| Commenting Tips: COPY!!! |
 |
| 最近經常都係用手機睇blog同留言.. [...] 因為用手機留言用得多, 教識我一個留言好竅門同養成一個習慣, 就係要時時刻刻COPY自己嘅留言.. 唔係寫完先copy, 而係仲係寫緊嘅時候都可以咁做.. 等我話你知點解呢個習慣值得學習, 尤其當你正在「流動模式」中, 不過當你用緊PC接緊Wifi時都可能會發生以下狀況:-
我確實係賴過唔少嘢呀, 真係好激氣㗎!! 我相信大家肯定有過類似經歷, 唯有重新再寫過個消失無蹤嘅留言, 痛苦!! 大部份嘅blog又冇「自動儲存」功能, 唯有自己郁手啦.. 請大家相信我, 你係唔會後悔咁做嘅!! :) |
| i have been using my phone to read blogs and type comments for quite some time now.. [...] and using phone to post comments has taught me one great tip and cultivate a habit in me, that is to always COPY the comments, not only after you have finished typing but also while you are typing.. i shall tell you why this is a good habit to learn, especially if you are in the "mobile mode" but the following may also happen when you are connecting to Wifi using your PC:-
i kena this many times and this is one of the most frustrating things that could happen on Earth, and i am sure you have had the same experience to retype the whole chunk of comments too!! most of the blogs do not have the "autosave" feature, hence it has to be us to do the manual save.. trust me, you won't regret doing this!! :) |

Thanks for sharing... It can be frustrate that after you type in something halfway and the whole comment is gone...
ReplyDeleteYou hardly spam here so your level of frustrations cannot beat those Top 5 in the chart. Whenever our long comments disappeared after posting it here, we would scream our lungs and tear our hairs out. A blogger victim has lost a plentiful of his crown after spamming for a year.
DeleteDon't mentioned about phones with that small display, I can even lost my long comments on my notebook when I accidentally click on other buttons which somehow exit the browser or go back to the previous screen. And, when I returned back, it's all gone.
DeleteNowadays the notebooks also has a lot of function keys where you can accidentally press the function button follow by the key. Better to be safe, by copy & paste or copy to notepad if you are away for a while.
This advice is very timely! Of late, I noticed that the first comment that I post on blogspot will disappear. It does not happen when I comment the second time (either on the same or another blog). It happens without fail and that taught me to copy before clicking on publish. But sometimes I forget and lose my first comment of the day. Very frust!
ReplyDeleteNow I understand what is meant by the message "conflicting updates, comment not posted". I used to wonder what is that? Now I know that it is caused by more than one person posting a comment at the same time. So coincidence hah..hah... and that's why the comment crashed. Would that happen to just me or me and that other person?
DeleteOh I thought you knew all those alien words of lost comments here. I think it happens more often in word press than blogspot.
DeleteAlso, the first commenter also kena and makes me wonder why so jinxed? Maybe SK programmed who the FC should be and whoever not in the list ends up in black holes. Wakakakaka
yeah, losing the FC status can be very frustating! Perhaps SK should remove it... hahaha... It will affect your mood to continue spamming.
DeleteSo far I have not posted comment using my mobile. I am still not used to typing on the phone keyboard. Always make mistakes and sometimes when I hit an alphabet, another alphabet comes out. This really make me bad mood!
ReplyDeleteI will never forget that you only types comments using your PC. You make me wonder how fat your index finger could be for hitting wrong alphabets. Maybe you can try using the last fingers to type. Stay safe!
DeleteYou need to have thin fingers and a big phone , at least 5" and above ...muahahaha...
DeleteFor you copying comments is VERY relevant because your comments are very heavy in content and very long too hah..hah... No, I don't mind it at all. In fact your comments are a joy to read and shows that you read and really savored my post hah..hah...
ReplyDeleteJust imagine losing paragraphs of your comments! Wah! Start all over again is very frustrating.
You are so lucky to always get sweet comments that brought you joys for reading. You should see his comments for me when his mood was good and frenzy. He could make me burst out in laughter or cry out buckets of tears! This Thambee is sometimes scary and could shoot venomous words at Anay.
