The Opportunity Crisis video's comments went in a hurry, all 1,900. I was checking in on the videos all day. One time I checked they were there, an hour or two later, zero comments.<BR/><BR/>janejane, that's true. But, if this isn't corrected, someone can do it like 5 hours after the next video is posted. It would affect us then.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754228927937283278.post-34395043396078082612007-11-07T19:30:00.001-08:002007-11-07T19:30:00.001-08:00On the bright side: At least the view counts are n...On the bright side: At least the view counts are not affected. The comment counts seem to matter the most the first several days after a video has been posted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754228927937283278.post-18213448171957700392007-11-07T19:30:00.000-08:002007-11-07T19:30:00.000-08:00hmmmm, that makes sense probably.

If it was a hack of the password, the hacker could have just targeted comments but not been malicious enough to delete all the videos...<BR/><BR/>I looked for an option to delete all comments on my own account, and don't see one (unless there is some trick to it like changing video sharing options and changing them back or something).<BR/><BR/>Do you know whether the comments disappeared all at once for each video, or did they disappear in batches? This might give an indication of the method used.QtheChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218758159201317186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754228927937283278.post-75695669213837622502007-11-07T19:26:00.000-08:002007-11-07T19:26:00.000-08:00qthec,they ahve not been hacked because the log in...qthec,<BR/><BR/>they ahve not been hacked because the log ins say like "4 hours ago" at the same time that the comments are being deleted. You have to log in to do that.<BR/><BR/>It's something outside of the account. If someone had access to the account, they would not be deleting comments, they would be wreaking havoc. Deleting videos, changing the channel, uploading porn, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754228927937283278.post-10415578702274805492007-11-07T19:24:00.000-08:002007-11-07T19:24:00.000-08:00scary and frustrating!

I'll try to be better about putting important stuff onto the fora (that is the plural of forum, right?) so that there's a record. there was some choice theories, etc., on those comments that now might be lost.stevemedigodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00949196791775862570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754228927937283278.post-5189228327633859042007-11-07T19:14:00.000-08:002007-11-07T19:14:00.000-08:00You wrote: "The accounts themselves have not been ...You wrote: "The accounts themselves have not been hacked, but somehow the comments are being deleted."<BR/><BR/>How do you know the accounts have not been hacked? Unless there is a bug as you are assuming, the most likely explanation is that someone guessed the account password(s) and has deleted the comments by logging in.QtheChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218758159201317186noreply@blogger.com
