Unable to post Comments in the MSN News Section

Two other people have asked the question as to why their Comments in the News Section of MSN do not post, they just remain in the Comment box.  I'm having the same problem and it started about 4 or 5 days ago.  Before that I was able to post comments.  I see 2 other people are complaining about the same issue.  I'm on a MAC and using Safari (which has not been a problem in the past).  Is it possible that MSN has put a BLOCK on our accounts denying us the ability to comment? Is it possible that MSN has put a BLOCK on our accounts to stop our ability to post? If that's the case we should be notified.

It appears that, evidently, MSN has no reason (idea) as to why this is happening and no resolution.

    I discovered this "community" because I was looking for the answer to this question (how to leave a comment on an article if I don't have a Flakebook or Twit account). Oddly, though there seem to be a couple of MS support folks who chime in here infrequently, they haven't responded directly to the question (above). And it even seems that members of the cabal are unable to post.

    As for Windows 10, it wasn't worth the trouble over 7. I've had some odd crashes, trouble with one of the updates, and inability to sort out how each of my windows devices can live together in the cloud. For a while, every time I fired up my notebook it kept trying to download all of the photos (8GB worth) that my phone and Surface Pro kept uploading to the heavenly cloud. Managed to stop that, but it really put a dent in my monthly data quota. And I somehow managed to sync all of my settings across devices, which I really didn't want to do.

    It might make more sense to upgrade from 8.1 than from 7, but even then I'd be disinclined to. Windows 10 seems designed for those who were scared off 8 by the unfamiliar appearance (new start screen and lack of a start button). MS is betting on their willingness to upgrade their aging W7 machine (or XP or whatever) for something that looks more comfortable to them than W8 did. Right now, I have two XP machines, a W7 notebook, this W10 notebook, a W8.1 Surface Pro2, and a Windows Phone running 8.1.  Tough to keep on top of when you're not in the computing field.

    August 2015 - I'm having this same problem of not being able to post comments to MSN News articles in the "Leave Your Comments" section.  It just started about a week ago.  I'm on an old Vaio laptop running Vista and using Chrome as my browser.  I've logged into Facebook and to MSN both individually and together, but still can't post.

    Windows 10  I find for me is much more enjoyable, you don't have those PESTY sides popping out at you the minute you accidently enter their "zone" area, that used to infuriate me, then when I needed it I had a hard time getting them to appear, UGH !  I so wish this problem with flash could be resolved it too,  is very frustrating and as you say, I don't like Face Book seems like it's a site for teens and people who need to have the world know your business to feel important, not for me.
