This is another Friday rant – or so it seems to me.
Why does it happen that when I comment on someone’s blog, the comments disappear into oblivion and don’t turn up ? The blogger who may be a friend, doesn’t know I have commented on her post and I keep wondering why he/she doesn’t respond to my comment and so it goes on, till one day, I stop commenting and the blog writer stops visiting my blog, all because messages go into oblivion.
Sometimes, I have had to go to common friends and ask them of a favor to let the common blogger friend know and that helps a lot. I often don’t find a contact email on their blog to let them know of my vanishing messages.
What would you do ?

some times they do but I think it is my fault. I can just type away and then all of the sudden…bam…gone. As for some not showing up I understand on some blogs they have to be approved before they show up ,but I really don’t know.

Its true- some blogs require comments to be approved.
Would you pursue the blogger, and let them know somehow that you have commented or would you let it go ?

Depends on the blogger. Right now I am getting followers that don’t comment and I don’t have a clue who they are or why they are following.

That’s rankling too. I love to comment if the post appeals to me.

I would ask if they got it. Or to check their spam. I had hundreds of spam and when i approved them i coudln’t find them!!!!!! So i couldn’t even reply because they just poofed . It is so frustrating.

I saw them there and i approved them and could not find them and some of them had been there over a month!
I’m having so many issues with wordpress.
I had over 500 spam the other day but about 20 of them were from my actual friends who comment all the time like you. And the rest i had to go through and delete. I have no idea how this happens.

This is great !
We need to let wordpress know and they need to find a solution.
Thanks for sharing, Bethany !

I admit I will delete some comments that I just don’t want to see like when they are offensive, but its rare when I do. Maybe in your case its a matter of being approved and displayed. Keep commenting.

I’ve had things disappear, but everything has been fine lately. Maybe we all have to take a turn at being hit! Just joking. I’m sure it doesn’t work like that.

I worry about that too-it is annoying. Rest assured, I will remain faithful to you even if that happens. I do check my spam folder now when I think of it.

I try to check my spam folder every so often. It is amazing how may end up there that should not! I have also had my comments just disappear somewhere…..it always makes me wonder what really happened to them.
