Well, I've done a lot of testing and I can't get any of these comment problems to happen again. But I saw some happen yesterday (in the wild, as it were) so I know that something is up. I'll keep looking.
Did somebody say something about having to scroll down on the /settings page before you see any text? That doesn't sound right. Can someone confirm this with browser/OS information?
Does this happen on any other pages?
Thanks.
There are definitely some problems with the [x new comment] counters. This is a result of some new capabilities (yeah, I know) that were just added. I'll get this all straightened out by tomorrow. If anybody notices they make a comment that then doesn't show up, please write to me with the following info:
Did you post from a comment box on the comment page itself, or did you add the comment from a posting page that only contained a posting box (and no comments)?
Did you post directly as a comment, or did you use the new 'preview' feature?
Thanks.
I have not done serious testing, but I believe that preview mode now works for comments. There could well be errors (with the [x comments] comment counters, or the [x new comment] counters on the front page.) Please let me know if you think something is funky.
Also, there is a new page /settings where you can make some adjustments. More options are coming. Right now you can use /settings to manually zero all your new post/comment tracking counters. Plus you can assign a pixel dimension for all your posting boxes. Plus you can set a default behavior for converting line breaks to HTML (you can either have this default to on - checked - as it does now, or you can switch it to always default to off.) Also you can turn off or on the options of preview and pending (future) posts.
I'm sure this is confusing. Any help with the language that might make these options clearer is much appreciated. Also ideas for other settings.
