Figured out half of it: looking at your previous posts, you’re not using the same email address. Your Gravatar.com seems connected to an address that has “_bf” in it.
The old site allowed logging in and would thus remember the email address. The new site only allows logging in to patreon, but I use a different email address for it. The _bf address was created specifically for BF to have a BF-specific avatar associated with it. And some people don’t have a patreon account.
I can add the name and email with every comment, but it would be more convenient to have the site remember it.

I’ll see if I can add this to my TODO. I have a lot of work for the March 1 revamp of my Patreon, so that might have to wait for a bit.
One more thing I noticed, the graphical elements of the discussion are taking a lot of space on mobile. Combined with the right column, a comment nesting level of 4 (like above, or https://www.bloomingfaeries.com/comic/bloomin-faeries-412) makes the text too squished on phones with smaller screens and/or larger scaling (for people with non-optimal eyesight).
At the moment, the quick solutions would be to limit comment nesting to 3 or ask readers to turn their phone sideways (landscape) when reading comments. Honestly, I’m not sure BF is ever going to read well on a phone in portrait mode.

Trying on mobile:
– Gravatar no longer working for me on the site.
– Cannot reply to another comment.

The reply option seems to work for me. Is it just a mobile thing?

Mobile. The “Reply” buttons don’t show on Android. Both Chrome and Firefox.

Thanks, I’ll see if the dev can have a look at it.
