Poem Hunter Members' Difficulties [ Recently ] In Sending Poem Comments ….[ Nov. And Dec.2017; P H Trouble; N O T Funny! ; My "Inconvenient Solution" To A ' Commenting-Problem' ]
I must be crazy to make my "inconvenient solution" known, to YOU, …....for NO FEE.
But, if you really wish to, after reading this, you MAY send your gifts to Bri, that's ME!
Now into a 2nd month of this ‘Comment-Submission-Travesty', SOMETHING must be done! !
I've heard much grumbling amongst the members; I hope none of them have/has ………a gun! !
It took some time for me to perfect my ‘method', which I will generously now share... with you.
It involves breaking up my ‘Complete-Poem-Comment' [CPC] into smaller parts; for me it's usually...MORE THAN TWO!
I guess if most members only give VERY short comments, they may NOT know ‘of what I speak',
BUT I also say, I dare say, the problem most likely causes fewer comments to come to us; that's very….."WEAK"! ! !
So, if you've been stymied sending comments, whether [{NOT "wether"}] ‘good' OR ‘bad', ……
FOLLOW MY ADVICE, and senders, AND recipients aka receivers, of comments, will be glad, NOT sad! !
A.Type your comment somewhere; I happen to use my wife's suggestion: Microsoft Office Word.
B.Then copy and paste (C & P)each piece, not ‘too large', into a poem comment box; send One At A Time; you should THEN be ‘heard'.
(December the 16th, ….2017)
p.s. Later you may wish to click on "Member Area" and then "My Postings" to see if PH 'says' they ALL were posted.If so, the comments should all show up on the poem page as separate comments.Sure, it can be a pain in your butt.
But……..do you have a better solution? ? I think I'll send this poem to PH as a "Complaint" after selecting "Contact Us" from the menu on PH's "Help" page.

Giving a comment in the comment box is ideal for me.I can simultaneously read and write.While writing it may not be possible to count the number of characters.It breaks the thought process if I have to write somewhere else, then copy and paste. When PH says it is more than 300 characters I delete some sentences.But I do not like it.
There is more trouble than just sending in comment. At times I can’t even get to my own page. To get around it I had to go to my poems list and hit preview. This worked! But not being able to go to your own page! ! ! ! Nothing can beat that!
Bri, the reply box does not appear if I use my iphone7. But when I use my Android Samsung tablet, the reply box appears.... I don’t have any idea of the technical situation...
(cont.) P.S. SOMETIMES (in the past month or so) WHEN I TRY TO SEND A COMMENT........PH BLOCKS MY WAY, but i've found that, BY SENDING ANY MESSAGE TO THE POET, I CAN eventually SEND THE COMMENT as i tried and failed to do at first! ! ! ! sometimes PH asks for my name but does not supply the needed line on which to type it. PH's requests disappears after i send a message to the poet. bri :)
(cont.) it is true that in the past half a year PH has displayed poems with spaces (between words) deleted from the text. sometimes i think PH also puts spaces where there should be none. ALSO PH's censoring of poems can result in at least one word being missing after submission e.g. sh+t works i believe in a poem, but if i put the following letters together: s h i t..it would NOT work/show up. let me see if s h i t shows up now. bri ;) (cont.)
(CONT.) Devanshu mentions 'some middle words missing' after copying and pasting part of a poem. it could simply be his error, or perhaps another unexplained gaff...oops! ! GAFFE (gaff is something else! !) by PH. (cont.)
Very useful piece of information! I am following this method. However, I am unable to reply reader’s comments (since last three weeks) . I have communicated it to PH team but I don’t know when it will get resolved (? ?) ….. Could you please let me know if any other alternatives are there? ..................Dillip
Always great to hear your pain Bri...... Ha You keep the team together!

Yes, we all had problem in posting comments! If the comment is long, invariably it won't go. Breaking up the comments into smaller bits works perfectly! You are absolutely right my friend and now I have begun posting shorter comments and the problem is solved! However, dear friends... follow Bri's advice and you won't have any more hiccups, posting comments! Thanks for sharing!
