Am I doing something wrong?

I can still see no more than about ten comments on any section, and this is what is worrying me.
It does take some time to go through each section and have a think, even if you don't comment.

I've submitted my comments and my Lovely Cousin is doing hers at the moment. Our kids have promised to submit their comments within the next few days, as have my Outlaws and the carer I helped recently to get a ParkingLie scamvoice cancelled, but it will still only be a drop in the ocean.

We have a voice, but unless I'm looking at it all wrong, only a handful of people have commented so far and we only have less that a fortnight to go. Tiz worrying.

I am planning to do, and was going to ask elderly parent whose just been invoiced, but to be honest I think she’d take one look and run a mile. It doesn’t sound very user friendly for a non technical 81 year old who still prefers to do things by post.

You won't see the comments once they have been submitted.  Try it with one of your own, make a comment somewhere and save it, log out, then go back later and log in, your comment is still  there, now review/submit and press submit.  When you try to find it again you cannot see it.

No, that's not right. For example, under 'definitions', section 3.21, there are four comments, and mine is #4, dated 21/09/2020, which I can clearly see, and it has been submitted.

I think you need to log back in, and click 'review comments'.

There are a total of 319 comments to date, although it's not clear how many different people that includes. It isn't necessary to comment on every single clause, many of them are perfectly fine as they are. You should only comment, and suggest alternative wording, on those clauses which don't go far enough in favouring the consumer, or give the PPCs too much wriggle room.

Weird, if I log in I cannot see ANY of my comments!
ETA Just logged in again and yes, I can see 4 comments in 3.21, however I have previously commented in this section and submitted and if I choose User Saved Comments from the drop down box, there are none.  Checked with 3.33 Surface Marking and I know I commented on that because I went to town on the inadequacies of block paving and that is not there for me to see.

I log in every day to the PAS and I can see my comments as well as those left by others, but there are very few comments per section. I would expect to see hundreds of comments condemning ANPR for example, but there are only about half a dozen.

My Lovely Cousin has just logged in and I can see her comments, all of mine, and a handful of other comments per section.

Whilst there might be several hundred comments in total, there are still only single digit numbers of comments against any one particular section, implying that only a handful of people have commented.

I've just looked at 3.33 and can only see two comments, one of which is mine, and neither of which mentions block paving.

Which proves my point that once submitted, they disappear from view (at least for me).  Later, when I get back from choir practice (strange we only ever get as far as lubricating the larynx), I will ask a question on the web site.  When I asked before about this phenomenon, they responded very quickly.  With your 3.33 comment, have you submitted it or just saved it?

Fruitcake

I have submitted all my comments. My Lovely Cousin has submitted some of her comments and saved others.

I shall now ask the question of the BSI; it is very confusing why some comments can be seen and not others.
