Not seeing comments on Writedge and Daily Two Cents?

Are you unable to see comments on Writedge and Daily Two Cents articles that aren’t yours (meaning, that you didn’t write) when you’re logged on to either site? If so, don’t panic.

This is a known issue and the site admin are already working on fixing it. This happens on both sites and the issue is described more thoroughly here. You can also check out the site forums for more information.

Work-around to the commenting problem

Here’s how you can comment on Daily Two Cents and Writedge articles until the issue is fixed:

  1. First, open the article that you want to comment on, but make sure that you’re logged out of the site where it’s located. Since you’re logged out, you can see all the comments (if there are any) on that post.
  2. Scroll down to the comments section or click on the “reply” link if you want to reply to a comment. Type whatever you want to say.
  3. Instead of submitting your comment right away, open a new tab in your internet browser. Access the site where the article you’re commenting on is posted. Log in on that tab.
  4. As soon as you’re logged in, go back to the tab where your message is. You can now post it and it will get submitted with your Daily Two Cents or Writedge profile info since you’re already logged on to the site.

    When the page refreshes, you won’t be able to see anything on the comments section anymore since you’re already logged in.

    But, if you log out and check that article again, you should be able to see your message listed alongside the other comments.
