Comments not showing up

[Imstillfun]

I am getting virtually no comments on my last story. I can see in the activity page I have 9, in the moderate page I can read 8, at the end of the story there are none.

Usually within a day I have over 30-50 comments.

It also seems, with the new format, I’m getting less readers and less votes.

Anyone else having this problem?

I have 6600 followers so I would expect more readers on a new story.

Yeah, I just searched the forum to see if anyone else has an issue. It is definitely happening to me.

To address one thing the amount of followers you have does not mean they are all going to read every story you write. Also some are most likely no longer even active here.

I have over 15k followers, I certainly don't get that many votes or comments.

As for your other issues, the site's latest "upgrade' has been a disaster that they're still trying to fix. When you try and adjust one part of a site at a time, it sends everything else of kilter, but they don't want to shut the site down to do the entire thing, and I also suspect they're too cheap to pay someone who could do it right, so they keep botching it.

Comments have been delayed since they decided they're going to censor comments. They say its looking for spam, reality is they're looking for any comment with a view they don't agree with socially or politically. They used to tout this as a 'free speech site' that's now been added to their long list of double talk because its only free speech if they agree.

I'm glad my heyday here was long before they started their 'upgrades' and censorship.

For new stories there is a bug...

You have to click on the link "New First" in the comment section.

The bug only seems to affect new stories in the "Old First" link which is the default when looking at comment.

If you go to your dashboard and click on the comment icon you will be able to see them just fine.

I have reported the bug to the site.

It’s not just new stories.
