Cookies Disabled / The "Remember Me" Option Is Not Working

By
Starting in early June 2010, we have been getting a few reports from bloggers about disabled cookies
When I login to Blogger, I am getting a message that I have cookies disabled.

Blogger Sign In We found the following errors:

Your browser's cookie functionality is disabled. Please enable JavaScript and cookies in order to use Blogger.
Alternately, some bloggers report that "Remember Me" does not work, or that they have to sign in, each time they wish to post a comment to somebody else's blog.

The ongoing problem with blocked third party cookies is not unknown, and is most likely the basis for this symptom. The question right now is what has caused the blocked cookies.

One possible cause for the problem is changes to computers running in Microsoft Windows, since Tuesday of last week was Microsoft Patch Tuesday. It's possible that other companies are releasing significant updates on or before Patch Tuesday.

If you are seeing any of these symptoms, please help us to help you. Post diagnostic details, here or in the Rollup discussion.
  • When did the problem start?
  • What operating system does your computer run?
  • What browser(s) do you use, where you observe this problem?
  • What browser(s) do you use, where you do not observe this problem?
  • What add-ons / browser helper objects / extensions are installed in your browser(s)?
  • What personal firewall / anti-malware / anti-virus packages are installed in your computer?

I am one of the users who doesn't get the message about cookies or Javascript (both are already enabled), but the "Remember me" function does not work. The blog in question is private, if that makes a difference.

- I first noticed the problem 3 days ago.
- I am using Windows 7.
- I use Firefox 3.
- I have No-script, but all scripts are allowed on blogger and google products. Also, it is not installed in Chrome (nor is any other add-on), and I encounter the same problem using that browser. I also have FireFTP and Zotero in Firefox.
- I have McAfee VirusScan Enterprise.

Embedded Comments And Main Page View

By
The option to display comments, embedded below the post, was made a blog option relatively recently. This was a long requested feature - and many bloggers added it to their blogs, as soon as the option was presented to us. Some blog owners like this feature so much, that they request it to be visible when the blog is opened, in main page view. I would like all comments, and the comment form, to be shown underneath the relevant post, automatically, for everyone to read without clicking on the number of comments link. And this is not how embedded comments work.

With Following, Anonymous Followers Can't Be Blocked

By
As people become used to Blogger Following as just another tool to connect people, they start to think about the implications . And we see questions like How do I block someone who's been following my blog secretly? I couldn't see her in my Followers list (hence I couldn't use the "Block this user" link), but I have looked at her profile and could see that she's Following my blog. Following, when you look at the bottom line, is no more than a feed subscription and an icon (possibly) displayed on your blog, and linking back to the profile of the Follower in question. If someone Follows your blog anonymously, all that they get is a subscription to the blog feed. If you publish a feed from your blog, and if the feed is open to anybody (which, right now, is the case ), then it's open to everybody. If someone wants to use Following to subscribe to the feed, you can't stop this. You can't block it before, or after, the fact. You can't Block w
