bx-o3qgph

The dragon eating up its own tail has been since the Egyptians and Plato the symbol of  the universe renewing itself from its own matter. From today, however, it is also the symbol of Blogger which eats up its own tail, the comments. The name of the problem is bX-o3qgph, and complaints with this error code have been arriving at the emergency forum of Blogger since the end of May, but Blogger’s owner Google has hitherto left them without any reply or solution whatsoever. Today, however, the issue has culminated. It seems that now Blogger does not display any comment posted with a Google identity any more, but swallows them all in the air.
Nevertheless, you can still send comments to Blogger either anonymously, or by choosing the option Name/URL and typing your name. So if you send a comment to Río Wang, watch whether it gets displayed. If not, send it again anonymously, and then it will most probably appear. In the meantime we are keeping an eye on the watchdogs specialized on the problem, and waiting them to give a signal when the dragons will have retired and commenting returned into its old course.
This has been annoying the shit out of me all day, so my heartfelt thanx for working out a way around it & Blogger - how about getting YOUR shit together! 
UPDATE:
Now the anon comments aren't getting thru the shitstem either...
and Blogger's forum is running VERY hot!!!
UPDATE #2:
Looks like things are finally resolving themselves!

My thanx go to Studiolum who originally posted the above at his blog!

  1. Although Blogger's forum has not yet indicated anything positive, comments have started to get through to me (e.g. yours sent to this post).
