Can't Leave Comments

I've had my blog for about 4 years, but for 6+ months I have not been able to comment on my own Blogger blog or other's Blogger blogs when using my preferred browser, Chrome. 

I can do it in Explorer, so I wasn't too worried about the issue, but several people have emailed me lately and tell me that THEY cannot leave comments on my blog, either! I told one of them to try Explorer and it worked for her, too, meaning that Blogger is doing something Chrome doesn't like. Please look into this and fix it because so many people use Chrome!

(I've already double-checked that the comment settings are set to "anyone." If it matters, I also have 'no number verification' and 'no comment moderation' selected.)

Jenny, here is the story.
 
Embedded comments are the only kind with threading. Unfortunately, they require third-party cookies to work.
 
Many users block third-party cookies for security reasons. Safari blocks them by default. They can be unblocked, but some readers (1) don't know how or can't be bothered, and others (2) might legitimately chose not to.
 
So, there is no perfect solution, and bloggers like us are stuck with an imperfect choice.
 
I intend to leave feedback about this (orange button on dashboard); you might consider doing that too.

Please create your own posts rather than reply to other peoples support tickets/posts.

When posting please leave as much information as possible

eg Links to you blog, any error messages, steps to reproduce the issue, the browser and device you are using, any relevant screenshots to show the issue.

Same here -- it's completely irritating.

Hi Jenny
 
The reason behind not able to comment on your own blog is your restricted google settings.You have BLOCKED THE COOKIES FROM THE THIRD PARTY SITES in the google SITE SETTINGS.
Immediately you allow that you will be able to publish your comments in your blog. I faced the same issue in my blog <https://perkyjerkyhunch.blogspot.com/> and now I am able to reply my commenters. 

Thanks

I just created a blog within the past two weeks.  Almost immediately my sister-in-law posted a comment and I answered back.  Another friend today tried to post a comment and it was never published.  I have it so that anybody can post there.  What's worse is another friend commented on over 30 of my blog updates and none of them showed up either.  Now what is confusing is that I had my son try to post to my blog and it published his today and I could reply.  I had my husband try and it worked, too.  Why would this work for some and not for others.  So frustrating for people to spend the time to comment and it doesn't show up.

What worked for me was telling my friends to turn on sync for their google accounts in settings. Settings can be accessed through the three dots on the top right of your screen. This only works on google so if they are using another thing like Yahoo then I don't know how to help.

Just use Disqus comments. I know that they're not so clean looking, but there're no other way.
