What's wrong with the comment view on that site? Several articles say there are N comments yet clicking on the N comments link almost always takes me to a page with <N comments. Often the page is blank except for the original post?

There is also a ton of wasted whitespace in the middle of the screen on those pages.

That's odd. Would you mind letting me know what browser/OS you are using? You can email me at brett (a-t) slinkset.com

Here's the info from the browser's about box:

  Version  9.51
  Build    4886
  Platform Mac OS X
  System   10.5.4
  Java     Java Runtime Environment installed

  Browser identification

  Opera/9.51 (Macintosh; PPC Mac OS X; U; en)

Here are some screenshots showing the issue:

After clicking on a link showing 2 comments - http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/justhackit/P2.png

Second page zoomed to 50% to show the whole page - http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/justhackit/P3.png

Awesome. Thank you.
