Like if I wanted to print to pdf an invoice from Ebay for a hard copy?
Although I need to go to print preview anyway.
Yeah, so evidently some people can see comments others can't. I have no idea what's up with that.
Sellers mostly are unhappy with Amazon's declaring Comments to Reviews were cancelled (as of Dec. 16, I believe):
So, I just fired up IE (ver. 11) for the first time in ages, maybe ever on this Win10 64bit laptop. Still cannot see the comments to that review.Just now, I let IE11 go online for the first time in ages, and it can see the Amazon review comments too.

Just opened Edge (again, not sure have ever), went to Amazon site, didn't sign in, found that review and still no comments. I have no better idea "where the problem lies" than I already did. IOW, basically none.Not sure if this has already been suggested but try opening Amazon in Edge and don't sign into your Google account (if you use one) and either don't sign into Amazon at all or make a 2ed "dummy" account for testing.
This should give you a better idea where the problem lies.
2nd user profile? You mean a different Windows user? I don't normally have more than one but can, of course, set up another.You can also try creating a second user-profile in Windows and maybe install something like Opera or Brave. Frankly I wouldn't even suggest opening IE11 on a internet-connected PC.
Really if you don't have a second profile set-up already I STRONGLY suggest to you do so asap regardless. I've had user-profiles get irreparably corrupted to the point I was unable to login more than once and while its possible to get around either way its MUCH easier just to login!
Umm, No. This could well be why they killed it off, or are considering doing so.The comment section also could become "unofficial support".
...Aha! I see the Comments in Brave Browser... it so happens I am signed in to my Amazon account. This is just nuts... NUTS!

I do have Brave Browser installed.
Aha! I see the Comments in Brave Browser... it so happens I am signed in to my Amazon account. "32 Comments."
No dice in Chrome, Firefox, IE 11, Edge, but Brave sees the Comments. This is just nuts... NUTS!
It may just be a matter of time until Amazon blocks Comments for all browsers, I would think they could do that with a snap of their fingers (figuratively).
Well, I have the free version of Malwarebytes installed, but AFAIK it doesn't do constant monitoring, I figure that's the professional version. I have the default Windows security settings, haven't modified them whatsoever. Windows 10 Professional 64bit. No other anti-malware programs.I'm thinking its a security setting on your PC/browser or possibly an over-aggro anti-malware program.
As I mentioned make a second Windows user-profile and install a browser you don't regularly use. Aside from a little work doing so it can only benefit you.

So, if I set up a 2nd user account in Windows, my other browsers won't work in it, I'll have to install them in that account? IOW, new installs? I'd think, of course, that Edge and IE would work already, being Microsoft.
I look for external reviews and look up the product makers. If I can't find the company that produces and sells the product, I almost always pass. A lot of companies make products solely for Amazon and have no presence or reputation outside the Amazon bubble. Even external reviews are tricky, as more an more sites use 'affiliate' links *only* to help make income for their sites - this, IMO, taints the reviews. Youtubers who do this don't bother me, so long as I trust the reviewers.I've already made it my policy to only buy from Amazon directly for any item over approx $20 due to shaky at best "marketplace" sellers which have reduced them to "sub-Ebay" reliability levels.
Much more of this type of nonsense and I will stop buying anything expensive from Amazon at all under any circumstances. (just like I did with ebay a LONG time ago)
I meant that in the sense that end users can help each other out regarding the product.Umm, No. This could well be why they killed it off, or are considering doing so.
Apoplectic? I wasn't even angry, much less apoplectic. I simply saw you say you didn't see value in a retailer allowing honest feedback on purchases. That's what I saw.
Well, I never said they didn't have the right to screen comments for inappropriate content. Amazon has always AFAIK never posted reviews without a period of gestation, which I assume includes some kind of inspection for appropriateness. However, I did notice that comments were not subject to similar gestation, so I had to wonder about that. Why weren't they similarly careful? Maybe that's why they decided to jettison the whole thing. Still, it's a shame.
But that's not what they did here. I have no quarrel with them censoring inappropriate content. I would have issues with them deleting any negative reviews. In this case they have axed a long standing feature, being comments, basically wiping out probably 100s of thousands of comments, if not millions.
Again, reviews are not discussion areas nor negotiating tools.. I left a poor review on the Tractor Supply about some things that failed too soon for me. Shortly after I started getting emails from the store and the manufacturer seeking to resolve the complaint. I never replied to any of them. My purpose was to accurately relay my opinion of the product, not to seek interaction or resolution.I meant that in the sense that end users can help each other out regarding the product.
Sometimes official reps do post as well, often in response to a negative review.

Being an old browser might have something to do with it. Comments show for me on IE11 on Windows 8.^ I am not running the current version of Firefox. I'm running a souped up, well worn in, old version 54 that will have to be pried from my cold, dead, hands.
Sometimes, the extensive mods and blocking I do with it, breaks sites, so I run latest Chrome too but as you see, the latest isn't always a solution. Yes there are some Firefox add-ons that slow it down, even create memory leaks so you have to choose carefully. The memory space in Firefox is apparently not infinite, can run out before your main system memory is exhausted including the x64 version.
Just now, I let IE11 go online for the first time in ages, and it can see the Amazon review comments too.
Maybe this is an experiment by Amazon, put the statement out there that they're going to do something then gauge the internet response. It seems pretty coincidental to have both of these things happen within the span of a couple weeks.
Is there an official statement by an Amazon rep instead of just 3rd party questionable info? Sorry if someone linked that already but there is only so much time and so much text to read...
Actually I have done the latter and it was indeed a hassle to get to that point. Chat is much easier though.Yeah, I will buy on Amazon sometimes rather than, say, Ebay because I'm more confident I won't run into hassles if there's a problem. Amazon customer service is relatively excellent. I can get an associate on the phone in a matter of a minute or two. Try that with Ebay, I dare you.
