Just lately I've been getting notification of comments on my hubs but when I click on the comment it takes me to the hub and shows nothing new. It's not working as it used to work, going to the hub and scrolling down to the comment section where I could approve or deny the comment itself. Nothing in my account takes me to anyplace where I can moderate the comment. The unmoderated comments section shows nothing in the queue, but I still have those notices about comments needing attention. Any suggestions?

Hi, W.E.,
Odd that it's still happening and never ever happened before, I've been here quite awhile and always dealt with spammers myself. Why not mark them spam and allow us to see what they were?

How can I stop spammers from leaving comments on my hubs?I've started getting spam as comments to my hubs. They contain links to sales sites. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, how are you handling it? Don't users have to sign in to comment?

This might be my last forum post because I am tired. I can't be wasting my time beating a dead horse.HP is a business and they need to start treating their business more seriously. They need a task force to sit and brain storm about how to keep spammers out in the first place.I know that I have...

This morning I was surprised to find I had 11 new hub comments! Considering I'm lucky to get 1 every 3-4 months I wondered if I was fortunate enough to have a HOTD. To my disappointment, every comment was spam. (No HOTD...lol) Is there anything I need to do other than mark the comment as spam? How...

Did you ever have to 'deny' a comment upon your hub?
