    How does a reader  enter a comment on an article?  How does the author set up a comment section.

      Comments aren't working, apart from a few of the network sites. You can't set anything up.

        These 'built in' features no longer works again these days.                               They're done away with some 3 years ago. Certain networks now had commenting.                                     'Rojo' comment system, only on network sites is an exception. But it's cumbersome.

    Well that is a bit discouraging!

    Comments can be made on a few niche sites using something called Rojo. This was announced several months ago with great fanfare but, as far as I can see, it's been a flop. It's cumbersome and seems designed to discourage comments.

    If it had been successful in encouraging comments surely it would have been attached to more niche sites.

    What would happen if they copied the comment code from of the old sites' HTML and dropped it into the new site? Why can't that be done? Please tell us.

    The lack of comments used to be the "hot topic" in the forums. Now, people generally seem resigned to them never returning. A sense of fatalism has set in.

    It has been a while since I submitted an article  until this past week. I was disappointed that there was not "comment section".     I suppose all things change.....

      Yes, I miss this thing here badly too. On medium we feel engaged with readers. I like medium in this regard

    Rojo seems like a hot idea from the era when forums were sexy.  Peak 1990s tech.

    Interestingly, there are still the topical forums where people discuss non-Hubpages stuff.

      The human capacity for arguing about religion and politics is probably limitless! smile

    Comments can be made through the forum threads. But a reader of HubPages going through your article need to post it in the Forum thread providing a link to your article. It is the practice nowadays for posting comments and interacting with the authors as well as fellow writers.

    My readers ask how we can eliminate all the ads  in the articles.  I imagine there is no solution for that!  Is there an upgrade or something that would eliminate the ads?

      Readers can a activate an Ad Blocker.

        Ad Blocker is one of the reasons why we are where we are, with record-low earnings across the writing industry.

        I think Ad Blocker should be entirely banned. Us writers would benefit a lot from that, and as a reader, I don't mind the ads because I know they are, on sites like this, the only income source for writers.

          theraggededgeposted 13 months agoin reply to this

          Of course, but when they impede the reader from actually reading the article, they become a problem. When I click on a site to get some information, let's say a recipe, and the ads are dominating the content so much that the information is difficult to find, then I'm pressing that Back button.

    This comment question keeps coming back and forth.                                 Yet, hubpages seems to do nothing to restore comment button as original.

    Some device like the Opere Browser, has AdBlockers to prevent ads from showing.

    One can turn this on and the ads will show.

    But I think how to controled the number of ads shown is question.

    When on your editing page for your article, scroll down on the right to OPTIONS, Click the link and you will see an option to turn off ads.

    Hello Health Winner - That's not how it works here. Comments can be made on a handful of niches sites using something called Rojo, but it's a bit labourious. Writers cannot moderate comments because they are not informed if a comment has been made.

    I have more than 1,000 articles on HubPages. How can I possibly scroll through them on the off chance someone has made an inappropriate comment or planted some spam there? The answer is that I can't.

    It would be better if there was no comment system rather than the half-arsed one in place now.

    'Health Winner' is another of these bot accounts. They all say in their 'About' that they are focused on hair. This is about the 8th one in the last few days.

    Report them when you see them.
