Operation Aborted on IE8

We've had a report from of one of our community members, who was intending to post a comment on one of our posts, that he is getting an "Operation Aborted" error on IE8!

We were able to reproduce this and the issue and after some research, tracked it down to the "Comment form".

We had previously selected for the comment form to appear underneath the post (as with most regular blogging systems) - after changing it to "full page" so that people will now have to click on a link and then add their comment.

This is a temporary measure and we will reimplement the embedded comment form once Blogger has this issue resolved.

Our team has actually come across a similar issue to this and it came down to the modification of the DOM prior to the page being loaded. Perhaps this is the same issue? Only time will tell.

We apologise to the users who have been inconvenienced by this issue and encourage blogger devs to please fix this issue as fast as they can.

In the mean time, you can post your comments by clicking on the "post a comment" link below the post in place of the previously embedded comment form.
