This is quite infuriating -- to have a comment that you spend fifteen or so minutes carefully composing in another person's hub, only to see it wiped out because of a glitch, and it never gets posted, and you loose your moment in that train of thought, so you cannot reproduce it.
Anybody else having (ever had) this problem?
Yes, I have had that problem.
So, I've now trained myself, if I am going to post a long post in a comment section...I right click, click select all, then copy, just in case.
This way, I can come back, should it not post properly and not have to retype in the comment.
Hope that helps.
Did you actually get an error message, or did your comment simply not appear? Some users have their comment boxes set to only display comments after approval.
Hey Maddie,
My cases, one yesterday, was an error base. I had to click ok to continue.
However, I've been, as I said, run into this a few times, but have taken other measures. It doesn't happen that often. It only seems to happen when there is a slow reaction. Thank you
Happens a lot. There are a lot of comment box problem threads on the forums that express the same problem.
Thanks to all for confirming the problem.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Whenever we want to post thoughtful, sincere comments, we must first train ourselves to write them somewhere else besides the message box, so that we may later copy/post them to the message box, perhaps multiple times before we succeed past the glitches that always threaten to wipe us out.
COPY before POSTING.
If the first effort fails, then try, try again until you defeat that eeevil glitch (^__^).
OOPS!, I did not copy this before I now try to post it. Pray with me: "Please, please, please, Lord, let this comment post."

A weird problem I have noticed today and yesterday, is that when I post a comment on to another hubber's hub, as soon as I click "post", I am immediately spun up to the top of the hub, and when I scroll down again my comment has vanished, so I have to try to remember exactly what I said...

I got a message to check my comments and was sent to my Tom Dooley hub and I cannot see any comments there although there should be some!How can this be my problem? I have nothing to do with whether comments are showing or not do I? It is suggested I might want to disable them until I can fix them....

How can I encourage visitors from other sites to post comments directly on my hub?I put a note on my hubs saying please post here, but so far I am not having a lot of luck, and people keep posting comments to the other sites.

When I joined Hubpages I was able to post comments but after the first week I was not able to. I think that perhaps I am typing in HTML because there's an advisory below the comments that says no HTML. I was fooling around with Yahoo Free webpages...maybe I flipped some HTML...

Do you get email notifications of a comment on your hub, but when you check, there is no comment?I've had this happen several times in the last week or so. The email says that so-and-so has left a comment on your hub. I go check and the comment isn't there. It usually shows up...

I have been writing for Hubages for over a year and I am still trying to figure out how to get my readers to comment on my articles. Is this something hubbers should even worry about?
