Is this working for anyone?

Since the application for the beta isn’t even closed yet, I suspect it’s simply not turned on.

Works for me.

Have you watched the video on the blog post yet ?

I had to watch it like 5 times to understand
how to use the feature. :(
(because his hand movements where kinda fast to fallow)

@vivian
Beta has been closed. The closed term just means
“invite only sign up”

According to the announcement here http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2008/10/24/comment-reply-via-email-closed-beta/ the beta wasn’t supposed to close until 6PM PST on 10/24. Right this minute, it is 5:38PM PST.

FYI – I’ve watched the video several times and although I am supposed to be “active” in the beta, I am not able to get it to work.

I would contact staff Vivian maybe something didn’t go through
when they invited you into the beta. They might have to fix a error
on there end

Okay thanks for the info Vivian, usually it means invite only
at least the other beta’s I’m a member of had that meaning.

I think it was timing. An earlier comment wouldn’t show the new “comment-reply” address but the last one I got did. I responded to it and I’m waiting to see my reply show up.

BTW – from reading the comments on the post I linked above, it appears they activated the beta in waves, as the posters responded. It is closed now.

That would make since to release the beta in waves so they can monitor
the server load & errors.

Yep saw the comment also.

Side note I’m really looking forward to the threaded comments. :)

I don’t know – I’m not a fan of threaded comments unless there is a way to tell the read/unread status. (And my reply by email isn’t working – my comments aren’t showing up. I’ve sent it to support.)

I was in the second group and yes I watched the video. What else is there to it than to reply? I already have things set to receive emails when I get a comment.

I just tried it again and the comment didn’t post.

I have a theory – do you by any chance have a different email address in your profile than you have in your admin area (settings>general)?

My last reply was in moderation.

Hmm – I was in the last group. My replies aren’t in moderation or spam.

Mine isn’t working. I was wondering do we have to have comments moderated before we are able to reply to the comment?
And when I reply my comment show up NOWHERE

I’m having the same problem of replying to the email address generated by wordpress and the comment not appearing anywhere. I’ve contacted support but not got a response yet.

Is anyone else still having this problem?

I tried it for the first time today, after I finally remembered to enable sending an email after each new comment. Unfortunately, my reply comment by email has not shown up on my blog.

So, no, it isn’t working for me.
