On the off chance some comments are getting through, this is the issue. In the past when this has happened, comments posted in that time aren't always restored to display properly, so please be aware and check! It won't be visible even to you in a thread if so!

Yes yes, you can now all chuckle at the irony of AskHistorians mods being concerned that comments are getting removed.

UPDATE: It looks like the backlog spike is declining and comments from that time seem to be showing up. All the same, please do go back and check to be sure. We won't be able to know something is missing.
