Blogger however failed to warn folks and failed to have a way to roll back the change, short of changing the way we deal with comments (like having a separate page to comment on, a la Althouse). The change broke a couple features we have, like the numbering of the comments, and the nifty (iidssms) emoticon menu. Emoticons still work if you know the codes.
As of right now I know of one person (DWT) who is unable to view comments at all. If you find yourself in this boat, please email me and let me know what browser you are using, and if you can view the comments on Blogger's own blog (the first link I posted above). That should tell me whether it's specific to our template, or a general blogger problem.
Also, please consider downloading Google Chrome. It's awesome, as software goes these days.
Long term, I think this is a positive sign - Blogger is being maintained and its features are keeping up. I suggest in the medium term we look at updating to one of their new model templates, which are likely to be better supported.
I'm going to be unavailable for some time during the day today - I'll try to check back in Thursday evening.
thankyouveddymuch.
