Why is this getting modded up? Can someone explain to me which "stupid thing" could have been overlooked, and which would result in me reporting that IE7 rendered comments correctly yesterday but not today, and which is rectified by me being told to stop using IE7? That's a completely different approach from "let's check everything that could go wrong, even those involving stupid errors", and so is not justified by Vladimir's lecture about ugh fields and overconfidence.
"don't form an ugh field around the hypothesis that something stupid was overlooked"
That's why I upvoted. I can't speak for others, but my prior for p(site issue) is pretty low. You do not seem to have exhausted the possibility that something was changed on your end without your knowledge.
I can't see the comments under posts anymore. This just started happening in the last day or so. (If I know a comment is there, I can still see it in the "recent comments" section.) I'm using IE8 at work (CORRECTION: IE7), where a lot of stuff is blocked for security reasons, but not in a way that kept me from seeing comments until recently.
What changes were recently made to the site that would cause this? It would be really nice to undo those.
Btw, I won't be able to see the replies to this post unless I find them under "recent comments", so ... if you want more specifics about how it looks on my end, you'll probably have to PM me.
