I was checking my own profile because it's been quite some time since i checked it. Some friends left a comment so i want to comment back to thank them but myLot gave me an alert message telling me that i should be friends with this person to be able to leave a comment. Surprisingly, the person is me. lol!

Hi modstar.
If you want to comment back to your friends, you have to go to their profile page and leave your comments there.

Exactly modstar! It's like Moochie's dog collar...It's there but you can't use it. LOL! LOve that analogy!

Yup, you're absolutely right. I made the same mistake the first time I tried to comment back.

i have gotten the same message when i would try to leave a comment on a friend's page.what's up w/that? they are on my friend's list so that makes them friends, right?

Yeah modstar, you owe me a response to my comment. LOL. Well, yeah, I have tried that too but it did say, "you have to be friends with this person....chu chu....". I thought it meant person as in the one who commented. So I had to visit the user's profile to see if we are friends. We were! So I had to logout and login again with the hope of probably refreshing the page but still it didn't. I even wanted to PM the person as to why I can't comment back to him. Good thing my guardian angel whispered to me that myLot meant ME as the person spo it saved me the embarrassment.
Aiza: add as a friend
Aiza: pending friend request
Aiza: approve
Aiza and Aiza are already friends.

I shiver at the sight of (-)! I hope one person knows someone has been rating him/her negative for my sake. LOL. Bad modstar!

Sometimes I'm my own best friend..... my own worst enemy too, for that matter. But I haven't tried to leave myself a comment yet. Maybe next time I want to pat myself on the back for something I will try.

Hello modstar,
Oh, this is funny! Are sure you have to add yourself to your friend list to leave a comment? Maybe there 's a mistake somewhere. I seldom update my profile. I remember the last time, I left it half way while updating it. So, it is a bit upside down right now. Few days ago, I managed to 'clean up' a few places but still, I don't really like looking at my own profile!

I think it is the same as not being able to comment on your own discussions. You can leave a comment on the profile of the friend who left one on yours but you cannot reply to it as that is like commenting on your own profile.
OOh I feel dizzy now after that comment.

Hey modstar! That makes no sense whatsoever! You have to be
friends with the person that you want to leave the comment to!
How can you be friends with yourself? There was some kind of
communication error obviously! You don't want to leave a comment
to yourself! You must have done something wrong! You have to
go to the person's profile that you want to leave a comment to!
If you are already their friend there shouldn't be a problem.
Try it again and if it doesn't work then you need to contact
mylot admin and explain the problem!

It's always a good thing to be friends with yourself. I mean if you aren't friends with you....who else can be?
Seriously, I think when some one leaves a comment on your profile page, if you want to thank them, you are supposed to leave that message on their page. Otherwise they would probably never see it. I didn't know we couldn't leave a comment on our own page though...how else are we supposed to give ourselves a needed pat on the back? Kisses for Moochie

Ok, you see here is the problem and i'm glad i brought this topic up: You left a comment on Moochie's photo right? You were asking what he is looking at. I was about to comment back on your comment but i couldn't because me and myself aren't friends yet. See? So do i have to look for you just to tell you that Moochie is counting cars on the road? Quite inconvenient huh?

Counting cars...or just waiting for a (VW) rabbit to drive by? Hahaha As far as replying to messages left on pictures...you can always go to any of your friends' profiles and leave a message...right? Not quite as convenient as leaving it where you saw the original message, but still gets the job done. I'm sure you have better things to do (like hunting for donuts?) than to spend time looking for me. When you get donuts...do you share with Moochie? Is he happy to have you home?
