 * Recently I’ve been having problems, when someone tries to comment this error 
   just appears:
 * > Sorry, there was an error. JavaScript and Cookies are required in order to

   > Please be sure JavaScript and Cookies are enabled in your browser. Then, please
   > hit the back button on your browser, and try posting your comment again. (You
   > may need to reload the page)
 * I’ve tried numerous things (including checking my JavaScript and Cookies) but
   it doesn’t seem to work. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * Your blog URL would be the best..and also check from the other browser or other
   system..
 * It seems that it is an browser level issue not wordpress blog..
 * Thanks,

 * If you could provide a link to your site so we can see the problem this might
   help…
 * Since there’s ton of users here with different browsers it should be easy to 
   determine if it’s browser related or not.

 * I’ve got readers emailing me with the same problem. I went in to post a comment
   to see if I got the same message and sure enough, I did. I’m using Firefox and
   have AdBlock Plus installed, which I thought was the culprit, but I turned it
   off and got the same message.
 * My blog:
    [http://www.dizzy-girl.net](http://www.dizzy-girl.net)
 * Any help would be appreciated.

 * What plugins do you have installed?

 * Plugins:
 * Gravatar
    CommentLuv Spam Karma2 WP-SpamFree WP Super Cache
 * I’m thinking it may be WP-SpamFree, because I just installed it last week and
   that’s right around the time I started having problems. But when I deactivate
   it, there’s still a problem.
 * Thanks again.

 * Deactivate them all, then test… if things work activate them one at a time testing
   to see if the problem returns as you go.

 * Deactivated and it turned out to be CommentLuv. Hopefully others using CommentLuv
   who have the same problem will find this page.
 * I really appreciate the help. Thanks again.

 * A good wealth of issues posted here turn out to be plugin related, so it seemed
   a logical step…
 * 🙂 Glad you got it working… 🙂

 * For anyone else out there having this problem, I just discovered several of my
   blogs stopped getting comments and one of my regulars told me about it and about
   this error message.
 * I came here, found this thread, and checked my plugins. I don’t use “CommentLuv”
   and never have. In my case, running WP 2.8.4, it was the “WP-Spamfree” plugin.
   I’m using the latest version, 2.1.0.7.
 * Or I WAS using that version — I’ve deactivated it for now. And on every blog 
   where I’ve been using wp-spamfree I’ve discovered the comment error message appearing.
   In each case, deactivating wp-spamfree resolved the issue.
