No need to rush about getting the module rushed to marketplace.
Thank you for answering my additional questions, and for fixing this up.

Duh! lolol Thanks Paul.
As long as the count can be accurate I guess I don't really need the module to tell me how many comments it deleted (maybe that's a popup setting in my Chrome or something, who knows).

Since you put in a fix on the next Comments Module release, I'm guessing it's not due to a custom template override of mine, correct? And if that's true, then it'll automatically get fixed at that point on my other pennywhistle site without my doing anything, right? (the whistle site is mostly a test site so is not important at all to fix up right now).

Where is the Rebuild Counts Tool? I don't see any Tools tab in the Comment Delete custom module. ?

Thanks Paul!
I'm still seeing aproblem. I ran integ check, hard refresh, etc etc.
In that private Mod group, look at the "Should We Do Something About..." discussion- it still says there are over 300 comments in it, but I've run the 90 days delete on it from both Chrome and FF, and now i manually count about 42 comments remaining... but again it still says over 300, ...........and also in Chrome it does not tell me if or how many comments it deletes (like it used to so nicely). I think in FF it is at least telling me how many comments it deletes.

Paul, something's not quite right.
In that "moderator's Chitchat" thread, I do see that the oldest comment is now from Aug 16. I continued clicking on "show more" comments until there was no more 'show more' link, indicating that was the end of the comments- I then counted them all by hand from 8/16 til today and it's in the neighborhood of 120 comments. However, on the Group's Main page it continues to show that there are 659 comments in that discussion.
This is the problem- for me it not only has completely stopped telling me how many comments have been deleted, but I also am no longer able to see an accurate count of comments.
Over the past couple of weeks no matter how many times i've tested deleting comments, the indicated count for that discussion remains somewhere in the 600 range. And it never tells me anymore whether it has deleted any comments or not, or how many.

See my above two posts for example of where I'm having this issue. Thanks!

Ok, I just tried to trim comments in that same discussion from Firefox. With both the 90 day and 30 day options, I get this popup: "No comments older than 30 (or 90) days found". I don't get that message in chrome. But the trouble is that discussion has PLENTY of comments older than those options.

Paul, I think you have my Admin login to Fotmd.com. I got the module to successfully work in one discussion in this (private) admin group, but not in this other discussion:
https://fotmd.com/strumelia/group_discuss/2725/moderators-chitchat
That discussion has 668 replies (comments). As master damin, I try to use the module to remove all comments in it older than 180 days (doesn't work), then i try 90 days, finally i try 30 days,... and I still have 668 replies in the discussion. I've tried a browser hard refresh, clear cache, and also an integrity check after these attempts, but nothing changes.
Occasionally, I get an error popup when i try, saying: "FOTMD.com says: undefined". But mostly when i click to go ahead and delete some posts, the screen refreshes and and nothing has changed.
It used to be I'd get a message telling me how many replies were deleted, but i never get that message now, even on the occasion when it does delete some older comments.
This is on win10 on chrome, btw. I'll try it out on Firefox now and report back here.

Disappearing Edit/Delete Icons In Comment Boxes (again)

Using Jamroom

Yes, I just inspected code (in chrome) in a random page post of a forum discussion just now, and I find:
:D
Of course, i had to know what i was looking for and find it via a code search, because i couldn't do it the quick way by hovering over the element in the Inspect window to locate the code, without it toggle/disappearing when i tried to hover over the element... (oh the irony!) But after locating it I see how the code is changed in the way you describe, to change its behavior. I understand what I'm seeing but lack the skills to write/fix that code.
So, i thank you for explaining all this so clearly to me- i do grasp the concepts and I really appreciate you taking the time to show exactly what you did, Michael. And I saw where you also fixed it up on my pennywhistle site template in the Comment module.

So, one last question just so i get this clear in my head:
this modified template- i see the changed code in the jrComments MODULE... so it was a module template override causing the problem. But because my custom skin does NOT have a "jrComment_... " template at all, then that means there was no override code that needed fixing in my custom SKIN in this case... only in my Comment module. Is this correct?

Disappearing Edit/Delete Icons In Comment Boxes (again)

I'll send an email with my login. Unfortunately, I can't seem to make this happen by trying the refresh while leaving the cursor over the buttons. And it seems to happen randomly so I'd have to wait til it happens again in order to send you an url. However, I do notice that it seems to happen to me most when I'm trying to edit a post- either in Forums or Group discussions, or both. But that might simply be when I notice it most, since it stops me from doing things.
Thanks for looking into this! Note- I'd have to tweak the skin on both my sites, not just on fotmd.com.
