But it seems like something is going on with Blogger!<br /><br />Earlier, about 15 minutes ago when I got on my blog, your comments and MJ's comments were visible!<br /><br />But when I signed in to comment, they were both gone again!

And my comment count matched the number of comments in the pop up box!<br /><br />And when I went over to visit your blog, I saw your old comments there; but now they're gone.<br /><br />When I signed in to comment, the comments vanished for some reason. But the good news is, it seems that Blogger really is working on restoring the missing comments, so we'll see what happens and act accordingly.<br /><br />But it's a good sign. And the old test comment (the second one) you left at Nitecruzr's blog is still visible, so that's a positive sign.<br /><br />I really do believe that they're working on it now. It's a positive sign that things are heading in the right direction.eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-50840271249950705002010-07-08T14:05:56.844-05:002010-07-08T14:05:56.844-05:00Make Beast stop it.Make Beast stop it.MJhttp://theinfomaniac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-46618369347939392462010-07-08T11:18:43.457-05:002010-07-08T11:18:43.457-05:00Dude, really, where would we be without you?

I've seen a few actually posting on the Forum!<br /><br />I'm currently pondering the next move. I figure tomorrow would make it a week since Blogger finally looked into our postings. I'll test the waters soon and figure out the best way to go forth from there. The important thing is to stay visible, while at the same time, not alienate any support from the Forum and Blogger. We want a resolution, and I think that we can reach that resolution much faster through collaboration.<br /><br /><b>Leni</b>, If anything this whole mass disappearing comments fiasco yesterday had clearly gotten Blogger's attention. I've seen a few of their employees come out of the woodwork and work to solve the problem. Now that they're paying attention, I want to make sure that you and MJ's missing comments get their attention as well. Hopefully, with other Blogger employees on the Forum now, we can get even more help to resolve this issue. But I have a feeling that they're actually freaked out now and trying hard to figure out what's going on.<br /><br /><b>Mago</b>, I'm currently thinking about how to proceed and which course of action is the best possible to achieve a solution to restore MJ's and Leni's comments.<br /><br />I'm going to test the waters and see what happens. I'm trying to figure out how to keep Blogger engaged in investigating and solving the problem without alienating any support from other bloggers and Google employees willing to help us. A week should've been enough time to find something, anything to explain what is happening with MJ's and Leni's comments.<br /><br />Give me a little more time to work out the alternative plans of action. One thing for sure, Google employees are paying attention now, esp. with the comments blackout/disappearances from yesterday.<br /><br /><b>Leni</b>, I've noticed that those Top Contributors on the forum are kind of like volunteers--fellow bloggers who've taken it upon themselves to try and help out other bloggers with issues, esp considering that Blogger (nor Google) does not seem to have a customer support service (or they don't have a very effective one).<br /><br />I think those Top Contributors, like Nitecruzr, can help get Google's attention. That's helpful, since I've a feeling that there aren't enough technicians/engineers to provide great customer/tech support for the millions of Blogs on blogspot. Having someone like Nitecruzr's support helps keeps our problem visible--which is what we want--and will most likely get Blogger's attention much faster.<br /><br />Since the mass disappearing comments fiasco of yesterday, I've seen a bunch of other Google employees start posting on the forum. That's a good thing! That means they're actually responding to the problem. I want to make sure they also respond to ours--namely, the return of you and MJ's disappearing comments and keep the new comments you both post from vanishing.<br /><br /><br /><br />Troops, I'm currently pondering several alternatives to figure out how to proceed from here. For now, I'm doing some intelligence gathering and scouting out the Forum terrain and developments. I'll have a better idea of what our next course of action will be once I test the waters.eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-79860439798421177902010-07-07T04:21:00.737-05:002010-07-07T04:21:00.737-05:00Right, Mago, there's something very unpleasant...Right, Mago, there's something very unpleasant about this issue: that they never bother to explain what the hell is going on.<br /><br />So there's a high degree of uncertainty and insecurity about Blogger's technical issues.<br /><br />I find it very unprofessional to have to wait for a forum reply from someone who is not even a Google employee (if the Nitecruzr guys think it's worth it ... "we'll escalate this to Google" they often say). That's just not serious work, in my opinion.<br /><br />They don't need to explain the technical problems in detail, but some information would be welcomed.<br /><br />And yes, a soft apology would make them sound more reliable and nice.Leni Qinanhttp://www.dangerouswriter.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-86380886469538965622010-07-06T18:36:54.857-05:002010-07-06T18:36:54.857-05:00The dust will settle and then we'll see clear....The dust will settle and then we'll see clear. But generally, what is your assessment Eros: Will another combined action be necessary?<br /><br />I mean simply that we have no result yet: The comments keep getting deleted.<br />Now blogger had even bigger troubles with comments.<br />(My personal explanation is that somewhere a server went bang or malware came in.)<br /><br />Nightcruizer saied he would forward the problem to the great Gatsby. I am sure Nightcruizer did this, and google knows about the problem.<br />But sometimes in the near future we should ask how things stand and how how long this will continue. And whether the missing (old, not actual) comments will be restored.<br /><br />Some clear answers would be nice, and a little "sorry" maybe too.

I was starting to wonder if it's related to MJ's and Leni's problem. It's affecting quite a number of people and I see that Google is working on resolving it. Hopefully, they'll resolve what's happening to MJ's and Leni's comments. I can't help but think there's a link.<br /><br /><b>Ayem8y</b>, I just popped over the Blogger Help Forum once more to find even more help requests about disappearing comments. I wonder if it's related to MJ's and Leni's missing comments. I've a feeling that if they can restore the other people's missing comments (and it seems that they've started to), then they should be able to fix MJ's and Leni's vanishing comments problem.<br /><br /><b>Leni</b>, I was reading the Blogger Help Forum a few minutes ago and earlier in the day. It seems that the disappearing comments is a wide spread problem. I'm hoping they'll be able to fix it.<br /><br />I know that there is usually a discrepancy between the comments count and the actual comments that show. The missing comments are usually MJ's, the ones she posts using her Blogger login/account.<br /><br />Let's hope Google solves this problem quick!eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-36970999407227097042010-07-06T11:05:21.216-05:002010-07-06T11:05:21.216-05:00Your counter says 75 comments, but there are only ...Your counter says 75 comments, but there are only 72 in the comment form, just for your info.<br /><br />I hope they fix it soon.<br /><br />LeniAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-82287862917077928922010-07-06T11:03:33.157-05:002010-07-06T11:03:33.157-05:00Guys, please go to Scarlet's and Savannah'...Guys, please go to Scarlet's and Savannah's blogs.<br /><br />More blogs are having their comments eaten by Blogger.
