I did a table repair and the error is still not fixed..My blog actually went back over around 8600 comments and the error occurred again, where I could not access the comment page.
I did a table repair before this, it does not seem to have fixed the issue.
As for your other suggestion, where is this ‘screen options’ menu so that I can see how many comments I have listed per page?
