    It has been a year. I am still not able to use the comment swap. It says I still have to comment on the same story but now it won't even give me a link to the story.
    That's because it's glitching for the majority of users (your glitch is really common) and Dujo hasn't updated it yet (he's been busy getting married tehe)

    And he is the only one who can fix this? I've given 12 comments out, but I haven't gotten any in return.

    (Congratz to Dujo on his marriage/wedding!)

    He sure is! It's best to not use the feature and instead use the manual comment swap thread or post a blog or something like that Cute

    There's an official thread here that we're sending to him, if you're interested tehe

    Is there anything I can do when I left a comment but it is saying I still need to comment?

    You could try posting another comment (ensuring that it is relevant to the story and is over the character minimum), but I'd say that it's very likely that the feature is glitching for you and that the only thing to do is wait for Dujo to update the feature.

    Hey, I was just curious as to how comment swap works? Is it a round robin? Or is it like, if I comment on Bob's story, Bob will be the chap to comment back on mine? Was just concerned because I'm getting a lot of old stories to comment on and so far, I've left 5 comments and haven't had 1 back :o

    Comment Swap is simply users both providing feedback for each other and it is randomized in a pool. This is why there is an uneven amount of feedback received and given; there are still some things to work out in the system. However, the system is broken as of now and the only one who can fix it is the creator of the site, Dujo, but he hasn't gotten around to it yet.

    For now though, people make "comment swap blogs" and try to go by a code of honor to swap for feedback within their blog comments. Hope that helps; I don't comment swap so excuse me if I'm not knowledgeable of the onsite system. Cute I've just seen enough comment swap blogs to know the alternatives available until the system is fixed.

    Aha, I see, cheers for letting me know :) I wondered why I wasn't getting anything xD

    What is a comment swap blog? Is it just like a normal blog but you offer to swap comments in? I've made one blog post so far but I dunno a lot about it yet :)

    Not a problem. And yeah, it doesn't filter out stories so if the person hasn't used their account in ages (as in, their feed on their profile page is blank) chances are they're not coming back, which is unfortunate. And not helpful if you want feedback. Shifty

    Yes. So the author of the blog will state what they want to read; some people have an issue, for example, with reading stories that are NC-17 and contain themes of incest/rape. They state that in their comment swap blog. Oftentimes, they'll ask that you comment first. That's why I mentioned the "honor code"---some people will either eventually comment back and apologize if they don't get to it right away, while others, sadly, do not comment back at all. Be careful of that. There's no harm in sending them a message if you think they forgot though!

    In some comment swap blogs as of late, people will ask if you kindly "recommend" their story and they might do the same for yours, which ends up in exposure for both of your pieces. I think it's a fair trade off in addition to the swapping.

    I don't think there is a solution - the comment swap is glitching for the majority of users who use it, so you'll probably be stuck on that story and will have to wait for Dujo to update the feature before it will come right.

    The comment swap feature hasn't been working for me for something like the last year -- very close to when it was first released. So yesterday, just for kicks and giggles, I took another look at it. It had my request for a story still in it from when it started glitching on me all those months ago. I cancelled my request and re-entered it, and -- wa-la! -- the comment swap immediately gave me a new story to comment on. So happy to see this!

    Just wondering if it's worth using the actual comment swap feature, like as far as it working and actually getting stuff back, or if I should just make a 'comment swap' blog?

    It's highly likely that you'll just get stuck on a story if you try to use it, and since barely anyone is able to use it you probably won't get any comments back. It would be more worth your time to make a blog or use one of the comment swapping threads.

    I tried to comment on a story that had no chapter. It's refusing to give me a new story. What should I do?

    Unfortunately you will just have to wait until Dujo updates the feature.

    That's because the comment swap feature is glitching for the majority of users on the site, so barely anyone is able to still use it and give out comments. If you're interested in doing a comment swap, you'll have more luck posting a blog or participating in the manual threads in the forum!
