Basicly, Whenever i try to post a comment, I go thru all the effort of typing in a comment, Then click "Post comment", and it just sits there with the "Post comment" button greyed out. This has been happening for a while, but ive ended up pulling out every last inch or my hair over it. Half the time i end up typing the same comment out 4 times, As i end up forgetting to do a ctrl-a,ctrl-c. Has anyone else had this problem?

Try clearing your browser cache perhaps.

This happens to me as well, but I think the comment still goes through.

I just tried it again, and it does not go through.

Does the actual button change its text to "comment posted!" when you click it? If not, I have no idea what that could be.

Also, does this happen with just any video? As some have comment approval on them, meaning your comment won't show up straight away.

Nope, it simply greys out and changes to "Posting comment....". Ive tried leaving it for an hour, but it wont post. I can post as reply to some comments, but not others. It also seems to depend on the time of day.

Are you using anything that blocks or modifies scripting/pages, like noscript or adblock?

This has happened to me before, but only in firefox. Also, a similar thing happens if you post a comment after very long since last refresh. So a refresh helps sometimes, before writing any comments.

sounds like you have issues with javascript/ajax. i noticed stuff like this in firefox on windows 7 with any website that used ajax.
