For the past week, the ability to comment on articles and resource pages has been disabled on interest.co.nz.
That was because we installed a major update of our back-end systems last weekend. While almost of this upgrade went without a hitch, unfortunately our commenting feature (along with its credentialing links to Press Patron) did have hitches and we had to suspend it.
However, commenting is now back. And it should be identical to what you are used to.
You need to be registered to comment, and when registered, you need to log in. (If you are still logged in, with the return of this feature it would be best if you logged out and logged back in again, just this time.)
And when you log in, Supporters should use the "Log in with Press Patron" option. If you are not a Supporter, please use the other (second) or 'Standard' option to log in.
(A first remedy if you face any issues; please log out and log back in.)
We thank you for your patience and amazing support over this past week, and apologise for any inconvenience.
What hasn't changed is if you do wish to make a comment, please keep it respectful, on the issue at hand, and avoid personalising any criticism, i.e. personal attacks. You need to comply with our Commenting Policies. And please let us know (in the comment section below) if you are encountering any lingering issues. We are keen to get them resolved.
We of course welcome financial support to keep us going, so we maintain our standards of independent unbiased and unfiltered news, as well as allowing you to exercise your democratic freedom to express your thoughts. In addition, we have tools available for every Kiwi to use in helping them make informed financial decisions.
We welcome your comments below. If you are not already registered, please register to comment
Remember we welcome robust, respectful and insightful debate. We don't welcome abusive or defamatory comments and will de-register those repeatedly making such comments. Our current comment policy is here.
