We are aware of the comment borkage

Yes, I am aware comments are borked on some recent posts - I apologize. It's apparently a code issue at Sb, and I can't fix it.

If you click directly through to a full post, you may not see comments. If you click on the "comments" link at the bottom of the post on the main page, you may be able to enter a comment there, but you won't see the full post anymore. This appears to be more of a problem for people using Firefox than for those using Safari.

And sorry about the timing - I know there are some lovely ladies anxious to express themselves about my last post. I've now added a link at the bottom which will hopefully enable you to view/add comments even if the coding issue continues.

I'm going to intermittently keep track of the comments I make on other blogs. I'll spare you the totally trivial ones, but I don't guarantee this to be especially interesting. One point of doing this will be to track the ones that "disappear" on various sites (no names for now) that I've found don'…
Since my move here to SEED scienceblogs, I made a mistake of assuming, quite wrongly, that most of my visitors are aslo science bloggers (or people interested in science) who, almost by definition, regularly read all of the other SEED sciencebloggers as well. I forgot that some of the readers are…

This appears to be more of a problem for people using Firefox than for those using Safari.

For the other three people (besides Greg Laden and myself) using Linux, Konqueror also works fine.
