Here's the fix!
I thought you had all lost that loving feeling. I wasn't getting many comments
If you are not getting many comments
If you can't leave a comment
If you are visiting a blog and the pages are freezing
Here's the problem and the fix
Blogger introduced a new feature for people who use the imbedded comment format (As opposed to those who have a pop up or full page comment boxes). Everything got messed up and they have not yet been able to fix it.
Some people who comment with Internet Explorer (Not those using Safari or Firefox) on a post with imbedded format, are not able to comment. If they search other pages in your blog the pages freeze
Here's the work around as they do not yet have a fix
Change your comments to "Pop up" or "Full Page". Go to Dashboard>Settings>Comments> And change it
If you are unable to comment on a blog, let the blog owner know to change her settings to "Pop up" for comments. I am sure many blogs have no idea this is going on as they are still receiving some comments from people that don't use Internet Explorer
Geez, it sure would have been nice of Blogger to let us know this was a problem! I found it by searching forums

Hi Velma
I have made the change you have suggested. Hopefully this will fix the problem. I have had a few people tell me they are having problems with my blog. I am new to blogging so this is all sooooooooo confusing to me. Thank you for your help.
It works! WhooHoo!
Thank You!
I read about this on Blogger Buz and fixed mine about a week ago. Thanks for sharing, there are still quite a few of my followers I'm having a hard time commenting on.

Thank you for this link Velma, I had no idea this was a problem until Lois (The Huckleberry Lady) told me she couldn't comment on my blog and directed me to your site. Thank you and is it OK if I share your link on my blog as well in case others are having the same problem? Deb
This is great that you have a solution to this. Thanks to both of you, I will pass the news.
Blessings,
Susie

Thank you for posting this. Very interesting. I will now go and thank Carol too. giveaway over at mine http://busybutterfingers.blogspot.com/2012/01/pay-it-forward-giveaway.html
We've posted on this before because a blogging friend brought it to our attention. We use Firefox so could leave comments where the friend couldn't. Most bloggers were glad to know there was a problem and made the change.
We're glad to see others posting on the problem so more bloggers become aware.
Actually, it's not a Blogger issue but rather an issue with Internet Explorer. You see, a lot of Blog Hosts, including Blogger, are now including the new HTML5 coding and Internet Explorer sees it as an error. It's Microsoft who need to get their act together and get with the times. Firefox, Opera, Chrome all upgrade regularly so they recognise HTML5 coding hence no issues with them. When my blog is viewed in Internet Explorer, the footer completely disappears and people can't expand my 'Show All' blog lists. Why? IE sees the HTML5 coding as an error and won't load it. Yet, there are no issues with my blog when viewed through all other browsers.
Thank you for this. Posted your link in my blog to spread the word.
What is very irritating about all this is that I have been having similar problems in Chrome - which is supposed to be the best browser to use. You would have thought that Google could get all their platforms to work together!
