want you to think I never bother reading your blog. Commenting is just a friendly way of waving, really. <br /><br />If people can't comment, how would they let you know they can't comment, if you see what I mean? This is why I'm trying to dig into this problem, because I'm discovering there were people in different parts of the word who wanted to ask me things and couldn't get in touch.<br /><br />I had that paragraph in my side-bar telling people if they wanted to correspond they should leave their email address in a comment and I'd get back to them — never realising that they couldn't because their comments didn't go through!<br /><br />Anyway, waving from England and I love your blog. xPen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-10306050213961980962020-01-22T05:15:39.531+00:002020-01-22T05:15:39.531+00:00Hi Pen, there are no comments from you on my blog...Hi Pen, there are no comments from you on my blog :(<br /><br />No, I don't receive email notification, but I do check my blog every couple of days and approve any comments that have come in.<br /><br />I've not had anyone else say they can't comment, so maybe the problem is from your end? I prefer the way my comments are set up, on the same page as the post, rather than in a separate pop up box.

Do you go into your settings and check there what comments have been left, or wait for email notifications?
