When I try to edit one of my comments the editing text area always comes up as empty.
I can edit my Q&A answers just fine (also forum posts). Somehow only the comments seem to be affected by this.
This bug is observed both in FireFox and IE8. Is anybody else observing this?

I just had the same experience when trying to edit someone else's comment.

What about your own comments? Can you edit those?

Tried a couple, and no I can't. Same thing, empty edit box.

Ok thanks, so I can stop emptying the browser cache again and again.
Had a couple of reboots too in hope this would go away. 
Cheers!

Add a tab to the home page that shows the article competitions. In that tab page, show four buttons/links on the left side:
Current Month (use the actual name of the month instead of "Current Month")
Previous Month Winners (use the actual name of the month instead of "Previous Month")
Current Feature Competitions
Past Feature Winners
For Monthly Competitions:
Depending on which one is clicked, it will show the competition page for that month. The "previous month" page would show the categories and their winners. The "current month" page would show the current month's competition entries.
Once a competition is completed, and entries have been chosen for the next competition, the page for from the current month moves to "Previous month", and a new page is generated for "Current month" with the new entries.
The end result is that there are always two months of competition immediately available, which solves the issue we have at this very minute that shows no active competitions, and actually finding what happened in the past. Also, although we haven't had the December contest yet, there's no mention of it *anywhere*. The current contest page says there's no contest for January, yet the past contest listing stops at November.

Using FF:
When I go to "My Posts" in Q/A, the Questions tab reveals a mostly blank content area with the items that *should* be in that list posted all the way over to the right side of the screen. Further, the tags panel on the right side overlays the questions, hiding the area of the questions consumed by the panel, but showing the edges of the question div.
The "Answers" tab is correctly aligned horizontally, but vertically, it shows the list of answers top-aligned with the tabs, thus scrambling the text because you can see both the tab titles and the answer items.

Its Sunday? This is meant to be the last of your days off before you get back back to reality with a bang next week!
Oh wait, don't tell me, there is no such thing as a day off.........you just take the time off when you want it and can get it.
Happy New Year Chris....now back to it, next bug is waiting to be squashed.

Using FF:
When I went to edit an alternate tip/trick, all of the page content was crunched all the way over to the right side of the screen. It was still editable, but on my 1680x1050 screen, it was only like 600 pixels wide.

Some people downvote helpful postings. They seem to expect fully debugged solutions, ready for deployment, to their problems - as in free money.
It would be nice if downvoting required an explanation – and a way to rate that too. Possibly disallowing “interested parties” from taking part in that rating procedure

Sadly there's a large contingent that seem to think that we are here to do their work for them.

Message down-voting is a fact of life here. Some of us have suggested a complete revamp of the voting system, but as you might imagine, any change in the system might be a bit of a problem as far as adjusting past voting records, and the possibility of completely hosing things as a result up is quite obvious.
Many times, people will 1-vote your answer if it doesn't fix their specific problem, or as you cited, if the solution you provide doesn't contain actual code. There's nothing you can do about it other than edit your answer to ask why they voted it a 1 and hope they are convinced to come back and change their vote, or that someone else comes along and up-votes your response in a move to counteract the 1-vote. In a bizarre twist, sometimes they mark your answer as *the* answer, and then proceed to vote it a 1. Where's the logic in that?
All you can do is accept it and move along.

I guess you are right, but requiring a "justification" for downvoting could provide us with some humorous reading material. It’s just a thought …

More likely, it will just contain crap like "asdssf"
