Help!! I @!*!%&#! Deleted All My Lovely Comments!

Why do I do these things? I know just enough technology to be dangerous. I should know better.

I was on my blogger dashboard, just surfing around, and clicked on the "comments" tab. Wow, I thought. There are almost 700 comments in here. I should delete them so my blog will be faster. And so I did. Not realizing that these deleted comments would also delete the comments that showed up on my posts. And now all my posts are bare, naked, unloved!

I want them back!

Can anybody help me? Anyone? Any............? *Big Sigh*

There's only one way to get them back, and only if you moderate comments: http://www.bloggertipsandtricks.com/2009/07/how-to-recover-deleted-comments.html

Angela Brown said...

OH NO! I'm so sorry. Too bad there isn't just a "Give me back my darned comments!" button. But I suppose that would be too easy.

Miranda Hardy said...

That's horrible. I was freaking out an hour ago because everyone I follow disappeared. Now, they are back, sort of. Not on my dashboard though. It's weird. Hope you can get them back.

Claire Robyns said...

What a nightmare, hope that recover link works and, next time, just say 'no' when that shiny 'delete' button winks at you :)

Sarah Tokeley said...

Oh no. I do hope you can get them back :-(

Gwen Gardner said...

Joshua, thank you. I delete my deleted emails about once per month, but I have a ton of them in there now. I don't know what it means to "moderate" your comments - I'm notified of comments via my email...anyway, I will def try this later...Thank you so much!

Gwen Gardner said...

Angela, I love that idea! If only we could do that for everything:)

Miranda, that happens to me sometimes, too. Blogger isn't always reliable!

Claire, thanks. I'm never going to mess around in there again! (yeah, right).

Sarah, thanks - I'm going to need some luck and a bunch of time, I think!

I moderate comments to approve them in an effort to keep my readers from having to view spam comments that turn up every so often. It's the situation when you post a comment and see the "Your comment will be visible upon approval by this blog's owner" message.

Your receiving them in your email is adequate enough so that you can re-post the comments yourself. One by one.

I wish I could help you. I did the same thing...but I deleted my entire website. Everything was wiped out. I'm like you - I know just enough to be dangerous.

Good luck, :O(

Glad someone had a solution for you. One thing I hate about Blogger is that there's no "back" button. No "undo".

Anonymous said...

That's awful! I don't know any solution to that (sorry!). We could create new comments? I'm not being that much of a help -.-;

Stacy S. Jensen said...

Sorry. Here's a another new comment. Maybe it's a good time to do a post on popular posts and then some of your newer followers can stop in and give you some comment love. Best.

Gwen Gardner said...

Joshua, you are a genius!!! I've recovered some of my comments through the link you provided. It's time consuming, but so worth it to get back my bloggy love. I looked in Bloggers help menu and found nothing, except for other people with the same problem looking for answers! I owe you Big Time! *Big Hug* Did I say you're a GENIUS?!

Gwen Gardner said...

Michelle, I darn near deleted all my posts, too! Under the "comment" section there's a button that says "delete content." I almost clicked it thinking that it meant delete all comments at the same time. Thanks to Joshua I'm on my way to recovering a lot of my comments - one by one:(

Gwen Gardner said...

Angelina, it would help if Blogger was clearer on what you were actually about to do!

Sabrina, I'm able to recover and repost the comments that were in my deleted email, so at least I'll still have some bloggy love.

Gwen Gardner said...

Stacy, that's a great idea! Hmmm, I wonder if Blogger still knows which of my posts was most popular now that I've deleted the comments? I'll have to check it out!

Anonymous said...

Blogger tracks post popularity by number of page views. The only way to delete that I to delete the entire post or blog. Also, don't do that, please. ;^)

Gwen Gardner said...

Joshua, LOL. I will not delete all my posts!

Melodie Wright said...

Oh, I've done the same thing - but only to one post. ARGH for you...but at least email is backup!

Gwen Gardner said...

Melodie, I'm glad I had about a months worth of emails to recover my comments! It sure is time consuming, though:(

Anonymous said...

I'm sorry you're going through this. This hasn't happened on my Blogger account but on various websites, personal and for work, I've accidentally deleted things. It's a pain to recover or redo the info.

Unknown said...

Crikey! I didn't know that was an option. Did you manage to get them back?

Gwen Gardner said...

Medeia, I was able to recover about a months worth of comments because they were still in my deleted emails. Very time consuming getting them back in my posts, though!

Rachel, be very careful when curiosity has you snooping around in Blogger, that's all I have to say, lol!

Mildred R Holmes said...

well, I'm no longer getting a warning every time I try to visit your blog.

Gwen Gardner said...

niiganab, you were getting warnings? I wonder why? Maybe it has to do with security settings....anyway - thanks for stopping by!
