Mecha bug? Or is this just me. I routinely get pages with missing comments (sometimes even the original post is missing), and I have to reload several times to be sure that I got a copy of the page that has all the comments.
Like, comments missing out of the middle of the thread, or does the page just fail to finish loading?

I didn't want to say anything for fear of getting attacked, but the Profile -> Comments link doesn't seem to work for me. Just mentioning it, in case the issues are related.

Never seen the moschproblem, but I've got the same one as Alex.

OS?
Browser?
plug-ins?
extensions?
proxies?

Girl, don't make me type in ALL CAPS.

Comments falling out of the middle, at random. It happens often enough that on really interesting threads I count the alleged comment count versus the number of actual comments.

I generally read on OS X/Safari/No Proxy.

It's entirely possible that this only affects me, as I live in some sort of wormhole that destroys all electronic rationality. Example: I just received (five minutes ago) an SMS message that was sent at 14:16 12 Oct 2004. (and it really was sent back then. the sender changed phone numbers in 05.)

Please attempt to browse with firefox, and report if the same behavior pertains.

Mosch, it sounds like you think you are in the future. This really is 2004. What year do YOU think it is?

Moz 1.7.7, WinXP

Profile --> Comments --> ###

The page which usually lists commented posts loads, but does not display commented posts nor links to the posted comments.

(Oh, and the Valentines linky thing is still up; and no, a hard refresh doesn't resolve the issue)

I get the same error on Safari. Sometimes a view of the page source shows that everything is still there, so I think it's either an issue with css, or problems with unclosed tags. Either way, my gut tells me that the error is more to do with Safari than the page itself.

Hmm... I'll see if 10.4.5 or Firefox solves the issue. I'm hoping 10.4.5 does, since safari is so much prettier than firefox.

Just a bit odd, since I never have that problem on other sites.