DeleteI kena many times already, that was before I use Word to comment.. Before that, I commented in some blogs, quite long also leh, I think it was yours or something, then leh, when I click publish, all gone or something, I forgot.. So I pressed back button lor, worse, all gone.. So I gotta re-type.. And when I re-type, semangat also gone already, didn't type as much as the first one already..
ReplyDeleteCommenting in phone is the same.. Lastime, I used to comment at home first, before leaving for work, but after kena a few times, I rather comment at work at my pc.. When I comment in the phone, I didn't click copy like you.. Then something happened, the comment didn't show up.. I clicked back button, also gone.. So, lesson learnt.. I only comment in the office using my pc after that..
DeleteAnd since I'm commenting from office pc, I cannot maximise the window.. Coz there are bosses and colleagues walking around.. And from far, they can see the screen.. So that's how I got the idea of using Word lor..
DeleteUse Word good.. Win-won situation.. Can pretend to look busy, and no need scared comment gone or what.. Just copy and paste after I type in Word, senang right? And somemore can divide the comments into whatever paragraphs we like, to make it look longer.. Smart, eh?
DeleteSo leh, my advise is, if can wait (the blogs won't go away la, and no harm commenting later or not the first commenter), comment when you reach office, using pc.. If can, don't comment from phone lor.. Dangerous, unless copy like you said, but mafan lor..
DeleteComment from phone giddy oohhh.. Tuk-tuk in phone, keyboard so small, somemore commuting that time moving here there, wah, giddy and dizzy oohhh.. Hahahaha..
DeleteAha! I never forget this smart and brilliant Princess Ribbon who fooled Anay many times as the fastest keyboard warrior who could type 8 comments per minute. Muahahahaha....
DeleteSo you have always been safe with saved copy of comments. We need more smart ladies in this world.
Princess has learn her lessons well, now an intelligent commenter and fast too!
DeleteWondered why you have no post today, then who knows when I check you have one now...umm you recently very 蛊惑, keep on change the time, wahahaha!!
ReplyDeleteAnd also another one, I guess this happens to those who clear they "browsing data history" everyday. Like me, I like clear my browsing data history once in awhile, because I don't like to see to much stuffs in my google chrome or safari or anything. I usually do it at night, but guess what, I forgot it on the next day, I forgot to login first...so like this...the first comment I wrote will be gone.
I have to clear my browsing data everyday without fail as my office's personal PC, my iPad and mobile phone share the same history of what I googled daily. This is quite annoying at times as wifey accidentally saw what rubbish I googled in office from the iPad at home. It was nothing serious except that the connected sharing networks could be dangerous sometimes. That's how the bank accounts could be leaked into world news.
DeleteWhy you stopped FC now that SK has changed to afternoon?
Xiao Ying - Yeah, I thought there was no post on Friday morning then when I log in yesterday night, I saw this post. hahahaa... Clearing browsing data is good as it secured your PC, especially browsers like Chrome can be used everywhere and your cache will be available too in other devices. You can alway bookmark the sites you wanted to visit or add the blog feeds to your blog or other portals like Yahoo!.
DeleteTM - What have you been surfing ? hahaha...
Adui! I lost the comments I typed many times, especially the first comment before I login to google. Sure lost one. Therefore I copy my very first comment now. By the way, whenever I type long comment to you, I compose it at my Microsoft Word, then I only copy to the comment box. Sure it is very safe as I have written down in Microsoft Word. I feel so frustrated whenever I lose the comment I type.
ReplyDeleteI never typed my comment through my mobile phone. I was not used to it at all. I also seldom read blog from my mobile phone. I am so lazy to type with mobile.
DeleteI am also only typing from PC keyboard. Call me auntie, I don't mind. I just can use my mobile to type short sentence in Whataspp or FB only. If i am going to type essay type of comment, I will use PC keyboard.
DeleteAnyway, it is good practice to copy our comment while typing. Thanks for the tips, I will then feel much safer to type with my mobile phone. Regardless it is for blog comment or whatsapp, right?
