Can you see a line? Blog!

OK, comments are becoming a bit of a nightmare!  The point of them is to allow people to give their opinion on your test – to explain why they’ve voted yes/no/maybe.  But sometimes they can be hard to judge – is the person just trying to be honest, or are they trying to be mean?

Even with the best of intentions from whoever is leaving the comment, it can come across as very harsh to hear that your line looks like it might not really be a line after all.

Furthermore, it can be very difficult to judge the tone of a comment by the words on your screen so it’s easy for a comment to come across as insensitive.

So, for those who’d rather not have any comments at all, you can now choose whether you allow them or not on your test picture page.  When you’re adding a new test picture, you’ll find an option “Allow comments” with yes or no options.  It’s near the bottom of the ‘add new test’ page, below “Allow voting”.

You can also go back and edit an existing test to disallow comments, which will hide any comments already posted.

For those who are allowing comments, please bear in mind that they are just opinions – nothing more, nothing less.  Nobody can possibly know for sure, just from looking at a picture on a screen!

And just because someone had a test that looked like yours and they weren’t pregnant, doesn’t mean you aren’t.  Likewise, if someone had a test that looked just like yours and they WERE pregnant, it doesn’t mean you are too – you would need to have a pregnancy confirmed by a medical professional.
