Why am I no longer getting the opportunity to "reply" to the comments on my hubs? Anybody know?
In the past two days, I have noticed that I no longer get the chance to "reply" to the comments on my hubs.
Boy, am I glad you asked this! I wondered if it was something I said... .just noticed it yesterday, I think.
I hardly ever reply within hubs anymore. I do all my comment moderating and replying from one global place under my account - hubs - comment page. It's easier and no need to go into each individual Hub.
The reply button is still there in the global moderation page. But you are right, it vanished from the comment capsule. If you still moderate directly in each Hub, you can still reply by adding your own comment, but only once.
HP just added a nice feature where we can reply to each answer in the Q&A (where we are now - see the blue comment link?).
It seems that when they put that in, it was the same time that the reply option was lost from the hubs. Just my guess, not sure on the timing or even if one had to do with the other.
But I wonder if HP is in the process of adding the same feature to the hub comment capsule as we have now in the Q&A. This might explain why it was removed for now. Might have been a code conflict. And if so, they might be working on adding it to hubs too.
This will be great if we have that feature in hubs to have our reply attached to their respective comments.

Do you reply back to each person who leaves a comment on your hubs?Please explain the reason why you do or do not. I am wondering if I need to do this or not since I have noticed that some folks do this pretty faithfully.

Do you find that leaving comments and replying to them increases your stats, or does it take you away (time wise) from writing hubs?

For the last ten days I do not seem to be able to reply to the 12 comments that I have received on various posts. After having read an article and having left a comment, that does not seem to work either. I have mentioned this glitch on the hubpage Facebook pages and now again here. Please...

Why is it that some writers do not respond to individual comments on their hubs?I noticed this with some writers who have been on HP for two years or more. They will choose to respond directly to some comments and ignore the others. Doesn't it make you feel like not commenting on these writers...

When I get a comment on one of my hubs I usually reply, at least with a thanks if I can. I notice some do and others do not reply to comments.I am wondering if there is any reason for not replying apart from being too busy to do so? Is it bad for bandwidth? does it score against your page rank,...

For years I have been diligent about responding to questions left on my hubs. But now I've discovered comments are being published on my articles without appearing in my Comments section, so I look like I'm rude and ignoring readers who go to the effort of writing.Today I spent ages waiting for...
