Another glitch? Comments not showing?

[lovecraft68]

I encountered one recently when I deleted a comment from my latest story (the comment was incoherent gibberish, so not helpful). When I went back to the Latest Activity tab, the message which used to read "Anonymous user has commented on your story" now reads "Someone has commented on your deleted work".

My work has most definitely NOT been deleted, so I'm guessing the backend programmers inserted the wrong text into the code, but it's still kind of alarming to see this message even though I know it actually means the comment has been deleted.

Yeah, I've seen that one, the site's message has it backwards

On the other side of things I left a comment this morning that was visible right away.

You're probably on the whitelist, but most commenters aren't so lucky.

Yes, I've seen this a lot recently. I've also noticed a greater number of times when changing between oldest and newest first changes how recent of comments show.

Well, my own comment appeared within 12 hours, but I can't see the other comments on the story, not even the ones I saw there earlier...

Edit: However, there are no comments under the story, not even my own, which can be seen in My Comments.
