I recently had a tech-support problem on lw and wanted to post the solution here. Anyone with write permissions on the faq is invited to copy-paste the following there:
Q: I appear to be unable to comment. Once I log in, the comment button vanishes. WTF?
A: Have you verified your email address? Due to spammers, we had to make email verification mandatory before commenting.
Unfortunately, the lesswrong code is currently unable to indicate if your account is still pending email verification. The easiest way to trigger a new attempt at email verification is to go to your account settings and change your email address; then your new email address will immediately receive a new verification mail.

Thank you! I needed that work-around.
