[OOC MOD NOTE] Comment deletion
If you're not aware, there's a bug in IJ's code that causes comments to disappear at random, and not reappear. Support IS working to track it down. If it happens to you, on any journal, any entry, open a support request and give them the URL and approx number of comments that disappeared. The more data = the closer they are to finding it. And when they do, it won't happen anymore.
In the meantime, if you have any long or info-heavy comments in your gaming, you might wish to make copies for emergency backup in case they vanish on you. They can always be reposted, although I've noticed the disappearing comments happening repeatedly on one of my entries as opposed to any others. If comments start disappearing to a post, either try deleting and reposting the post, or move the comments elsewhere while reporting the URL and problem to Support.
It doesn't happen to every post or all the time, which is one reason why it hasn't been fixed yet. It's actually an infrequently-seen issue, and only with the increased traffic and increased users has the number of incidents increased in porportion. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter, and Support apologizes for any problems this causes. They're doing their best to hunt down the problem. ==== http://www.insanejournal.com/support/see_request.bml?id=703& Thank you for your report. Support volunteers have been closely monitoring the issue, but are having difficulty identifying the cause. Our investigation has lead us to believe that it may be related to changes made in the site's database, but this is uncertain. This issue has occured before on the site, albeit infrequently. If you notice an instance of this happening again, please let us know, as it will assist our investigation. Support volunteers appreciate the extra information you have provided thus far.
Unfortunately, it does not seem to be possible to recover the missing comments. This data seems to have disappeared compIetely. I sincerely apologize for this. If you saved the comment emails you received from the site, then you will at least have a record of which comments were posted.
I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you.
