Comments not showing until page is refreshed

Heya peeps,

Came back to the land of the Sift after a break from the online world, good to see things are still going well here! The new site design has remained, and I see a few other changes have been introduced.

One thing bugging me is that comments don't show up in IE10 on Windows 7 (no add-ons enabled) until I hit the refresh button then they'll show up fine. If I enable compatibility mode in the browser the site is a jumbled mess, so compatibility mode is turned off.

Easy fix would be to install another browser I guess, though generally I just avoid sites that don't work properly in my choice of browser.

Is a fix in the pipeline?

Welcome back, @Reefie. This is not a known issue and not one I am able to replicate.

I'm using vanilla IE10 on Windows 7 without any add-ons, but whenever I load any post that has comments, they always show up for me.

Anyone else with IE10 having the problem Reefie described?

Heya @eric3579, thanks for getting Lucky's attention for me! Obviously been gone a little while if I've forgotten the basics

Thanks for taking the time to look into it @lucky760, appreciated After reading your post I thought I'd check the site on my phone, also running IE10 - same behaviour occurred, page loaded without comments, progress indicator stopped moving. Hit the refresh button and the page loaded with comments visible. Went to the site on my tablet that's just been updated to Windows 8.1 and has IE11 - on this device the page loaded fine including comments.

All 3 devices are connected through the same ISP, desktop is connected directly to the ethernet switch on the router, the 2 mobile devices are connected via wi-fi. I'm switching to another ISP next week, curious if that'll make any difference.

Thanks again for checking into the problem, that's why I like this place
