Is there a trick?

I just went to one of my stories and submitted a test comment. I'm logged in, so I had the option to post with my account name or as anon. All I did was fill in the field and submit. Simple - I use a Kindle as my reader - I wonder if your problem is device dependent?

Test comment published after an hour or so, and flagged as an "Author" comment. That's new, and useful for those who engage with readers in the Comments (which I occasionally do, if there's a direct question - usually, "Do you have plans to continue this story, I hope so."
