It's getting really frustrating, almost every post has missing comments. What causes this?

EDIT: I needed to select both "English" and "Undetermined" in my language settings

Most common cause is people changing their language settings in their profile. It's a daily occurrence. The app really needs to tell people "25 messages not displayed because you are only viewing in Spanish".

    It allows selecting multiple languages, but it's not clear and setting multiple is fiddly - most sites use multiple checkboxes instead for this reason. Anyway, if you select Undetermined, English and whatever else you're happy to see, you'll see a lot more comments (and posts, probably).

    Edit: to select multiple, hold control while clicking/spacebarring to add another.

    It should have two language settings - those you might post in (for the dropdown on making a comment/post) and for those you're happy to read (I'd just set it to all, since I can always translate anything that looks interesting).
