How is it possible to lose a comment that I received? No big deal really but I am curious. I didn't think it was possible to delete comments.

Presumably this was on an image in voting? If so, users can delete those just by removing the contents of the text box. On images not in voting, I don't know how that would be done without specific action from the SC.

Nope, I only have one photo in voting and it still has the same # of comments.

I am not certain about this, but I think that if the voter who made a comment did not vote the required 20% that the comment is expunged along with the vote.

If it's from your portfolio, did you tidy up your portfolio recently? (by tidy up, I mean delete or hide some). That's the only way I can think if it's nothing to do with a challenge.

I think you'll find it with your missing sock. :)

That is strange though...

well, on the Top 10 Statistics List of Comments, I have 11,700, but on my profile page I have 11,659, somewhere I lost over 41 comments since the last update...I've sent in an inquiry to the SC...I actually have a little over 11,700 and I keep watch at all times...so this is very weird indeed...so I'm not alone

Something is a foot McFly...

Nope, it happened overnight.

If YOU delete a photograph with a comment, you loose the comment.
If the user that left the comment account get closed, you loose the comment.
If a voter votes less than 20% you KEEP the comment.

Just a few thoughts.

I didn't delete any photographs with my comments (no photo's at all)
Maybe someone's account got closed...don't know
I'm not talking about received comments...but comments that I have made...

Last night I was at 11,701 I think..today 11,659 - 41 comments less (made not received...) kind of weird

I guess that if someone left DPC (how could they) and they were active in the Challenges/Side Challenges then I might be able to lose 41 of my comments...but I don't know...seems like alot in one day to loose

Someone was probably cleaning up their portfolio. Mine is overdue...so don't be surprised if you lose a few more.

Guess I was typing quickly at work yesterday when I should have been concentrating! What I meant to add was I tidied my portfolio up a few weeks ago, deleting some images with comments, but the total number of my comments did not change. However, yesterday morning (or whenever it was - I'm in a different time zone than normal and am 12 hours out of balance with the DPC world) the number had dropped as I would have expected when I cleaned the portfolio earlier.

I've lost comments before from someone getting kicked off DPC and their account being removed.

My creature had 9 comments - and now it has 8. I was wondering myself how that could be...
