Query re Comments Feed

After some investigations this morning (yup, sad git with an itchier leg after yesterday's trip), I posted the following to the Blogger Help Group forum.

Hi folks,

Anyone else been having trouble with Comments these last few days? Maybe it is just me.

The sidebar comments gadget doesn't show all comments. I've tracked this down to the RSS feed for comments. So, changed the "Blog Comment Feed" from Full to Short as that seems to be the only control I have over it.

I then changed to the Blogger-in-Draft site feed gadget, punched in the RSS feed, and got same comments as before, so I'm sure it is the RSS feed that is "quirky", and not the widget/gadget.

There are other comment systems available (eg Disqus), but I'd rather have Blogger working properly for me.

I did find last year's notification from Blogger, at:
http://knownissues.blogspot.com/2007/02/comment-feeds-are-not-updating.html
But that was then. It hints at the number of comments being a problem. Any clues, folks?

The email notification for new comments seemed to have died, but I changed forwarding address away from Yahoo, and that worked. So I changed it back to yahoo, and that worked too. Must have been one of these temporary glitches.

The sharp-eyed amongst you will have noticed that the comment feed in the sidebar is now at "version 2". Coming in from Blogger-in-Draft, this feed gives me the same options as the original comments feed, and the same results. So I reckon that it is the RSS feed that is the problem. Hence posting to the forum.

At least I'm giving Alan something to read in the evening.
