Comments not working

Comments aren't showing up on articles on the site, even for ones I know got comments (like videos from last week). Forum comments aren't working either- the log seems to be fine (I see X user posted 1 minutes ago or whatever) but I can't actually see those comments. Not even sure this is going to go through.

Our AWS backend went down around 9:30. Working with Amazon support right now.
