Going back through older posts brings them back alive This evening I decided I would go back through my older posts seeing if I had missed any comments. The first I’d covered all the comments, however a for post further on there was a few comments I’d missed or not seen before. I commented and 10/15 minutes later I had a few new comments, 3 in total. Wow I though going back over older posts kind of brings then back to life. Have you done this before got back thought your older posts and suddenly have new comments on those posts? I might do some more later but if I don’t I will be doing tomorrow.

It sounds like a win win situation to me. It is especially helpful for some that may have under performed

Great minds think alike or what I like to say like minded. I wrote a similar post on Bubblews. Yours is way different, but same thought more or less. Pretty funny and I wish I could show you. My posts fell with bubblews, except for one that was robbed which still stands on the internet. I did save a few, but I do not care for them. Way to talk about my own writings. lol

@mimiang Bubblews closed it doors back in October I think it was.
@kevin1877uk (36988)

Yeah they should have given us a warning so that we could get all our work of Bubblews. I had over 2800 posts there, maybe have 100 saved.

When you commented on some of my older posts it brought them back to life and other people started commenting on them. I thought that was kinda crazy

Is your laptop's screen resolution over 100% . Then for you to always see all the responses over the usual 20 , have it at that . That also happened to me some months before .

I do that from time to time. We do somehow miss posts. Or some just don't make it to us for some reason. Either way, going back is a good thing. Especially when we are all caught up with our notifications.

every now and then I do, I haven't made a concentrated effort, but I do know that sometimes notifications lump stuff together and later I catch some I had missed.

That really is the problem when you aren't here and yo see the notifications but don't scroll down the post to see more comments thinking that there is only just that one. Maybe if the didn't lump together it would be easier to see all the comments you have.

Occasionally someone comments on an older post and it often leads to a string of activity.

Whenever I comment i get many in return; when I am dormant comments also taper off. When others get notifications about our responses they too get back to us. It is a good idea - siva

I often comment on posts that are years old if it catches my interest. On PP it was a coin. Here, I don't know if commenting on an old, old post helps.
