Might be a need to install JRE kinda problem.
Live does not come with JRE installed.

JRE = Java runtime environment.

(shouting because mentioned previously, both in replies posted to various topics, AND via repeated PMs)
.
JRE aka JAVA is ______________NOT_____________ javascript (AKA ECMAScript).
“JAVA” APPLET CONTENT, BACK IN THE DAY, WOULD HAVE BEEN LOADED INTO THE BROWSER VIA A PLUGIN COMPONENT
(SAME AS EMBEDDED “SHOCKWAVE” CONTENT REQUIRED A PLUGIN)THE LAST SURVIVING PLUGIN IS/WAS “FLASH”
CURRENT MAINSTREAM BROWSERS DO NOT PROVIDE, NOR SUPPORT, A PLUGIN NECESSARY TO DISPLAY EMBEDDED JAVA CONTENT___________________________________________

NB: installed ‘openjdk-8-jre’ plus dependencies (MX-antix includes this – and the website comments show in MX-antix)
But this has not solved it in Antix 17.xx
also installed ‘default-jre’ plus dependencies, no change.

cat /etc/hosts | wc
On this machine (without adblock entries present), the outupt is:
9 ___ 26 ___ 243
If that first number (9) is is significantly higher on your machine, you hosts file probably contains extra lines added by adblock ~~ regardless of the current state (enabled or not) of the adblock tool, an entry within the hosts file still may be blocking requests to the 3rd-party server providing content for the “comments” section of the affected webpage(s).

Hmmm, but antix 16 works OK, and its output is –

Disable antiX adblock – as I posted in my first reply – and then tell us if it makes any difference.

In case, for some reason, adblock was interrupted and wasn’t to properly cleanup…
Manually running the following commandline will hopefully restore the original file:
sudo stat /etc/hosts.ORIGINAL && mv /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.bak && mv /etc/hosts.ORIGINAL /etc/hosts

Are you running NoScript addon? If so, MOST sites now use “disques” (I think this is spelled right?), a third-party site to handle their commenting, and you will have to enable that site to run javascript on your browser.
