Addicts Housekeeping: Comment Screwup

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Just a quick note.  Some of you may have noticed over the last couple of days that the comments on some of our larger threads (Open Thread, Labor Day post etc) have been all screwed up.

Replies weren’t showing up where they should have and comments were disappearing all together.

I can assure you this was not us.  We weren’t deleting your comments (or any threads).  WordPress had a massive bug that was causing these issues.

Fortunately all is resolved now and comments are appearing back to normal.  So if you replied to someone it’s showing up once again.  🙂

Sorry for the inconvenience!  And thank you for your patience as we worked with WordPress to resolve it (note: it wasn’t just our site impacted.  They said they received loads of other reports).  Just happy all is back to normal now…well as normal as we get around here! 😉

Housekeeping Note: Missing Comments

If you’re having trouble viewing the comments the direct link to them is here: http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/12/09/housekeeping-note-missing-comments/#comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Many, many, MANY of you have commented today that you can’t see any comments on posts.  This is a WordPress bug.  I’ve spoken with them several times, and they’re working on fixing it (they were FINALLY able to duplicate the issue tonight).  However, until it’s fixed there’s not a whole lot I can do…and it’s not just annoying you, it’s annoying me too.

So here are a couple of temporary solutions…

You can try commenting on the post, many readers have said commenting will bring the comments back. (even if you comment is just a 🙂 )  However, it’s only a temporary solution, once you close the page they’ll disappear again next time you open it up.  So you’ll need to do it again.

The other option is to go directly to the comment thread on a post.  You can access that by doing a /#comments at the end of any of the posts web address.  For example the calendar post would be:

Christmas 2015 Calendar: Act One

That should directly load the comments for you.

I’ll also try posting this direct comment link at the top of each post, for quick access.

Hopefully WordPress will have this fixed soon…I know it’s making us all a little crazy!

Thanks for your understanding!
