Ok......I admit it, I'm about ready to give up on this one!!
My 'comments delete' icon is still AWOL and hence so is the function it is supposed to provide. This has now been an issue for me for a fair few days and the novelty is wearing pretty thin.
I emailed Blogger help as you know and received some advice, clear my temp. files, cache, cookies and history etc. and try again. I did all that......still nothing. I went on to follow their next suggestion, I have checked and re-checked and reset and un-reset more browser settings than is known to mankind (or in this case womankind) and finally I tried their last suggestion, to install Mozilla Firefox and see if that showed anything...... and still nowt. Add to that I.E didn't seem to take kindly to the Firefox being anywhere in it's vicinity and promptly fell to pieces. Two hours more and I had I.E back to it's inglorious normality..........but still no bloody icon!
So I'm at a complete loss. Blogger say they can see the icon at their end and when I post on another Blogger I (intermittently) see the trash can icon so where in Gods name has mine gone?? I have fiddled with my template unendingly, I have set up a different account to see what happens there.........a big fat nothing, I have printed out an original and a copy of the said template and compared them piece by piece..........NOTHING!!! It seems my laptop also has whatever gremlin is causing this, it must be a 'family' thing.
So here is my plea, if anyone out there has even the remotest idea or thought on what I have missed or am doing wrong, please, please enlighten me. I am only too happy to be made an utter fool of, feel free to laugh at my expense but just tell me how to fix this. My next option is to re-format a pc and see if that gives me any clues and believe me I really don't look forward to that only to find I still have nothing.
Perhaps I should just live without it, hell, I rarely need to delete a comment anyway, but I just can't, it is there staring me in the face, begging to be done and ignoring it is not an option, I have to beat this thing.

QUIT WERKIN!!! IT'S......PARDYTIME!!!!
It's your bloggers way of attempting to make you crazy... it knows who you are..... and where to find you, and it won't stop until it's completed it's task !!!! Unless of course you are not obscessed over a garbage can.. then I think you will be fine! Deanna.
see? i told ya... he he he. now quit it, and go look at my newest pic, i caught this pair breeching right here in Lake Magz!
Okay, just a shot in the dark, but do you have a firewall? Maybe one that tries to filter out ads for you? Try disabling your firewall, just for a moment, hit refresh, and see if you can get that pesky graphic to show up. Then remember to put your firewall back on!
Something else to try: Go bring up your page on somebody's system where the icon shows up, right-click the icon, select properties and write down the URL for the image. Then go back to your system and type in that url and see if the image shows up.
Be sure you've logged into Blogger, then go back to your blog, open up the comments, hit refresh, and look for the trash can at the end of the comment. The URL will look something like this: http://www.blogger.com/delete-comment.do?blogID=1105057&postID=109189661476562949
Good luck. If all else fails... eat some chocolate. It won't help, but you'll feel better. :)
Guess wot!!! Now I come to look, I can't see mine either???? A cunningly fiendish plot to drive us all made, I think! Seriously. maybe it's a more generalised thing and only you has noticed. I have certainly seen them on other blogs, so it's not universal. Sorry I can't be of any more help. I've never had to delete a comment yet, so I suppose I hadn't noticed it had gone missing till now.
Magz: The pencil thingy is a 'quick edit link' you will have 'enabled' it at sometime! Lol....thats sommat else I'm having problems with, gimme urs if you don't want it! :o)
Sorry about the spelling and grammar there (teacher talking) - I am not long awake! :)
Deanna: Obsessed.... who me???? lol
dkgoodman: Thanks for all that. I have tried disabling the firewall but it made no difference, your other suggestion I will try if I can find a pc that it shows on, thus far I have been unable to despite blogger telling me they think the problem is with my settings and not at their end! Thanks for the advice tho,I will try it when and if I can.... next time I get stuck I know where to come! hehe.
p.s. Chocolate is ALWAYS a good final solution :o)
Thanks for that info Jenny.....it's beginning to seem like it's a blogger problem and not a 'me' problem.
I know the 'just up' spelling and grammar probs myself....I'm feeling like that right now! lol
We've got the same problem with our delete comments icon, we've used it once so we know it was there before. If I find out how to get it back I'll let you know....
Paul
Cheers Paul, seems like this must be them not us!
I once tried for an entire month to throw out an old garbage can, but the trashmen would never take it. I would have given my soul (at the time) to have had your problem.
Good Luck, Scottie. And thanks again, eh?
Lol Dale..... and you're welcome :o)
