I made some changes to my comments lately (changed font formatting, comment margin/padding and moved the gravatar from the left to the right side), and noticed a strange side effect. Now the author's names are cut short, like there's a character limit imposed on them. I believe this is a new issue related to the changes I made, but I could be wrong. I just noticed it. </p> <p>You can see a few examples in the comments here: <a href="http://cookieandkate.com/2011/blueberry-lavender-lemonade/" rel="nofollow">http://cookieandkate.com/2011/blueberry-lavender-lemonade/</a> Several of the commenter's names end abruptly. </p> <p>Please let me know if you have any clues how to fix the issue!
