I tried Firefox a couple of years ago and had some issues with it (can't recall the specifics now) so removed it. I have never tried Chrome and have no plans to do so. I also have a couple of email address for personal correspondence and all others. I read not only this post but all the comments and have not had a similar issue. I have had bloggers tell me that are unable to follow my blog, and I don't have a solution. I have a reading list in bookmarks and use that to access and read blogs.Beatrice P.

It is slightly odd given that I said that I had read your last post but had been puzzled and had come away without commenting.

It came out of the blue and she could find no way of getting herself back in again. It seems that we bloggers are nowhere near alone from what I was then told. I am back using Firefox but have had to keep Chrome alive as the easiest way to get into my Google accounts on my phone at the moment. <br /><br />I only have Apple so I have to make it work.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-46109317192868638422021-10-26T12:10:52.440+01:002021-10-26T12:10:52.440+01:00Well that was a waste of time . . .
Morning Graha...Well that was a waste of time . . .<br /><br />Morning Graham, thought I'd drop you a quick update. I went through the rigmarole of adding Chrome to the iPad and signing in to Google. And I am definitely "in" Google because I can see the Admin page of my own blog, edit posts, etc. But if I go to view my own blog, or yours, or anyone else's I cannot comment. Extreme top-right of the screen is the irritating "sign-in" link and when I click on it I go directly to Blogger's "manage blog" area, and seem to bypass the sign-in screen. So Chrome has been summarily deleted. Firefox remains the only way I can leave comments, and only when accessed via OSX. Nothing seems to function in iOS, and I'd love to know if/when any of your friends solve that one.<br /><br />Hope you are feeling better. x Bag End Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190496929132717769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-72014493484718660942021-10-26T12:09:59.733+01:002021-10-26T12:09:59.733+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bag End Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190496929132717769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-87718743785748955212021-10-26T05:40:09.767+01:002021-10-26T05:40:09.767+01:00My apologies for being very remiss in commenting o...My apologies for being very remiss in commenting of late...for a week or so I was without phone, internet and streaming services.<br /><br />I'm considering reverting to tom tom drums, smoke signals and carrier pigeons!!<br /><br /><br />Take good care, Graham.<br />So now I'm catching up reading blogs...I've a lot of running to do! :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-35088351567234825582021-10-23T11:43:19.386+01:002021-10-23T11:43:19.386+01:00Well, Diane, the problem seems to be common but ra...Well, Diane, the problem seems to be common but random and inconsistent when it comes to which browser is in use.

I.e. I tend to forget how I solved things last time they happened! I don't do much blog commenting from the phone as I'm usually at home snd it's easier to use the bigger devices. I can't recall that thing with a grey layer happening to me though.

A link asked him to provide proof of age by uploading a copy of his passport or driving licence. He won't be complying, not least because he has much in common with the Urban Spaceman.
