Been a while since I visited the site. I ran into a few bumps while commenting, don't know if these are new features or bugs but they are very annoying.

My comments appear as pending sometimes randomly, when they are pending they almost never go through.

If I refresh the page my pending comments disappear completely and I can't edit or delete them.

Sometimes refreshing the page or force refreshing the page (Ctrl + F5) the comment section would disappear altogether.

I'm using Firefox 31.0 on Windows 7 if that makes any difference.

They're looking into an alternative to LiveFyre. It's just no good.

The pending part is if a word you used got flagged by their word filter. It means that it needs mod approval to be seen by everyone. Otherwise it will remain pending forever. Look for curse words. There is no complete list of words for the filter and mods won't tell us them. So it'll be trial and error.

As for the comments disappearing, its as easy as logging out and logging back in. It almost always fixes it for me.

That would be the best thing they'd do. The old commenting system was perfect, don't know why they ditched it for livefyre.

That's an absolute pain to do. I've sent different comments several times, some where pending and never appeared afterwards and some just disappeared outright even though they weren't pending.
