Comments Not Working? Please Help Test

Thanks everybody for checking. It's working now!

Hi, all,

I went in to add a comment to one of my posts (which I do the same way readers of this blog do --- go to the post and add a comment on the bottom.) The Post and Preview buttons are grayed out and won't 'push'. I've tried it in IE8 and Firefox, cleared the cache, even tried it on a second computer. (Weirdly, it does work from my phone.)

I'd appreciate it if anyone dropping on my here could check to see if it does or doesn't work for them as well. If it does work, then you can just leave a comment "Hey, works for me. I'm using (Firefox, IE, Safari) and am on (a Mac, Xp, Windows 7)." If you can't leave a comment, could you shoot me a quick email to davidk@beechwoods.net.

I've opened a support ticket with Typepad, but any info I can collect I'm sure will be helpful.

Thanks.

Looks like it is working with Safari (5.01) on a Mac (OSX 10.6.4).

Hey Dave,

Commenting seems to work (latest Firefox on a Mac running OS X), but it looks like your latest post on gas drilling disappeared.

Hi David,
Looks like the buttons are working. They were only grayed out until I
began typing. I'm using Safari and a Mac.

Hello Dave,

Did you read the recent stats from NAR that just came out at 10:00am?

See article below.

Add that FACT with proposed gas drilling my friend - and you have a continuing disaster for second homes in Sullivan County.

-------

Home sales plunge 27 pct. to lowest in 15 years

Previously occupied home sales sink 27 pct. to lowest level since 1995 as economy weakens

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sales of previously occupied homes fell to the lowest level in 15 years last month as the economy weakened.

The National Association of Realtors says July's sales fell by more than 27 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.83 million. It was the largest monthly drop on records dating back to 1968. June's sales pace was revised downward to 5.26 million.

I'm able to comment, however I noticed your article regarding "Off the Shale" is now gone. Was this intentional?

Yes, I took that post down. I got a lot of emails yesterday asking my opinion about the "drilling impact risk" of specific properties, or what were the factors they should consider when trying to gauge the potential impact on drilling on a particular property. I realized that how I think about different properties involves quite a bit of interpretation based on information I pick up and piece together from here and there. The point I was trying to make in that post is that impacts are likely to vary among the county, but I saw from the comments posted and the emails I received, that it was moving in the direction of coming up with some type of "scoring" system. Until the DEC comes out with it's rules, and leasing activity starts again, so there is a sufficiently large sample size to reverse engineer the criteria that gas companies may be using in Sullivan to decide on where to lease or drill, there's a lot of 'hunch' involved.

I certainly have my opinions, and am quite willing to share them with my clients. But I wasn't that comfortable with the direction that a public online discussion was heading. Nobody asked me to take the post down, not even hinted that I should, even a couple of the other Realtors I chatted with.

Occasionally I post something, and after it bangs around for a day, it just doesn't sit right.
