I am asking two of them now what browser and access they are using.

All they did is sign up to follow my blog with their email addresses I believe. (I'm assuming that does not make them "members"?) I think they use different types of browsers and things but I can certainly ask two of them in particular who are having problems. Because I write about Dancing With The Stars and the season hasn't really started yet, I have a bit of time to try to figure this out before EVERYONE has this happen and they get frustrated and stop commenting. The weird thing is that no one had problems last season and now they do. I will ask to see the answers to your questions. Thanks for hanging in there with me!

Are you able to provide their details such as how they are connecting to the internet and exactly which browsers they are using?

I'm still mystified as this link doesn't address the problems with my followers trying to sign in and I wish I was brighter about these issues, but I DO appreciate your time. Thanks again.

I can't explain why the site won't recognize their log ins and then times them out.

Now, none of them are able to sign in. They say that the site won't recognize their log ins and then times them out. Whats going on? I'm not computer literate at all so I can't intelligently answer their questions. Help!
