Once again I have that dreaded little green comment button on my page and the comments are not on the relevant hub. It tells me that 2 comments were made THREE DAYS ago and I still cannot reply to the writers. This really is getting a little trying.
Hi Sally,
We've just fixed some bugs related to comments, we're hoping this takes care of the problem. If you're still having issues with comments from today or going forward, please start a new thread to let us know.

Hi, Christy,
I sent you an email last night to Team HubPages asking if the Flipboard would be beneficial to my style of hubbing.
Thanks in advance for answering.
Sally, I have never seen this green button or had problems with comments. Where does it appear? Is it only happening on the niche sites?
Hi Jodah
It comes up next to your profile image with the number of comments awaiting a response from you. When you go to the comment they don't exist, until a while later. 2 comments left were for the same hub, on one of the niche sites, but not sure it this is happening on the mother ship as well. I find is rather sad that I only received these comments three days after they were actually written. The people are loyal followers of mine who always make such an effort and my lack of response to their comments makes me look unresponsive and ungrateful, which I am not.
sallybea,
Well, yet another new wave of frustration for me to contend with.
Hi, Sally. CrowdFlower was down this week. We will look and see if there are any other problems on our end. I'm so sorry for the frustration; we know how important new comments are to Hubbers, and we're working on it. Have a good weekend.
Busted! So, Robin, you work for HubPages?
Well, my dear, you are talking my language. I have held back from commenting that much on my lack of comments and thought it might be my content for hubs, but I have no set style.
One day I shall prove this to you and all of my wonderful followers that I can write an in-depth and very intelligently organized hub about a car motor or even maybe how a horse digests things that would kill us.
But until that time . . .
Nice meeting you, Robin.
I haven't been getting any new comments either, although I can see more views on hubs moved to niche sites. I am getting more followers too.
Hi Robin,
So our comments are being monitored and this has been outsourced to CrowdFlower! This is the definitive answer I was hoping for when I started my other thread about the green button. Thanks, Robin I appreciate your candor.
Hi Sally,
I should add that while we are using CrowdFlower to help identify low-quality comments by signed out users, all comments (for both signed out users and ones left by Hubbers) are still run through our internal algorithms and spam detection filters as well. In other words, CrowdFlower is acting as an additional filter for anonymous comments rather than a replacement for our existing systems.
I appreciate the explanation Christy, thank you. I should note however that comments are still taking longer than one would like to come through.
Hi, Christy, although I do not understand a word you are saying, this does not subtract from the fact of what a fantastic job you are doing for us on HP. And yes, I consider you, sallybea, Camille, Matt, and many more including my Great Followers, My Friends For Life.
Sincerely, Kenneth

This week, I log in and like many other writers realise that the comment unit at the end of an article has be taken away. So, how do we appreciated our authors, or rather appreciated the works of...

I've noticed that I keep seeing HOTDs that fit the niche sites yet weren't chosen for the niche sites because they still have HubPages URLs. Why not save some time in the selection process for the niche sites and mine all the recent HOTDs and all of the Editor's Choice hubs for use on the niche...

I hope Robin will come by and comment on this one. I have been going through all of my old comments and deleting any that don't add anything to the conversation, but some of my hubs have a ton of very useful and informative comments. I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.What makes...

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

Unless your article is on the first page of a niche site, the only way I have found to see how many comments are on them, is to actually click on the article. Now that there are comments on some niche sites that I have content on, I'm wondering how often those of you who have had them for awhile...

I have noticed that when editing/updating articles on some of the niche sites, I am required to sign in all over again in order to access the edit function.This is not true on all of the niche sites; it is rather annoying, when I am already signed in to the HP main site. If we have to sign in...
