This is old site on firefox for me

Keeps doing it, same with likes

I've noticed this happening too, where comments are being posted to articles and images, but don't show up on said article/image until ~15-30 minutes later. Seeing this happen in Vivaldi on PC and Firefox on mobile, both devices are old site. Definitely feels like a primarily back-end issue.

I've also noticed an odd trend where the comment layout seems to spontaneously break, turning into some esoteric amalgam of both the old and new comments sections. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to it, and you can get a result where one page of comments is the old style while another is the new style while on the same comments section.

Same here and it seems to be getting worse. Few days ago it took 5 minutes for my comment to appear, today it has been almost 2 hours and it's still not showing.

This is on desktop, latest MacOS version, latest Firefox version and switching layouts doesn't matter.

Oddly mobile seems to work fine.

I was about to create a forum post along the lines of this one myself. Firefox mobile is pretty messed up for me. I feel like the old site is now starting to be gutted in some way and will soon cease to function.

The day the old site stops working is the day I hop off board. I don't even see too many regulars around here anymore. After 9 years of being on this site, I guess it'll have been a long enough run. Didn't post as much as I've seen some others do on the site, but I'm glad I got to contribute it some small way to the site when it was nice.

Its like that even on the regular browser as well. not just mobile

it's happening to me too
this comment i liked this is still at zero, but apparently only when viewed from it's home entry for some reason
EDIT: not anymore. i guess there's some kind of weird glitchy timer

I've noticed my comments appearing late as well. And lately, I've also been seeing lots of articles or images that supposedly have at least 1 reply, only to not see the actual reply(s) for several minutes.

The (attempted) UI update to this site's making everything weird

Currently this entry has 9 comments, but when you scroll to the bottom only 2 appear from 4 hours ago (You can see all the comments if you add /comments to the url).
Just leaving this here if it helps someone with debugging

It seems to me that loading the comment section separately from the entry/image/whatever will properly register what's supposed to be shown.
Adding the following at the end of the url should do the trick:
/comments/page/1
That or just opening a single comment in a new tab.
