You've promised to fix your problems and become reliable before and you've disappointed me. I love you though Jezebel and I believe that this time, tech rehab will work. Don't disappoint me again!

Logging out and then back in helped somewhat.

ok well I went through another ip address to make things work.

Log out, close your browser, clean your cache/cookies, then reopen your browser and log back in. That should help.

@Pinkosaurus: Thing is, we have no control over tech issues - at ALL - so we can only pass on problems to the tech people and have them work to resolve them. Sorry!

I've been having trouble in Firefox, but not Safari or IE. I'll have to try the cache/cookie thing on Firefox, I guess.

It is lonely when you leave me, Jezebel.

Also, you all missed out on my thoughts on Paris Hilton belly dancing and a fun story about my libido. Your loss.

@Anna: I too have a tech/IT dept., I think anyone who does knows you're at their mercy, no worries! Frustrating for you though, I know....

I thought you didn't like me anymore.

OMG YAY! No more comment eating monster!
@Anna: Does Gawker have their own dedicated IT team? Any job openings? B/c if this happened on the websites my department maintains, the business side would have lit us on fire by now.

@cate3710: I'm doing okay in Firefox, but I had to open a new window and clear everything before it worked.

@hamburgerhotdog: Now you know how eggs feel!

Time to get a faster hamster.

I had trubs in IE, Safari, AND Firefox - and that was even after the clearing history/cookies/cache song-and-dance. I was so scared that I emailed the editrices to see if I had been axed for my Cheeto Pubes comments yesterday. And they were super-nice! I love you, Jez!

Thank the Gawkergods that we are back! :D

test 123

YAY!

@hortense: I have now cleared the cookies, and it appears to have solved the problem. Thanks!

@cate3710: Thank ineffable.me, she's the one who gave me the tip!

@hamburgerhotdog: Me too. I was having total anxiety issues over it too. Like OMG what have I done?!?!

It's been practically a vacation to only have to wade through 20-30 comments rather than 200+ however.

*tries to comment after logging out/in, cleaning cachebag, and all that jazz*

I was paranoid that my job had discovered how much time I spend doing this and had cut me off.

@whoneedslight: I never understand this complaint. Couldn't you just read the first 20, if you don't want to read 200? Or are you searching for something?

@zivah: EXACTLY what I thought! Phew!

@hortense: I sometimes see eggs on the side but I refuse to commit to a real relationship with them.

If you don't read it all, you end up reposting exactly the same thing that 20 people have already said and that just adds to the clutter. I like reading the posts and the comments, the site isn't just about putting in my two cents. The repetition is what gets me down.
Not bashing, just saying.

@zivah: Because you need to know what's going on in the discussion.

I love it when there are only 40-50 well-thought, well-written comments. Makes for a great read.

I was in tears with my inability to comment. Now I have tears of joy. YAY!

I'm trying this again.

THANK GOD.

@BowlingForDollars: I like the 40-50 comment threads too, because it usually means that everyone who's posted actually put some thought into what they were saying, and that the topic wasn't so inflammatory that everyone just leaped into mindless flamewar mode.

Though the flames can be hysterical as well. Has rsr26 started any bicker-fits lately?

@zivah: My problem is generally that I can't stop reading the comments once I start, and then it's suddenly an hour later. Many a Monday has disappeared this way.

@skittlbrau = baa: I KNOW! I went to bed last night with my stomach in knots! I was like "But...but Jez! My JEZ. I can't post on my Jez!"

test?

oh, a-woman. Sorry to clutter, y'all. It's just I've been trying for 90 minutes now to post, but I fear the moment is lost now.

@cate3710: Yes! I've lost so much work productivity since Jezebel started.

@zivah: @cate3710: I too fear a Jezaddiction as well.

@whoneedslight: If you think it's bad here on Jezabel, go over to "TheKnot" sometime. Seriously, every day (to THIS day, I've peeked back there since getting married)has the same, like, four topics... 1) What are you doing for a first dance 2)Is it REALLY tacky to have a cash bar 3) How do I tell my parents I can't invite all their friends 4) What ceremony music are you having 5)Complaining about someone being a bitch

ahhhh i can finally post!! jezebel you left me hanging at the worst time when i needed to defend myself and my comments yesterday and then i felt like a douche for being misunderstodd. i was literally thinking about it all night and couldnt get to sleep for fear that other jez commenters thought i was a huge asshole.

i thought id been executed yesterday!!!

thank god you're back, i missed you.

@whoneedslight: agreed. All the "omg we must be twins! I am just like you!" comments that no one else needs to hear, and the "Word. Nothing else to add." comments that take up space. Nothing turns me off more than stuff like that. Either contribute something meaningful or funny, or don't contribute at all!

Whew. I thought it was just my computer being whacky.

@Elisheva: i seriously thought i'd been "executed" and that my work day would NEVER be the same. i was very sad.

My only worry is accidentally repeating myself.

My only worry is accidentally.. oh SNAP.

My only worry is accidentally... oh, SNAP.

thank god this was your IT department and not my IT department. would have been sad if they took away commenting (which is discouraged in our employee handbook)

Oh, duh, I just posted about this somewhere else It was driving me nuts not being able to comment last night. I want to adore Steff too!

My comments are going though now, comments weren't working for me since yesterday...thanks for fixing it Jezzies...

I was worried it was something I said....

When's 11am eastern? [aka can I comment yet?]

WAHOO!

test

so here's the deal, before typing anything in the comment box, uncheck the "preview comment" button. that's what worked for me.

I hope you gals here at Jezebel treat your IT to some womanly goods. All IT staff love free cookies. Except for the diabetic and peanut-allergic amongst them :D

Lets see if this works...I do not have a dirty cachebag!

shit, i jsut lost a good comment on crappy hour because it didn't work.

test?

@cde: Actually, I bet your IT is in another state. NY I think. Never mind :P

@BowlingForDollars: exactly. i don't have time to read the THOUSANDS of comments that are posted here every day, and I find I usually miss some great discussion.

I am just glad that I didn't actually post my comment last night 25 times. I'm sure you're all fascinated that I wanted to be a school bus when I grew up, but probably not THAT much.

Testing....testing?

@violettefay:

I was aiming for a pre-emptive strike against the Pretty in Pink by Dolls post that was inevitably going to be four pages of Blaine v. Ducky v. Steff v. Jake Ryan which is how any John Hughes themed post eventually devolves on Jezebel.

And imagine how shocked and pleased I was by the restraint, by not having the same played out conversation for the 50th time, we are finally learning from our mistakes!

But alas. It was just technical malfunction.

Hellooooo? I think I'm still screwed.

@blondegrlz: As long as it is not testing on animals...

@Trashtastic Is Disillusioned: Well my cache is clean...

@jenalicious: Let's try not to spread the "E-word" around... it makes some of us nervous.

@tscheese: SHHHH!!!

Don't invoke his name!

@NefariousNewt: I'd kill a small furry woodland creature right now if it meant my comments came back. I'm a wicked woman.
