Comments Section Not Loading

MikeOxmall

Anybody else having issues with the comments section underneath a scene not loading? I just have an orange spinning wheel of death. Using Edge Chromium on my desktop over a fibre service, also experiencing the same thing in Safari on my iPhone using cellular data. Have also tried Opera on my desktop with the same result.
Happens whether I'm logged in or not, even in incognito mode. Started happening a few days ago and it's clearly not affecting everybody as I can see the number of comments under each video.

It has happened to me with Firefox on a PC. It says something like "43 comments" and I only see the first 6 o 7. Only on some videos.

Is it for all scene or just some specific one?

Philip For my current issue where I cannot load comments at all, it's all scenes. However I have seen the issue Natch mentioned, it appears to be older videos from other studios. I vaguely recall that one being discussed in the past and it was related to pulling comments for older videos from Reddit.

Try to delete cookies this usually does fix this kind of problems.

If you want you could also try a private window, which is basically a temporary fresh installed browser, if they load fine in that then there is something stored in your browser that messes up the loading.

MikeOxmall Did you happen to try ibins's suggestion of deleting cookies? Very generally speaking it tends to solve many problems related to webpages not displaying properly.

I had this a few days ago. Fixed itself after a couple of days.

justsomedude101 I have. My browser is also setup to clear history and cookies on exit. InPrivate (incognito) mode which is essentially a fresh start each time with no cookies or history also has the issue.

Not sure if this is a red herring or not but the developer tools in my browser I can see the response to request for /s/js/comments.min.gz.js?v=63154b94 is empty at only 82 bytes. I'm guessing this is the JavaScript used to display the comments, if so could explain it.

If I access that file using browserling.com it is 38.4 kilobytes and I can see the JavaScript source. Perhaps the CDN has a corrupt version of this file in certain geographic locations?

justsomedude101 I've done some more testing and it does appear to be a CDN issue.

front.sexlikereal.com resolves to 139.99.149.149 and 139.99.174.10 in my region, if I create a static host entry pointing it to 51.222.249.184 which is an address in the US then /s/js/comments.min.gz.js?v=63154b94 is 38.4 kilobytes and the comments section is visible.

Removing the host entry and relying on public DNS causes it to fail again. Results can also be confirmed using geopeeker.com