DeleteOh boy! It just happened to me again. I was replying the comments in my own blog. I replied SK's comment. When I published, cilaka! The web page is not found error appeared. I quickly clicked at the back button, then I couldn't find my comment. I clicked at the left arrow button, I also couldn't find my comment. I blamed myself for not copying the comment. Then I refresh my blog just to give it a final confirmation of the lost comment, hollysmoke! I saw my comment was published. Phewwww! Scare die me!
DeleteComposing your comments in MS Word can be tedious , as you needed to write there then copy and paste back to blogger. I think the rate of failure is not that high in Notebooks/PC compared to mobile as you likely using a wifi, which is mostly stable.
DeleteHmmm ... what browser you used ? Should get away from IE , try Chrome or Firefox.
I kena such case also, many times, so I always type my comments in a notepad then only paste in the comment box, a bit troublesome but this way I don't have to worry about retyping those comments. Of course this works if I am using laptop/pc la, if using iPad/phone then different story lo.
Delete就喺因爲呢個原因，因此我減產至今時今日咁嘅地步。
ReplyDeleteI kena lots of times.
ReplyDeleteAnd when sharing posts at FB.
Now, when I remember, I'd copy too.
It is true, I encountered when loading pictures and writing comments on FB, when my fingers accidentally swiped at other things, all my comments and posts gone with the wind and lost in the world.
DeleteYes, accidents alway happened especially when you typed fast and hope to finish commenting on a blog soon, and hop to another!
Deleteahaha i think we got the same habit here... after all that worst experiences I had when leaving comments to other blogs.. i was able to establish a habit to copy my entire comments first before submitting it
ReplyDeletein this way, i have a back up copy if an error occurred... although I really find it hard to do blog hopping using mobile phone.. the screen is too small for me and find it hard to type in comments
ReplyDeleteUnless you get a phone which is 5" or above, get ready the eye drops..LOL
DeleteAnyway, try using a tablet or something like Surface Pro. These are light devices and not as heavy as notebooks. Can use it outside.
you're right about that..
DeleteI think I will go to tablet soon... just preparing my budget to buy a good one LOL
yup.. that layout sensitive to swipe is also irritating when using mobile.. i tried accessing my top five blog and it does the same... is it weird to get upset navigating your own blog on mobile? LOL also I like to note that I find it so hard to copy and paste text using mobile that's why I stay with my lappy instead
ReplyDeleteI think blogger and WP are not too bad as they have their mobile versions. Of course, notebooks are more reliable and easy to read.
Deleteindeed.. i guess mobile-friendly version of blogs are great to drive more traffic since readers today are using their mobiles to red sites
DeleteOh yes, internet connection here in my country is way worst than yours and I often experience comment errors.. there were times that I am busy commenting and once I am ready to submit it, the connection will get lost and the page will suddenly become unaccessible and if I didn't copy my comment prior to submission, i will have no choice but to type them again
ReplyDeleteYes, especially when you are moving and the data connection was not good in a certain location, it turns from 4G to 3G then to 2G and all of a sudden, no data ...LOL
Deleteoh gosh that's exactly my experience... it's really irritating that you cannot get a stable connection.. i tried a couple of ISP now and I still have the same problem from time to time.. that's why copy pasting comments is the best way to deal with such annoying internet problem when commenting to other blogs
Deletewordpress blogs are also quite a problem.. because when you click the submit button twice (accidentally hitting it twice).. it gives you to an error page... some wordpress blogs allow you to recover the comments by hitting the back button but others do not and again, that leaves you no option but to type the comments again
ReplyDeleteThat's a common issue or behaviour with WP. Most folks experiences that but the good thing is , your comments still intact.
Deletethat's right.. most of the time the comments are still there once you hit the back button... although in my case, i experience some WP blogs where my comments went missing after hitting back.. yikes
DeleteAnd if you are the kind of commenter who tend to post novel-esque comments hehe, I'm sure it's going to be very frustrating when you encounter those errors hehe
ReplyDeleteIts better to type in notepad first then .... be safe... lol
DeleteI always copy my comment before submitting because nowadays in blogger, the comment will disappear after I sign on my blogger account so I have to do it two times
ReplyDeleteIt happened to me before when I had to retype my comments. Indeed very frustrating. That is why I prefer to comment on blogs using my laptop at home.
