What’s going on with TypePad’s commenting system???

I just tried to enter a comment on one of my own posts, in response to a comment that someone else left. When I clicked the ‘Post’ button, I was taken to another screen with a really messed up template that took bits and pieces of my site and put them in a single column and when I then scrolled down I saw a PREVIEW of my comment (even though I clicked the post button and not preview), and then there appears to be a new captcha device where you’re to enter a number shown in a very hard to read image to prevent robots (shouldn’t this have been on the initial comment page?), and when I enter the code and click ‘Post’ (AGAIN), it then brought me back to the same messed up page with the same comment preview, etc. I re-entered the code in the image, clicked Post yet again, and still got the same screen. My comments are moderated, and when I logged into the TypePad user interface, and chose the ‘List Comments’ option, my comment wasn’t even there!

When I tried the same thing on a different post, I had a similar experience where clicking ‘Post’ took me to the messed up screen where everything looked like crap and I had to enter in the image code, and this time after doing that it took me back to the original post and the comment DID show up in the comment list.

Some very bizarre behavior going on, only semi-reproducable, and what’s with the captcha after people click ‘Post’ and the messed up template???

Any other TypePad users experiencing this problem??
