Jean / Hilary / Auntie,

This is a typical beta product, in the history of Blogger. What's unfortunate is that they installed it without an ability to not opt-in.

Hopefully, they will learn from this experience, and never again deploy a new feature without at least providing an "opt-out" setting.

If you want to opt-out, try tweaking the post template on your blog.

I did not make any changes, on my Comments. But Blogger installed this new *thing,* anyway.

Many of my Readers, now can NOT comment in my blog.

This is no great improvement, for me. Or for the other bloggers, who can not comment, in many blogs they read.

Hi Chuck .. I can't comment on blogs that utilise the two tier commenting set up ..

It's a pain - often I can't comment on embedded comments anyway - even if I change browsers back to IE from Chrome that I use everyday, the choice of name and URL don't appear.

Cheers Hilary

I have wanted this feature for the entire two years I've been blogging. Now it's here ... but not for me. Since Blogger added the feature, I have not even been able to access my dashboard and my blog locks up when I click on Comments on a post. Every time I attempt to access the dashboard I get a long ERROR: message that concludes with "Expect more errors." Needless to say, I am quite unhappy with Blogger!

And here I am wishing that I had two level commenting on this blog - and knowing that if I did, I would have way less comments to reply to.

Interesting points, Auntie.

You're not required to read the responses to your comments immediately - or at all. But if you comment, someone replies, and you reply without reading previous replies, you're just going to look like an idiot.

I guess it all boils down to - How much time do you have to participate?

I don't spend half the time that I could, replying to what gets said, so I guess I'm not a great example either.

There seems to be a number of issues with the new system. These include, the time/date format in the settings is not carried over into the new system, time zones aren't working properly across he world, and there are reported font problems and browser crashes. Clear for such a great idea it was fully tested.

Thanks for the test comments. For some reason it let me reply to your comment but won't let me reply to the other two on my page. Very strange.

I'm familiar with this, since LJ had it, years ago.

But.......... I do not have time to return to a post, once I have read it. So if the blog owner chooses to answer questions, right in the post comments, in which they were asked... It will do me no good.

I never return.

Oh I know, it can make for a fun bunch of threads... Again, who has the time to read through a fun bunch of comment threads?

Not I. Not any more...

Just my view....

Alanna,

The Buzz post specifically mentions the full feed requirement. That bothers me too - and when I'm awake I may explore that some. It appears to have been designed for use in the dynamic templates, though as tested it also works with the standard templates.

My guess is that it caused problems with dynamic template comments, with partial feed enabled. Does that make sense?

Krishna,

It's part of the embedded comment form, which is built into the standard post template. If your blog using a third party blog template lacks the standard post template, you'll want to refresh your post template.

Is it true that the feature only works for blogs which publish with a full feed?

If so, why would Blogger make such a decision?
