The comments function seems to be going kerflooey. It only creates a "blank" form and after you leave a new comment, it doesn't show up despite the number indicator changing. Haloscan problems maybe?

Now, it *could* be that we were getting a spam flood right then and comments got switched off at a bad moment. They get switched on again after a minute, so the best thing to do is wait for a little while and try again.
When we get spammed, we can get up to 200 comments and the same time, and that kills the server pretty thoroughly, so I've set up a system that catches that and shuts off commenting. It's not perfect, because the spammers can send as many as 30 comments a second just to munu, but it's a lot better than nothing.
