[b]I posted a new comment on another user's page[/b] (profile page, picture, story chapter, etc.) [b]but it did not show up. Why?[/b]

Actually, we don't know why either.

Sometimes when you post a new comment, the page doesn't update immediately to reflect it. This is caused by caching (storing a copy of the 'old' page for quick reference), but that's all we know.

Fortunately, this bug is only visual: Your new comment is not lost in the system or anything, it [b]has[/b] in fact been posted. If it does not show up now, it will later, so try not to worry about it in the meantime.

A little more information about this bug, gathered from reports and direct observation/experimentation:

[list][*]Switching your comment view from the default setting ("Recent 10") [i]after[/i] posting a comment will force it to appear.
[*]However, any comments posted [i]after[/i] changing your comment-view settings will not be displayed for that particular setting.
[*]Switching between auto-resized and full-view has no effect.
[*]Using a different Internet browser has no effect.

[*]If a staff member is browsing with "show deleted comments" enabled, the bug does not seem to occur [i]at all.[/i][/list:u]

Unfortunately, this is still not enough information for us to figure out the cause....
