Melvira,
I have to agree with you wholeheartedly. I too am appreciative of all comments on my photos but certainly feel the ones telling me exactly what the person liked are more fun and helpful. When I leave comments on photos I try to tell the decorator exactly what I liked because that's what I like back for myself too. Even if it's just the border or the colors or design. Heck even the cake board or stand. Anything!

when I like a photo, I make "full sentences" comments.
If I do not like the what I'm seeing, I don't make a comment.
You know they say: "If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all ".............I try to live by that.
Oh I am sorry, I quite often write "nice" because I am trying to comment on as many cakes as I can find time to do so......its not meant as an insult........I have many cakes with not one comment, and that means to me, it was not even good enough to comment on....I will take "nice" any day .....
I so so love your pug dog cake.
I have a pug named Ryley and when I get better at cake decorating
I think I will give it a whirl.
PS all your cakes are awesome.
playingwithsugar - multiple photos should be reported, they are not allowed. this is a great post about it http://cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-ftopict-625406-.html
i like any comment, especially if theres specifics. but, il take anything nice.
anything not nice - reported straight away.
sometimes i can do great detailed comments, sometimes it just really is a nice cake - but i do try to explain why, like it all just works, or something.
i do go through the uncommented pages, there was a brief time when they were basically empty, so i was on the recently uploaded lot, leaving second comments. ah, those times were good!

Uh-oh, this thread has been resurrected! Another highly controversial subject which I am SO sorry I started. In my defense, that was like 3 years ago or something. I've grown since then!
Let's chalk it up like this... I am high maintenance. I have accepted that, I know it's true. I've spent years trying to deny it, but it all boils down to me being an attention whore. If you leave a comment like 'nice' on one of my cakes, I appreciate it. I really do! I smooch your cheek for thinking my cake is nice. If you leave a more detailed response, then I am just that much happier. I smooch both your cheeks! There are no right or wrong comments, I just really like the tasty ones that give me that wonderful feeling of accomplishments. So, I apologize to anyone who is offended, thinking 'nice' is bad in my book!
Thanks for the compliment on the pug cake. But I did his eyes too high so he kind of looks like a mixed breed. Hehehe. I want to do it over so I can make it right. Hopefully she'll want another one!
The fact that someone took the time to comment says a lot in and of itself.
Most of my cakes get very few comments. It is disappointing, but I've never done anything other than shrug and say whatever.
I've seen many threads where people complain how annoying it is everytime someone says "why doesn't anyone comment.."
So someone actually commenting and telling me my cake is nice tells me they liked it. Nuff said, for me!
I know this is about posting comments about your photo that you put up but I would like to add my .02... It would be nice to have someone comment or help when asked for help when you post something in the Forum. 4 days ago I asked for some help on some CasaBlanca Lily I have to do. I had one reply (by the way Thank You) and had over 50 people look at the post but no other replies??? Ok feel a little better

That does happen from time to time. It's a multitude of things. Some people look and realize they can't help you, so they move on without saying something, then other people pop in and see that someone else answered the question and assume that it's 'said and done' so they don't comment either. I know it's frustrating, sorry!
I'm w/Mel, I'm kinda an attention whore too! When I finish a cake my BF will sometimes say, "Yeah that looks good. So about my new tool...." on a cake that took me hours & I'm exhausted! So I post my pics here to get my "warm fuzzies". Lame, yes I know.
I am appreciative of comments & have started asking for criticism. I've gotten some good suggestions from ppl already & was happy that they took the time to tell me how to improve (as I'm self taught). THANKS!

I think many are checking to see if there was an answer, because they most likely don't know the answer either. There is no sense in everyone commenting saying "i'd like to know the answer too.. or BUMP" because then someone has to scroll back to the first page of the thread and find the exact question. Those who can help are generally VERY helpful.. so just be patient Many times i've posted something and haven't gotten any responses.. such as last week when I requested a Mocha filling. I got one response. I'm sure plenty of people have great mocha recipes, but not the time to post it, or those who did look wanted the reicpe as well. I don't take offense to it.
This place is super helpful so i'm sure those who can help will help =)
Thank you guys...I do feel better! I'll just wait until someone can give me a hint on my questions. I do love this site and I have learned alot just from the short time I have been a member....Again Thank you guys
