Sorting "My Comments" July 9, 2001 8:07 PM Subscribe
Not exactly a bug, but this seemed like the most relevant place for this question:
Hey Matt! What happened to the handy dandy "my comments" sort?

Interesting. It ain't there for me, and I'm on ie5.1/mac, too. I have no idea what's going on, but on MeFi the sort pulldown has only recent comments, most comments, and date.
Maybe it was something I said?

actually, people report intermittent problems with it showing up. Try deleting your cookie and logging back in, but so far I've never been able to nail down the problem.

Have you made any comments recently? Maybe Matt coded in a maximum number of days the database will look back, and if you haven't made any comments in that length of time, the option simply won't show up at all.

It fails due to cookie issues, most of the time. I've got the problem thisclose to being repeatable in IE, and completely recalcitrant in Netscape.
This, because my work machine doesn't show My Comments.

Deleted cookies. Re-logged in. No My Comments. MetaFilter hates me!
Anyway, it seems like this is just my problem, so sorry for clogging MeTa with what amounts to a personal problem....

Hm, I wonder if the overwhelming amount of pancakes are affecting the cookies.

For me (MSIE 5.5 on Windows 2000), My Comments never seems to show up unless I try another comment option first. It then shows up on that page.

I've found that if I select a different view (say, recent comments), then the next time I drop down the list I see "My comments." But I don't use those views enough to know how often that works.

I do what dave does. Usually, "my comments" reappears, as if by magic or elves.

You are not logged in, either login or create an account to post comments
(looking and working swell, IE5.1/Mac - in its rightful place)
