July 6, 2010: Blogger, Get Your Act Together!

*Update: I sent in a report, and it seems to be working now. Even yesterday's missing ones are showing up and being published. It looks as though it was a common problem for us bloggers.

My comment count still isn't working, though. I've reloaded the page, and I've cleared the cache, but it's still showing 0 Comments.

********

It began, or maybe I should say it stopped, yesterday. I'm receiving your comments through my email notifications, but cannot publish them from there (I get an error message). When I open my Dashboard, it tells me there are comments to moderate, but when I access the Comments Moderation page, it says there are no comments to moderate! I feel like I'm beating my head against a brick wall! I hate to turn of Comments Moderation, as there is a lot of spam sent to it....unless you're all interested in buying Viagra or "hot Asian girls". I don't think you are! So, please bear with me, and hopefully Blogger will get it fixed.

  1. I don't think it is just your comment moderation...I got a comment sent to my email but it is not showing up on my post. Hmmm!

  3. I reported it, I have the same problem last night and this morning. I hope they fix it fast.

  4. Crossing my fingers for you, Granny, for a quick fix and back to normal. That does sound frustrating! I wouldn't turn off comment moderation, either, esp. if you've had problems with spam in the past. Those bots can be vicious. :(

    My comment program allows me to okay specific addresses and they stay approved for a while, but I have to moderate all those first-timers forevermore... the bot mob officially found my blog about a month ago. I got over 200 spam messages over the holiday weekend!

  5. Looks like I'm up and running again, even though it shows 0 Comments on my blog page. Good luck to the rest of you who are having problems.

  6. Yup, I am having some issues with comments as well. Had a bunch in my email this morning, but they didn't post to my blog until hours later. Hopefully, things will be resolved soon.

  7. Oh btw, I don't moderate my comments and I still had problems. So I don't think it is your comment moderation settings either. If you have spam comments, then I would leave those alone.

  8. I didn't even know anything was wrong! Last night I had a little extra time before I went to bed so I hopped onto the computer, and our internet connection was down. Again. We're having a hard time with it. It's up, then down, then up, then down. Hubby thinks it's a cord problem and has ordered 2 new ones. Crossing my fingers that fixes it!

    PS, Granny, you're right, I really don't want any Viagra or hot Asian girls.

  9. My comments count worked on these last three, but still doesn't show the five previous ones. It should be "8 comments".

  10. I hope it gets all fixed up soon. I swear I've left comments, but I don't see them. I wonder if I'll see this one?

  11. You're showing up now, Daphne, but I've noticed if I just view the blog page, where the comments show at the bottom of the blog entry, not all comments show. You have to click and go to the comments page to see them all. That's a fairly recent problem.

  14. My comments from my last post have also disappeared. I had a count of 6 when I got home from work but could not see them. I answered the last 2 comments I saw this morning just a few mins ago and I can see it but the rest of the comments are still missing.

  15. I had the same problem of disappearing comments yesterday, it was so frustrating! Keith was totally bummed out because he published his very first post and it seemed like no one was commenting on it, until I discovered that we were getting email notifications of all the new comments, even though they weren't being published. Let's hope that this was just a temporary problem!

  16. Liisa & Thyme2garden, I hope both your comment problems get straightened out soon. It's so annoying when Blogger gets messed up! Mine seems to be back to normal now, comment count and all. Knock on wood!