ReplyDeleteYes, very frustrating right? Especially if you have typed a long comment, imagine you need to recall back and retype everything! Same thing if we are working, typing something then forgot to save and suddenly there's no electricity, or something is wrong with the desktop.... Waste time also.
DeleteWhen I am late to comment in your posts, there were always valid reasons of urgency or frustrations that took place for sure. Last night I have typed my first comment using my @$¥£€#% iPad and your jinxed words really curses my very lengthy comments to disappear!! I was so damn pissed that I refused to re type because I did not save. It was not my first time encountering a David Blaine disappearing act using iPad.
ReplyDeleteI never have problems with my mobile phone to type comments but it always happened with iPad.
Now I will save this mother farker comments before David strikes again.....
Yoohoo! I succeeded and will jolly continue to spam here.
DeleteYou know what? I really obeyed your stinky mouth to manually save the comments as precaution. It is my first time saving comments in iPad. I often do that on my office pc which is easy.
Let me paste my copy to show off.........
Taaaaaaa daaaaaaa......

Yoohoo! I am back and glad my two comments didn't disappear.
DeleteI will definitely develop this habit to save my comments before posting on my iPad or pic. Just like you said, the Internet lines are not stable and this is a frequent occurrence in bolehland.
that disappearing comment act also happens to me most of the time here in SK's blog LOL.. I guess SK has a very huge commenter fan based and the traffic to his site is pretty much overwhelming hehe
DeleteAiyo... I will never use iPAD to comment as it always gave me problems. Its much better using an Android tablet. Somehow I find it very difficult to comment in ipad, maybe its the keyboard or browser. It always gave me 'your device i incompatible ..... message.
DeleteAnd, it hangs after I have typed in certain words where I needed to click the button done and get back to the editor. Very frustating!
I used to suffer and cursed the ipad when my comments went missing. Now I am taking Thambee's advice and have no more problems with ipad which can be the best gadget to be used anywhere for blogging purposes. It is light, flat and easy to use anywhere including the toilet and on the bed lying comatose.
DeleteGood advice! The conflicting message has happened to me many times so I will definitely copy the comment so that I do not lose it..
ReplyDeleteI also used to comment on blogs using my big note 3 for a while as that was also the only time I had while commuting. Well, I am taking an hour long bus to and fro my company an besides listening to the radio and reading news, that's the best time for me to keep updated on other blogs. After all, there's nothing to do while on the way to work in a bus. hahaha...
ReplyDeleteAnd, to those who read my comments, you may notice there are always typo error. Well, can't help it as I am using a smaller screen to comment!
Yes, I agreed with you that it's best to copy first in case your long winded comments are all lost due to certain reasons. Not just the above may happens but here's another list -
ReplyDelete1. Browser problem , especially after you have updated to the latest version. It just hangs or closed prematurely.I encountered this before on Chrome in my Note 3 back then.
2. You accidentally clicked on something like closing your browser app especially when the train or bus breaks... or someone pushes you in a crowded train.
3. Suddenly your keyboard hangs and you needed to restart the app, especially if you downloaded third party keyboards plugins.
4. While you are typing, someone calls you and when you are done with the call, you realised all your comments missing as you could have accidentally close all apps especially in Android.
So far, I ever encountered the conflicting message all in my life except Wordpress always complains of duplicate comments where I only posted once. Well, it might be I could have clicked twice and send the comments twice ... hahaha..
ReplyDeleteexactly... got the same issues with wordpress but i also think it is my fault for clicking the button too fast hhaha
Deletebluedreamer27 - I guess that's a Wordpress feature to inform us of the duplicate message. Thus, when commenting on WP blogs, we have to be a little patience. :)
DeleteI never owned a word press and have no idea which is better?? I could say that most word press layouts are sadly messy looking! Is it the fault of lousy choice of templates or the blog users are not creative to design good layouts....(?)
