Posting Comments on YouTube Videos

[Harry]

Is anyone else having trouble getting a comment to post on a video? When I try it, the text changes from black to gray and it just sits there with no action. The comment is never posted.

This is not to be confused with "moderated" posts where the comment has to be approved by the video owner. I have tried Firefox and IE6 with the same result.

Edit: (found this on YouTube...)
Solve a Problem: Comment not appearing on video


There is a slight delay for comments to appear on a video once they're posted. When you post a comment, if the tab grays out and reads "Comment Posted!" this means your comment has been posted. If you refresh your page, the comment should show up right on top as the most recently posted comment.

If the grayed out tab reads "Comment Pending Approval," this means that the uploader of the video needs to approve the comment before it is posted on the site. If the user declines your comment, removes it, or doesn't actively approve it, your comment may not appear.

If you don't see either of these messages, but see the grayed out "Post Comment" button, this means your comment hasn't been posted. You may want to try posting your comment again using variations of the original comment. Also, make sure you don't add any special characters, URLs, or HTML tags to your comment text. Finally, make sure the comment text is within our 500 character limit.

Please note, you won't be able to comment on a user's video or profile page if that user has blocked you.

Must be because I was trying to post a link.
