In reply to: People can't leave a comment on my site: just blank squareThank you so much for your feedback and help.
You have given me a good starting point to be able to tackle things. It’s a bit hard to communicate with ISP, but I think the hosting provider might be helpful. Thanks for the links and the general support 🙂
Take care too

I’m afraid you’re dealing with a technology dimwit here – your last two messages have gone over my head – sorry. In the first you are asking where I got a link – if you mean the one I posted here earlier, it was the error message I got when I tried to access ‘leave a comment’ on my blog. I usually only see a blank square, but left this screen on for ages (making tea) and came back to find the error message. This is what used to happen if I tried to access my site AT ALL when it was hosted on wordpress.com. Nothing for ages and then finally an error message.
You are asking me to check something in the last message, but sadly I don’t understand what to do. Any chance you could rephrase into idiot-speak for me?
That would be cool – thank you 🙂

In reply to: People can't leave a comment on my site: just blank squareRight. Thank you, both of you.
I’ve tried hovering mouse over the empty square – just in case – but nothing.
Will try asking really smart devs of JetPack. I think, on balance, I would rather have the stats etc than not have them – I don’t know how many potential comment-leavers this situation would affect – I imagine It’s relatively few. It’s just annoying… the whole point of moving the site over was to answer the problems caused by this censorship – but I guess I have to accept that it couldn’t cure them all. Very frustrating. And my friend in China still can’t access the site at all. More politics I guess.
Many thanks for the advice offered. Am still open for further suggestions and will try sub-forum like you said. Thank you!

In reply to: People can't leave a comment on my site: just blank squareAh!
I think I have just figured out what’s going on.
One reason I moved across from wordpress.com to my own hosted site is that I am tired of not being able to access my own site because the Russian Government, assisted by certain ISP providers (including mine) have decided to block all wordpress.com sites just because there are a few that they don’t like.I got the following message (first time I’ve seen it) just now when I tried again:
Could not connect to remote server

Anything I can do about this do you think?
Again – many thanks for taking the time to read this and give it some thought.

In reply to: People can't leave a comment on my site: just blank squareThanks! I just noticed that your comment did arrive on my site.
Did everything look normal to you when you posted the comment? I assume that it did, otherwise you wouldn’t have been able to leave a comment.
Do you know why I only see a grey square? Is it because I am admin? (seems to happen even when I am not signed in and have used another computer)
Am happy that you were able to leave a comment but still confused. Perhaps it looks different on self-hosted site and I’m not used to it yet.
Any ideas?
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me understand this. It’s all a little daunting 🙂S
