Blog comments counter

[Harvestman]

Having just started a blog, I have 5 or 6 comments in response to my first blog post. yet the blog counter says I have 2 comments. I wonder if it is only counting comments generated from the blog page. Either way, it is misleading.

While I think of it, I've been able to stop myself receiving email notifications of replies to my threads, but can't see how to do the same for replies to my blog (and incidentally, related to the comment about the counter, I've only had two email notifications of comments as well).

Umm, I'll try to work out what's wrong there, I've just had a look and see what you mean...

You can write blogs on the Bcuk forum or does it link to blogs on other sites..... Blogger in my case?

BCUK has a blog facility for full members. I've just started using it.

Interesting

This still isn't working.

On this blog http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/entry.php?b=29 I can see 7 posts, 2 by me, 2 by Earthgirl (actually the same comment twice), 1 by Goatboy, 1 by Niels and 1 by DaveO. However, the blog post counter only says 3 posts, and Niels says when he looks at it he can only see three posts as well. I haven't had 5 emails to notify me of comments either, just 1.

 

[Niels]

I just see two of your comments and my one

 

[Harvestman]

Interesting. My comments, and Niels', display with the usernames in green. Those are the ones Niels can see. The other four display with the usernames in blue. I don't know if the colours have any significance.

 

[Goatboy]

For a little extra info I can see 4 posts, 3 in Green and 1 in Blue. The Blue one is mine. The order I see them in is Harvestman, Goatboy, Niels & Harvestman again. Also in the namebar for each post there's the usual () report triangle, but in mine alone there's (

) a smaller triangle with a mail sign. Which says moderated comment when hovered over. Have I done something bad? looks like my full post is there.


Cheers,
Goatboy.

Just had a thought on the colours, the Green ones are both full members and my Blue one is the only non full member. This follows on in the colour coding in the Currently Active Users table in the Forum Index.

Good thought, but I would still expect that
a) all posts made get counted, and
b) everyone viewing the thread sees the same thing.

Neither of the above appears to be true.

I'm not too au fait with forum mechanics but I concur with you. Was just giving you & Tony another snapshot perspective.

Hope you get it fixed and it's good reading.

Tony, just to say that your test generated an email to notify me of a comment. So that worked.

Thanks for looking at this.

I've had a play with this, the comments from the non FM's were in a moderation que, i'm not sure why as it's not set up that way, if it carries on doing the same thing let me know and i'll have another go at it.

All good right now

Ta very much.
