No one else has reported any problems.

Thanks.

This is a new thing due to some people being impersonated on wordpress.com.

See if your friend has a gravatar account.

She can click for a forgotten password and see if she gets one, and then login.

When I asked her to show me, she did go to my site, tried to enter a comment and was redirected to wordpress.com to set up an account or log in. She does not have a wordpress.com account. When I got home, I logged off my dashboard and viewed as a regular visitor. I was able to leave a comment as a test.

I checked my settings under general/discussion and the check box for "users must be registered and logged in to comment" is unchecked.

I don't want to loose any visitors. Could someone advise why this might be happening, and also send me a test comment?

Thanks in advance.
