I just tried to post (haven't cleared my cookies or cache) and it let me. Weird, but good. Hopefully it'll continue to work! Thanks for your help. :)

Specifically, what is the URL of the blog you're trying to comment on, and what username or email address are you entering?

Yeah, that's the thread I read. It doesn't answer my question though. I get an error message when I try to post. I can't post, because wordpress says I'm not logged in. But I am logged in. I'm logged in right now!

This doesn't happen to me on all blogs (so far) just a few. WordPress just refuses to believe I am already logged in!

Hello,

I saw that this was discussed previously and then closed, however I still can't figure it out.

I am currently logged into wordpress and I STILL can't leave comments. What gives? Every time I try to comment on another wordpress site I get the following: ERROR: Invalid email or username. Lost your password?

No. I haven't lost my password. I've changed it a million times now, and my email and username isn't invalid, and I know this because...uhm....I'm logged in. It says "hello Kelly" in the top corner for goodness sakes.

It's really frustrating not to be able to leave comments on the blogs I read. And, maybe I'm stupid - but why can't you access your reader from your own blog's dashboard? Or can you? I don't understand why I have to log in to wordpress in a separate window to look at my reader. That in itself was annoying, but not being able to post comments on my friend's blogs is infuriating.

Please help. I know I am logged in. I can see that I'm logged in. So why is wordpress telling me I'm not and am invalid? :(
