"My Comments" page busted? I get a database error trying to view "My Comments" page from the blue, the green, or the... grey? Brown? [error screencap inside]

Actually, I'll just link to the image rather than inline it.

Me too. I think it's because I posted to the "should I tattle on my boyfriend?" thread. And the mushroom thread.

Works fine for me. Because I'm special. Very very special.

I, too, commented in the "tattle on my boyfriend" thread - in fact, the reason I was trying to GO to My Comments was to follow up on that thread.

Same error for me. I also commented in that AskMe thread.

Seems to be coming and going for various users.

I know what it is, to save some resources, it only grabs the first 8k characters from comments to display on the page, so if someone posts a ginormous comment then it'll trip up the query. I'll fix it today.
