Bug report: occasionally comments lie that they got posted
I just saw experienced it on this thread: http://namethatpornstar.com/thread.php?id=1393818
I made three comments. They all appeared in the comment list.
However, when I reloaded the page, the second comment disappeared and I had to recreate it. This doesn't seem to be related to the time it took for me to find information, since I posted three comments in quick succession and the first and third posted successfully, while the second one didn't
I've noticed this before as well: when I look at a thread I had answered before, some of the comments may be missing.
This seems to occur to the follow button as well. Occasionally I look at a thread that I swore I had followed before, but see that the follow button isn't highlighted, so it's not actually followed.
It would be nice if, from the point of view of the user, written comments didn't occasionally randomly disappear

Twice that I know of I have posted comments that later, not immediately, disappeared. One of those was actually confirmed by the poster as a correct answer, and then that same post showed up later as unanswered.

The comment count on the thread in question is 3. So the second comment didn't truly get posted

A solution to this would be to reload each answered question to double check that the comment got posted, but this takes too long, since the site isn't very responsive, especially during peak hours anyway
