   I don't seem to be able to leave comments on anybody's hubs this evening...
   
   Is anybody else having the same problem?

                  I think everybody is aware of the situation now... there were some problems about hub-views getting updated about a week ago and that took more than 48 hours to resolve... Just have to be patient.
                  
                  If you really do have lots of comments to post on peoples' hubs why don't you set up a new forum thread about the comments you want to post and who you want to post them to --- that way, when the issue does get resolved you just have to go over to the forum and copy and paste onto their hubs and hopefully you will save your computer from spontaneously combusting in the process..

I am new at this, and still stumbling along.  I have written 8 hubs...and only received one comment and that was on my very first one.  I was wondering why my hubs weren't generating any  comments.  I was hoping to learn from the input of other hubbers and anyone who read any of them.  Well...good luck to all...feel free to stop by..drop a line..follow me..I'll do the same.  Thanks and have a great day.

       Hi Christyna, welcome to Hub-Pages... I hope you enjoy it on here :-)
       
       I like your hub about childhood memories a lot but still can't leave comments, I am following you though and will be back when this issue gets resolved...

       #Go to Google and type in Hubpages.com and sign in through that in lieu of your email, and the feed will come up, and one is able to comment in that manner, so on new hubs being published, they will show up on the feed, and one can go there to comment if they so wish to do so.  Plus, if someone has commented on one of your hubs prior to the problem, and you had not had a chance to comment back on your own hub, you can if you just go to the feed and keep scrolling until you come to your hub where it had been commented on.  Also, if someone shares your hub, it will show up again in the feed, where comments can be made.#
       This seems to work! :-)

                Yes, it does works, as I commented back on a couple of hubs, and then went through email and checked on my hubs and the comments showed up.

    Have you tried signing out and signing in again through google... ?   --- think you might be able to leave your comments that way

    If shut my computer down and back on, I've refreshed pages, I've used different browsers. I am working out of the feed, but I'd rather be on someone's hub to leave them comments than do it through the feed. I dunno? It just feels funny not being on their page.
