Technical Problem With Comments?

Someone emailed me to ask,

Is there some technical issue that needs sorting on your end or mine?
I’m only able to read about two thirds of the comments and then the rest of the section is blacked out.
Hope you reply soon because I really look forward to reading the rest of them – especially yours.

Is anyone else having this issue? If so, would you please comment (if possible) or contact me with a description of what you’re seeing, and what browser and operating system you’re using? Thank you.

    Is this still going on? Some of the comments seem to be popping in and out.

    I am seeing the same thing.

    I’m not quite sure what you mean by that…

  4. GM says:

    Come on Tom, “popping in and out” is a totally clear and technical term. Put down the CompuServe diskette and get it together.

    I just mean sometimes on page refreshes, some comments disappear, and then if I follow a different link path, they are there again. Which is what I should have said to begin with.

    I just made a change behind the scenes that might make a difference, though it could take it an hour to propagate around the web. Let’s see what happens.

    I see comments appear in the side bar, but they do not appear among the comments for the specified post, even when I clear the cache.

  7. chapman55k says:

    Now they appear. What you did must have worked.

  8. Tom Gilson says:

    Let me know if it doesn’t last.

    Having problems with comments.

    In the thread “Ten Reasons the Bible Has It Right on Slavery” the comments stop at 30 Aug. 2014, more precisely, your comment — that is Tom Gilson — firing Mr. Tanner.

    Cleaned up cache and cookies to no avail.

    note(s):
    – using reqonk on Kubuntu 14.10 (upgraded no fresh install).
    – this is a relatively recent event; it was not happening when *this* comment first appeared.

  10. G. Rodrigues says:

    And problem solved.

    Solution: post a comment.

    Weird.

  11. G. Rodrigues says:

    Apologies for cluttering the thread, but problem reappeared: newest comments advertised on the main page, but as soon as I click on them, I get an old version of the page, e.g. my last two comments do not appear.

    Going to post this; if the problem is solved by posting, as it was previously, I will edit the post accordingly.

    Edit: and as expected, the posts appear alright. Let me make a second test.

    Edit 2: comments are also refreshed in the “Ten Reasons the Bible Has It Right on Slavery” thread.

    Let’s see if this persists.

    Strange–it happened to me, too, in a not-logged-in browser. I posted a test comment under another name that’s still in moderation, and that took care of it for me, too.

    It probably has something to do with page caching. I’ll work on it.
