Um sorry to bother you but do you know what a purple comment at the bottom of the screen is? it shows the person who commented and I'm wondering if it's a PM.

Do you have a picture? With the new layout, I'm not even sure...

(Anonymous) 2012-11-15 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
I turned off the new layout. At the bottom of the page, I selected Japan and Japanese and now my nico is nico again. Yay!

(Anonymous) 2012-12-07 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
this is just my guess, but i think 4649 is the same as 4679: yoroshiku. this is because the 4 in japanese can be either pronounced as 'yon' or 'shi' (yon-roku-shi-kyu).

(Anonymous) 2013-03-06 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
This is really old, but maybe you should add 'hshs'? It's a sort of excited, perverted breathing when anticipating something in excitement.

(Anonymous) 2013-04-05 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
i'm wondering what a series of h's mean, like hhhhhh. another variant of www?

Do you know what it means when they start writing only 88888888888888888888

Thanks

[personal profile] stephieku 2013-06-16 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
It's explained above in the list :) 88 in Japanese sounds like "pachipachi" which is a clapping noise. 8888888 is applause.

(Anonymous) 2013-06-16 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)

Hi!

I guess accidentaly marked mi comments as NG. I was just trying to see if there was a way to edit them (I did a english translation for a spanish song) but all my comments disappeared from the video and now my ID appears on the "NG設定" option.

What should I do for fix this problem? there is a way to make them get back on the video? or delete them and replace them with the correct translation? I wish you can help me :).

Do you mind sending me screenshots of the video's options? And the NG sections? I'm not sure how to fix this, but I can try playing around to figure it out. Which video is this?
