I just tried to post something about comments not going through for myself, and the post saved but doesn’t appear anywhere…

The comment problems I’ve been having have been the same.

I tried to change themes, thinking maybe there’s an error in the theme, and then I get all kinds of MySQL errors.

I just checked the MySQL tables in the database and they all check fine. I also optimized them, just in case.
