I am having a Huffington Post technical problem: Can you help me?

I joined Huffington Post in December 2009. I have to date made fifty-nine comments, according to my account stats today. I am surprised I have made that many comments actually. A few I suspect are typo corrections, because while I can spell, I cannot type. Describing my typing as horrible is an understatement. There is personal history that explains that…maybe I will write about it one day in some future blogum.

I had committed to writing this blogum monthly but this technical issue is both confusing me and intriguing me, so I will lay it out and hope someone more technical than me can offer an opinion. Anyone?

Summary of the Issue

Day One: March 18th

1. I posted four comments on March 18th on The Huffington Post: 3 on thread one and 1 on thread two

3 Comments on Thread One: AIPAC Lashes Out At Obama Administration Over Israel Statements

Comment 1: Posted Mar.18.2010 @13:49:41

Comment 2: Posted Mar.18.2010 @13:53:50

Comment 3: Posted Mar.18.2010 @14:18:05

1 Comment on Thread Two: Christiane Amanpour To Host 'This Week' on ABC

Comment 4: Posted Mar.18.2010 @18:55:41

2. I believe that all 4 comments originally appeared on their respective threads after posting, as I have the habit of checking before I move on.

Day Two: March 19th

3. There is now a problem with 2 of the 3 comments I posted on thread one. Comment One and Comment Two have disappeared from the thread. (they were posted consecutively in response to a comment from HPoster "icouce", Posted 04:06 AM on 3/18/2010). Comment Three is still there. Comment Four is still on thread two.

Comments One and Two are Not Where They Should Be On The Thread (area is blank):

Comment Three Is Where It Should Be On The Thread:

3. Here is where it gets weird, at least to me. While comments 1 and 2 disappeared from the thread, they ARE visible on my comment page and strangely, also on the thread when clicked FROM my comment page (left sides of the three images below)...so the person whose comments I responded to would think I had not responded to them if they looked for them ON the actual thread. If they looked for them on my Comment Page they would see them…but who would do that?

Comment One: When Clicked FROM My Comment Page VS. Looking At The Same Location On Actual THREAD. (there is a difference)

Comment Two: When Clicked FROM My Comment Page VS. Looking At The Same Location On Actual THREAD. (there is a difference)

Comment Three: When Clicked FROM my Comment Page VS. Looking At The Same Place on Actual THREAD. (no difference)

Day Three: March 20th

4. On March 20th, the issue changed. My missing comments are now visible on the actual THREAD (as opposed to on the thread when clicked FROM my comment page) WHEN I am logged in but NOT when I am logged out???

Which I think means one of two things:

a) either I am the only one who can see these two comments I made

OR

b) myself and anyone who is logged in to Huffington Post can see them, but the general public cannot.

Can any of you Huffington Posters see my missing comments FROM the AIPAC lashes out at Obama Administration Over Israel Statements thread, when you are logged in?

Are there any computer techies or Huffington Posters who can explain to me what the technical cause is of the issue I am having?

Thank you kindly, for any assistance.

Update: March 23, 2010

I checked for my missing posts on the AIPAC Lashes Out At Obama Administration Over Israel Statements thread just now and they have returned.

Comment 1: Posted Mar.18.2010 @13:49:41 Has Returned To The Public Thread

Comment 2: Posted Mar.18.2010 @13:53:50 Has Returned To The Public Thread

I had contacted Huffington Post regarding the issue, but there is no email from them today, so I do not know who to thank…so I posted a thanks on the thread.

Thank you kindly to whoever fixed this issue.
