SM, it ts time to put humpty dumpty back together. Time to allow comments without 'red tape' if the owner so chooses.

Added this to another thread & thought worthwhile to add here.
"Not sure this has been mentioned before but as one who recently switched from Zenfolio to Smugmug I suggest Smugmug look at Zenfoilio and a number of other sites that easily allow comments for guidance. I had no problem with visitors making comments with my Zenfolio site and am tempted to go back. Simply put, if a visitor honors me by visiting my site and wants to comment about my work, why make it difficult? Seems like a pound of prevention for an ounce of cure."
I definitely agree, I did not try this on my trial period, its a big downside for me. As not only a photographer but a BLOGGER, this is a must have for me since I want my customers to interact on my site. I just asked a client to leave a comment, this was her reply: "It gives me an option to log in, then it says it does not recognize the email, then it asks to log in with facebook, I don't like to log in with facebook for privacy reasons, I don;t have a google+ account, I have my facebook set up as private, so i didn't post a comment" . She literally sent this message through my contact form, which ironically "Does NOT ask a client to log in only give email info.
Only for this reason I am also thinking to move one to another host, unless this is solve PROMPTLY.
Regards!