DeleteAnyway, I have stopped commenting on my phone lately after I have switch to iphone. Why ? Well...two reason :-
ReplyDelete1. I always realised Iphone complaint of some incompatible browser when I use Chrome to comment on blogspot blogs. Anyone encountered this? However, the comments went thru safe and sound but I find it irritating.
2. oh... lately, I used to doze off or rather taking a power nap in bus, so besides radio, I stop all activities in bus... hahhhaa...
Chris, it is good that you take a nap in bus rather than looking at your phone. I can't do anything on moving vehicles. I will get dizzy and throw out easily. Don't ever mention about writing comment for blog post or anything.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteYannie - hahaha... I just want to catch a nap as I always slept late and I want to feel fresher in work. Sometimes, commenting on blogs on the small screen easily strained my eyes, besides the irritating typo on other blogs.
DeleteSK - You should take a break too unless you are using surface pro or tablets. Rest your eyes.
You better revamp your whole lifestyle patterns of sleeping too late when the whole world is already asleep but you are reading blogs and surfing porns online. That's the problem for having a 'bachelor' life away from home. You end up struggling to stay awake at office with coffee and take cat naps on the buses daily. Your body and all its organs are screaming out when you torture them for the marathon running events. Go to sleep early!
DeleteI still find it the best and comfortable way to comment is vi my notebook and on a table. Thus, I love doing it during my lunch breaks though not all the time as its not convenient for me to do so. I only do it when my boss not around as well as the office is empty.
ReplyDeleteElse, I will just follow up on the comments during the nights and you may realised my late nights comments lately. :)
I do that too, especially on my alternate Saturday working day. On Saturday, only a few of us working, all bosses are enjoying their weekends. I will take this opportunity to type comments and read blogs.
Deleteerrr... Weekends I am usually busy thus I do it on weeknights. Anyway, on weekends, there are many updates as most of the folks have their family times or other priorities.
DeleteIf I am now working on Saturday, I will not read blog or leave comments on blogs. I will do that only on working Saturday. I hate working on Saturday. Like you, weekends are supposed to be meant for family. But, I have to work on alternate Saturday. It is so boring to work on Saturday. Therefore, I will use it to blog hop.
DeleteThen, I can type my comment with my PC peacefully. Shhhhh!
yeah... btw, typo in my comments, I mean 'not many updates' on weekends.
DeleteI will be busy with family on weekends, so don't think I will on my PC unless I have spared time and got nothing to do. If really nothing to do, i might take a nap to rest... hahaha... cos I don't get enough sleep during weekdays!
It seems that most bloggers worldwide will hibernate during weekends! The statistics reported that there are over 31 million bloggers in United States alone with 43% using Wordpress and 35% blogspot. Interesting?
DeleteWhat a sad thing that Yannie has to work on weekends in accordance to the trend of their parent company's native country. They clever to exploit the workers and many often had shorter lives. At least this smart lady would work smartly and read blogs instead but we know all know she comes here most often!!!! tsk! tsk!
I do read a lot of blogs over the weekend when I am waiting inside the car or restaurants or even toilet. I prefer blogs and not FB which is full of negative news and slanders by hate people.
On the other hand, you can get a Surface 3 Pro or a tablet to comment while commuting. That may reduce some mistakes and yet these devices are handy and small enough , unlike a notebook.
ReplyDeleteI have not used a smaller tablet other than ipad to write blogs. I am curious to try this Surface 3 Pro. Who can pinjam me???
DeleteNowadays I use my ipad to blig and comment...thats why there is no commas or (') when i cimment,.. Hahaaa...yes, it is pretty frustrating when the comment disappears after we click publish..
ReplyDeleteI think we need to throw away ipad when comes to blogging. It has been hell when we type comments. I only know that ipad is very user friendly to type and post new articles but we type more comments that posting in our blogs.
DeleteHaha I somehow agree with TM, iPad or phones, also very troublesome one. And I encounter one problem, don't know is it just me or what. Sometimes in the midst of typing comment in the comment blog, if I scroll up to read, and come back to type again, then the cursor will go disappear, no matter how I type also no use already. Means I must not stop typing, must finish typing all words in one go, if stop halfway, memang cannot publish already, tsk tsk tsk!
