I have recieved complaints from my blogger friends blogging on Wordpress, Typepad and other such platforms, not being able to leave comments on my site. I havent touched my template nor done any changes on my blog or its design. I am not understanding what exactly is the problem 
Is anyone else facing similar problems in blogger?
Can any wordpress/typepad user here confirm this to me? And if the problem indeed exists, then can someone help me out on the solution?

Are only wordpress and typepad users facing problems or even blogspot users??
The problem might be from Google Blogger side, it is known to behave strangely from time to time!!
Just a thought though, need more expert advise on this.
Agree with Ds , Google blogger behaves strange
@Dhiraj
hmm, true... Guess then I shud just wait...
What else can you do! Change the comment form, thats an option.
Thanks a lot DS :)
I am not sure what exactly is the problem but i got a comment from one of my wordpress readers, quoting -
"blogger won't allow me to post on OPEN ID or by clicking on Wordpress. The only way I can comment on blogspot today is via NAME URL." Dated Oct 3!
And I got one more complaint from a typepad user regarding this same problem.
Now what can I do, am clueless abt it If anyone has a solution, pls help 
You are welcome Arti, but your problem still persists...
Arti, why don't you try Disqus as a commenting option like I have on my blog?
I dont like disqus...
Cant comment from mobile, loading time increases, google does not search the disqus comments... There are many disadvantages of it.
Hey Vinay, since you have a wordpress blog, you can help me out! Try commenting on my blog from your wordpress id. Just a test comment to check whether your comment is getting through, type in anything... I will delete it. Just to check this issue.
Disqus, Facebook comments, etc. which are either AJAX or IFRAME based have a major demerit that they are not indexed in search engines along with your page.
Yep, I had read this somewhere that search engines dont recognize comments on disqus and that was also one of the prime factors that kept me away from it.
Nice little info on disqus. Thanks for sharing Arti and Susam:)
Blogspot has bug, with word verification sometimes, and if it is linked with Disqus than it is slow process, luckily i did not select the same. I believe it is because blogspot is constantly upgrading that may be the precise reason
Might be, Umeshji! Will know more on this when I put up my next post.
Hey Arti, the bug/error is not actually a bug/error I think. 
Wordpress users need to be logged in to their account for posting a comment using Wordpress openID. In the sense, if they comment on Blog using openID when not logged in, the site redirects saying you need to log in first. If you are logged in, it'll ask if the user trusts Blogger.com with identity and then continue to post comment I've put a test comment for your blog... I think it'd have come in 5n..
My head is spinning now 
Yes Vinay, got your comment but I have finally changed the comment form from 'embedded below post' to 'pop up window' on the request of one of my typepad blogger friend. Hopefully, I will receive no more complains now. Thank you so much for your time and your comment I so appreaciate it
So you finally changed the comment form.
Checked out the new comment form, works good.
