Why is this getting modded up? Can someone explain to me which “stupid thing” could have been overlooked, and which would result in me reporting that IE7 rendered comments correctly yesterday but not today, and which is rectified by me being told to stop using IE7? That’s a completely different approach from “let’s check everything that could go wrong, even those involving stupid errors”, and so is not justified by Vladimir’s lecture about ugh fields and overconfidence.
“don’t form an ugh field around the hypothesis that something stupid was overlooked”
That’s why I upvoted. I can’t speak for others, but my prior for p(site issue) is pretty low. You do not seem to have exhausted the possibility that something was changed on your end without your knowledge.
