    I'm getting an error message when I try to send a comment, so I've no idea if it's gone through or not, or if I've sent them the same one ten times grrrr.

    Sorted my earlier paypal query - thanks again ANDY597!

    Now starting to send in items - I know saying this doesn't help you or whatsername as such - but fwiw they are getting thru ok, first time.

    My reviews are also going through with no problems. Have done several today and there are quite a few topics available at present.

    Just wondering whether your anti-virus might be stopping comments going through. It might be worth checking.

    Good luck

    Contact us is a broken link for me too. I still haven't been paid, one month now.
    There is no way to contact them.
    I just chose a topic and typed a message stating pay me please etc. It's submitted so
    let's hope someone reads it.
    It would be great if it works, but it's a waste of my time so far.

    I'm pretty sure if you search this thread you will find a contact email for them. Start at post one and work forward as I'm sure it was near the beginning of the thread.

    If you have no luck let me know and I'll wade through my deleted emails and see if I can find an acceptance email address for you.

    I got this address from one of their earlier emails:
    [EMAIL="contact@writersshare.co.uk"]contact@writersshare.co.uk[/EMAIL]

    I hope it still works.

    It also says on the site under the "Get Paid" heading along the top:

    Payments are currently ongoing: we pay every day while we work through our backlog and wait for Paypal to verify our account

    So I think they are still working through the payments. I got paid the first week but I'm still waiting for 7 payments from them.

    Im quite surprised this person hasnt been paid, everybody else on the threas seems to have been settled up until now.

    How many comments did you write and being self critical for a minute, do you think they were good enough or indeed long enough for exceptance.

    I dont think they were sending, accepted / declined emails for a while and it could be simpy your comments have been binned. No offence intended.

    On a different note, whats the signs or RSI as i think my fingers are going to fall off.

    After not having any topics for so long, Im spoiled for choice and my fingers are typing as fast as I can. I reckon I must have done about 40 comments today.

    Hi Andy

    I can't remember how many comments I made, between 15 and 20 before the site went down. I did these in two batches, the first I got emails accepting all but two of the comments. I never heard anything about those two comments, one way or the other, and never got paid for them

    In the second batch I didn't get any emails at all, but got paid for all comments. The second batch was done just before the site went down.

    I believe my comments were good enough to be accepted. All were over 400 words long and some were over 600. Sometimes I start to type and forget to stop!

    That's how I got the idea of doing my own blog, as my comments were good enough, and long enough to be posts and not just comments.

    As for RSI, you don't usually get that from typing, if you type properly. It's normally through using your mouse too much, holding your arm still and just moving your wrist.

    I think what you are suffering is over worked fingers and hands. You are not used to typing a lot. Most people who use a computer click with the mouse far more than they type. They soon get tired when the have to type a long piece of text, or type many comments.

    Writersshare recommendations regarding comments are as follows

    Keep it short and simple - about three paragraphs (150 words).

    Their page says how to comment
