How is it that I can see unmoderated/unapproved comments on my hubs is I am not signed in?
I am aware that others can see my unapproved/unmoderated comments too because I sometimes have emails about them before I have seen them myself.
i do not think it is possible, others cannot see your private data, unless they have your login information. For you it may be a cookie problem,try clearing your browser cache
I think its a setting, some hubs do not show comments until approved and others will show until they are deleted. I am not sure where you change that preference tho
Thank You khmohsin but clearing the browser cache has made no difference. I went on to one of my hubs both as signed in and as not signed in and can clearly see an unmoderated/approved comment.
I know that when I comment on other hubs my comments disappear till they get approval (and some, I note do not get approved).
So the problem remains. I have unmoderated comments that everyone can see. I have not given login information to anyone but anyone in the world can view these unmoderated comments.
kirstenblog - I thought it may be a setting but I have been unable to find it anywhere.
You can change the setting putting your hub in edit format. Scroll down to the comment box and hit edit. You can change the settings there, that will make it so you have to approve comments before they are seen.

How important is it to have a comment section on your hubs, or How important is it to respond?I was going through some of the hubs that belong to some of the top paid hubbers ( info found on the success story page) and a lot of those people do not respond to comments. In fact, many of their...

I got a message to check my comments and was sent to my Tom Dooley hub and I cannot see any comments there although there should be some!How can this be my problem? I have nothing to do with whether comments are showing or not do I? It is suggested I might want to disable them until I can fix them....

When a Hub author selects "Comments must be approved before they appear" in their comments capsule, you as the commenter don't have the opportunity to preview or edit your comment once you click "Submit".You do have that opportunity when the author doesn't select that option.It...

Why do so many people have to constantly mention God in their comments on HubPages?No really... why? Even when the question or hub has NOTHING to do with religion, they have to bring god into it. What's the point? Just answer the question or respond to the hub like a normal human being and stop...

Some comments I make on hubs are immediately unapproved - why?In two instances, I made a comment on a hub that didn't appear; it just said it had to be approved by the author first, and it thanked me for participating in the HubPages community. When I looked at my activity on my profile page, it...
