Hi there. I recently posted my first fanfic story, and I keep getting email confirmations from the site saying:

Quote:
Anonymous has posted a comment to your Blue Sun Room Fan Fiction titled 'INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM MAGIC'.

You can go to the following URL to read the comment:

http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=5185#0

...but when I follow the link the Anonymous comments don't seem to exist. The non-anon comments I've gotten emailed about do show up. Am I missing something obvious, or do Anonymous comments just drop into the void?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Someone has rated your fic without leaving any comments.

It's because we used to allow anonymous comments once, until some trolls decided to have some fun. Anonymous comments were turned off, but I guess I forgot to remove the notifications. I'll go and fix it. Unless, of course, we turn the anonymous back on. What do you think?

I'm fine with disallowing anonymous. (I mean, I'm new here, so it's not like I have a huge vote anyway.) Generally people do use it to be unreasonably snippy, though. :)

Thanks for the explanation.
