I think there just haven't been many new comments this morning. Go make some.

No - they don't seem to be there.

I've had to make some changes in that area, as it was causing crashes for users who've made a lot of posts. It's possible that I commented out the "new comments" section while testing.

The good news is that the bug is fixed. Turns out that the following lines...



$content = preg_replace_callback(

    '/[\x80-\xff]/',

    create_function( '$j', 'return "&#".ord($j[0]).";";' ),

    $content);

were completely screwing memory usage up. And if that looks nasty, then that's because it is.

I haven't been noticing them either and was planning on an email this morning. (Except that I got slammed with articles at work.)
