Trouble Commenting?

You may on occasion have difficulty getting TypePad to accept your comment, perhaps receiving a cryptic message such as "TypePad cannot accept this data". This usually means that the tab or window in which the comment was submitted has been open for too long, since TypePad rejects comments that it deems to have 'timed out' in this manner.

To get around the problem, simply copy your comment text, open the post you are responding to in a new tab or window and then paste the comment into the relevant box. Because the new tab has only just been opened, TypePad should accept the comment.

Apologies for any inconvenience this might cause!

Thanks Irina! This is in fact what I usually do; I make a copy of any comment before I try and click post, just in case...
