   As per AxleAddict live status, I visit the site on day one.                          I did visit again and  again after log out from facebook, or any other website.                         I didn't use email or code. The system just recognized me. Have anyone there experiencing this? I need to know and what accounts for the phenomena.

   I didn’t need to log in again when I revisited AxleAddict either.

      Glenn, at the first visit, I didn't use e-mail and a code plus user name. Is that normal?

         Miebakagh, the comment system is new to me too, so I don't know what's normal. However, when I first tested it, I logged in the same way as you, with a code that was sent to my email.

               You must have been logged in already then. It keeps me logged in every time I go back to check comments.

   I just test read an article on AxleAddict and left a comment. I was signed in to HubPages but haven't been to AxleAddict for weeks. It let me leave a comment without entering an email or code.

      John, Here's a question: When you had been to AxleAddict weeks ago, do you recall signing in at that time?
      
      The first time I did it, it sent me a code that I needed to copy and paste. From that point on I was always signed in.
      
      That is also what happens when a non-hubber wants to leave a comment. I tried that as an alias with a different email address.

   Nope..I had to put in email.   Then get a code to submit.
   
   Plus...there was no where at the bottom to comment.
   I had to scroll back up to top of article to hit comment.
   
   That's a problem too.

      That's right. It's hidden because of that. The comment link is at the bottom too. But readers will not know to click it.
      
      A new problem I just noticed: There is a new section of 50 articles listed in the middle of one of my AxleAddict articles with a subtitle: "Read More from AxleAddict"
      
      I thought part of my hub was cut off, but when I scrolled past the 50 lists, the rest of my hub continued. I am not happy about that and will report it to Matt. Anyone else see that?

         I'm seeing it too. That's bonkers. I think 3-6  closely related articles appearing at that point might make sense, but you are right, it makes it looks like the the end of the article.
         
         This has to be a mistake somehow.

            I think AxelAddict has quite a few glitches right now. I saw "read more on..." on every niche site (but not every article), however AA is the only one with ridiculously long sections. Hopefully the tech team can get it sorted away quickly. The others I saw were only three articles (like the trial run a few months back, or was it last year already?), but the placement is still haphazard and breaks up paragraphs. In shorter articles they are even popping up between the Q&A again. All issues Eugene and I had brought up the first time this was brought out.
            
            I still do not like that most of them are recommending articles unrelated to what the actual article is about either. I found one article on Delishably that had 3 articles with the same topic as the article. The rest however, have all been random and mostly unrelated.

         I did not see 50 articles, but I did see they were trying the read more article section in the middle of content again. I am only seeing 3 articles though. It was not successful the first time (I'm assuming considering it did not last long on Owlcation). I'm disappointed to see this back again. It makes it look like the author is recommending related articles and that is far from the case. The placement is also horrible on the articles I saw it on. Which was similar to my experience when it was on Owlcation.
         
         EDIT TO ADD: I am seeing a huge long list on one of your articles. After looking through a couple more I'm seeing both, but it seems the long list is more common than the 3 I initally saw in the first two articles I looked at. Hopefully the long lists are a glitch. They look terrible and make the page load much slower.
         
         In regards to the email I had to do it twice already (both on my Chromebook), but I cannot find a way to sign in once I have already "created" an account. Even if I am logged in here at HP it will not log me in at AxleAddict. So I have 2 accounts now and I have no idea how to log in to either one of them. My only option from the comments section is to create a user name which I already have. I was logged in for a few days, but now it is showing I'm not logged in despite actively being logged in here and commenting in the forums. When I type in my current username it tells me it is unavailable, but it does not give me the option to sign in with it.

   It seems different for laptop to iPad or phone. On the laptop i could just click comments (once I found it) and leave a comment without having to enter an email or get a code. When I tried it on the iPad it said I had to sign in and enter an email address…weird.

      Actually, that's not weird at all. It must be saving a cookie when you log in the first time fromany device with the code it sends you.
      
      So, there was no cookie on your iPad since you never signed in from that device yet.
      
      I bet now that you did, you won't have to sign in from the iPad again. Let me know if that's how it works out for you as time goes by.

               I think it recognizes you through your Google account. I singed out of mine and signed in to my husband's, and I had to use the email and code method.  Also, he is not an HP member, so I guess anyone can sign in and comment that way.

                  EDIT: I did not realize comments were live on WanderWisdom. I was able to sign in there with my username I used on AxleAddict, but it still will not transfer to AxleAddict and I only have the option to create not sign in. I wonder if there is a glitch on AA that is causing a sign in issue?

   The article seemed to be split also with a “read more from AxleAddict” articles in the middle of it and then continued. There was a second “comments” button after the bottom section…which I clicked on. Weird.

    Yes Miebakagh. The articles there are so hard to read with all the adds and “more from AxleAddict content” and the need to scroll up and down a little to find the comment box when you have clicked “comment” is annoying. Have you checked if it is the same on Wander Wisdom?

       John, i tried to post you this yesterday. But due to the brief glitch, the comment couldn't move.                                                 The comment button's on top of page. Clicking it will scroll the page down to the end or foot of the page. Clicking at the foot of the page will likewise scroll the page  up. It's a ding-dong affair.                                         Seriously, the site WW is rich with long reads that delights me.

    With the difficulty of leaving comments: signing in, giving your email address, receiving a code (scrolling through recommended articles) etc. It is a lot easier to just click "contact author" (if available) and send them a comment via email. It won't be available for anyone else to see though.
