Comments problem: a solution!
I know a lot of people around LJ are having troubles posting comments these days. It seems something went wrong in the new update of the site, and sadly we have to deal with the messes 'till they fix it.
But, for now, I have a very quick and useful tip for you.
If you get a message when posting comments saying that you need to type something first or if you get the annoying page with "Frank's nibbling the wires", it appears the problem is coming from special characters such as & bull ;(•), & hearts ;(♥), & diams ;(♦), etc... (without the spaces of course)
I've been personally unable to post comments for the past 3 days, but today after making sure my comments weren't containing any hearts and stuff, it works again like a charm.
Of course it doesn't resolve all the comments problems but a good amount of them seem to be coming from this.
Hope it'll help! ♥
