re: #339 CuriousLurker

I can confirm that it’s po.st being blocked somehow. Last week I was having issues with the FF update to v17 and had to trash my profile & reinstall all my addons, which caused me to lose all my previous NoScript settings. As I unblocked scripts one-by-one, I noticed that po.st being blocked caused comments to disappear.

The technical reason why this happens: if the po.st script doesn’t load, the LGF Javascript code that calls it will error out, and stop executing. When you’re logged in, comments are loaded through Javascript — that’s why the comments don’t load when po.st is blocked.

I’m going to try using a local copy of the po.st script, which should get around the problem. I set up a cron job to download the script from their server to LGF every night, so if they modify it we’ll be up to date.
