Having trouble commenting?

By Becky McCray

One frustration at Small Biz Survival is hearing that you had trouble commenting. I want to share a few tips that can solve or at least work around some of those problems.

  • This problem seems to be especially common on iPad. Click “Post Comment” again immediately. It almost always goes through the second time.

Mac users:

  • For some reason, Mac users with Firefox are more likely to have a problem commenting. I hear that using Safari sometimes works better. I’m sorry about this problem with our commenting software.

Cookies:

  • Our commenting software uses a third party cookie. Setting your browser to allow third party cookies seems to clear up many comment problems. Not everyone is comfortable with accepting third party cookies, so use your own judgment.
