Just a quick note to my fellow bloggers –
those who follow me and those I follow alike –
The weirdest thing has been happening
the last couple of days –
I will go to great lengths to provide a comment
to various items and click send and *poof* it’s gone –
and not like gone into ‘review for moderation’ but
gone as in GONE (zip).
So I decided to investigate the problem (thinking maybe
it was an XP IE java loop of madness or something)
only to find out that many (seemingly well-adjusted)
people have complained about this very thing in the last
two months –
To verify what I learned, I checked my spam, which
I had emptied just last week, and I had 109 messages –
And you guessed it, quite a few were from you,
my dear friends.
Apparently, if the site believes the comment
is spam, it doesn’t send an email –
it just tosses it in the back of the pantry with the
three year old trail mix and dogfood (for a dog
you don’t even have anymore).
I’m off the recover your comments and reply
to them – and who knows, maybe I’ll end up as a
princess in some far off place like Spamolia!
But if you’re wondering why you aren’t seeing a lot
of comments, you might check to see who’s been
misfiled 😉
same here..
……….well, at least I’m in good company 😉
oh yes..
I’ve had a bit of trouble with that too and also trying to ‘like’ something. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Very weird!
Yes, I’ve had that……..and wondered why there’s not a ‘I tried but I couldn’t like it’ button! 🙂 I think you have a comment or two on your poem you wrote for your friend, Brenda. I finally gave up, closed my eyes and thought really really hard ~ hoping that the thoughts would have better luck getting to you! lol…….
I found the comments in my spam folder!
it’s insane……….. 😉
I blame the latest and greatest [read: lamest and worst] update to our notification system. Still reading and commenting. Hope they get it fixed soon!
…and I see now they’ve moved the ‘notify me of follow-up comments box……. for a week, it didn’t matter if it was checked or not……I either got them all or got nothing……..heheheheheheheh
I check my spam comments folder fairly regularly, but they are usually just real spammers trying to get me to buy something. Usually Viagra for some reason, LOL.
LOL…………well, there’s that! 🙂
You are too hilarious! But i hope you get to the bottom of it! Much love!
Well, so far, I’ve had a bunch of other people say that they had the same thing happen and others who (like me) just assumed they were getting everything until they checked. I had sent several notes to Jeannie with no response, and she found them all in her spam folder……. Too bizarre. It’s hard enough to stay connected without the wp gremlins deciding for us………dontchoothink?! 🙂
My comments are all over the place, I am getting emails for some that don’t appear on the notifications list, and then sometimes I get numbers on the orange notification box and other times it’s a speech bubble…. Infuriating!
I know! I don’t know if they’re trying to make things better or if they’re trying to shake a few of us off! LOL! 😉
Oh thank you so much for this public service announcement, Bobbie! Just now, I found two of your comments in my spam folder! I just retrieved them and I will respond. Thanks again a million!
…….:) I kept thinking something wasn’t right (I just wasn’t sure what it was)……. Thank you, Dee! This is a much preferred answer over the thought that I was using invisible ink when I posted! 😉