Delete10-July punya post!! So many days I missed blog hopping huh!! I have been kept super busy over the weekend and yesterday was public holiday in Penang as well...
ReplyDeleteI don't like typing text on my phone more than necessary, so I never leave comments from my phone. I get the frustration, it is so much harder to type on the phone screen compared to a keyboard, if the comment is lost, frustration to the max!
I think there is a higher risk of comment lost with the platform you guys are using, especially with this new Captcha verification thing. I have been on the receiving end of many "Failed to load" and comment lost, even from the PC! Every time I kena, I would do like you recommend, copy the comments before press submit, but after awhile become lazy to keep it up... until the next time I fall victim... :/
experienced the scenarios you've mentioned above and they really are frustrating so yes, we gotta learn to COPY our comments especially when using mobile. I do, though sometimes, I tend to forget. hehe...
ReplyDeleteSeems like smartphone is something everyone can't live without these days!
ReplyDeleteErm you cannot curi curi surf net during work? Not even a while? I knew you mentioned before that you blog hop while on the way to work/home. So I can imagine you are actually one of the 低头族 now, hehe~
Anyway, have to admit smartphone and data play such an important role in our daily life these days but for me, if I can choose, I will still prefer to type using keyboard lo, so much faster and more efficient!
Using smartphone got its pros and cons also la. Like those you mentioned lo. Sometimes memang copied already but can't paste! Cannot explain why also, so have to go back and copy again. For me, safest way is to type in notepad then only copy, instead of terus type in the comment box, cause unexpected things will just happen. We can't tell when our phones will go sort sort right?
hahaha...for a moment there i was puzzle why the said topic. Copying. Ingat copy cat in school or what.
ReplyDeleteYou also commenting on phone ah. Usually for your blog i cannot comment using phone coz will definitely kena one or all the scenario that you have mentioned above. Argh... really geram to the max when this happens.
Anyway, thank you for taking time to leave comment in my blog . Very hard to "tuk tuk" using the small phone while commuting to and fro work. Some more the shaking motion makes it harder. Lucky you dont have motion sickness .
I know how to copy comment AFTER typing but how can I copy comment WHILE typing?Got a special comment for that? am very interested to know.
I am accustomed to typing the press enter to comment. I do not have a habit of copying after typing the comment . hence kena many time like hard work all gone when one of the above situations that you mentioned happen
At times am just too lazy to copy and paste to S Memo then go back to the blog screen to press enter. Just too time consuming and also it takes up memory in my phone. Then later i have to go delete from my S memo pulak
Am glad your blog have auto save. Tadi i typed loooooong comment then clcik enter and the said say connection failed. lucky for me i just need to click retry. and it's not on my phone. if on my phone i would cry lo. coz if i press "back? all would be gone
ReplyDeleteThe most frequently i kena is item 1 and 3.
Not as much as item 2. Touch wood so far tarak kena mobile site for blogs that is sensitive to swipe. Or maybe have to do with some setting on my mobile phone kot coz i disabled several swipe function on my mobile phone. Phone too high tech but user like me not high tech enough to follow the trend. No choice. Better for me to disable them, lo.
as for item one "Page cannot be Display ", I kena many times la. at lwast for blog is still okay but when doing downloading ebooks or some transaction. That one really frustrated.
ReplyDeleteHow i wish the creator of the mobile phone have come up with something like "copying" for when I am downloading something. Meaning that it would continue downloading from where it have left off. I know some downloader able to do that for desktop and laptop. Maybe 5 to 10 years down the road the mobile phone creator or telco provider will come up with this function. Saved my data $$ a lot leh.
Oh "conflicting updates " means others also pressed enter at the same time ah? I didn't know that. I thought maybe I opened too many windows on my handphone so this happen. Bodoh bodoh me usually would close all the windows and open the page again after that .
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned blogs with autosave feature. How is that? maybe can elaborate how and whether we can incorporate it in to our blog. I know you one. You can teach in layman language till old dinosaur like me can understand. It would be nice if my blog have this feature(if it doesn't have it now). At least my readers if they get disconnected and they tarak copy their comment , the log would auto save for them leh. Thank you thank you first ah
