I cannot find any comments that I made more than 7 days ago.
I went to my tab, comments. There is nothing older that 7 days. It has all disappeared.

The same is true for voted.
You scared me, so I went off and looked at my own stuff. It's just you. I hate errors that don't make sense, and this one doesn't make sense.
In addition, it's just your tab. The comments are still there. Here's an example:
I used @catbertthegreat's search, and your name, and came up with plenty of hits.

It's me, too. I'm sure it'll work itself out, though.
@chris12345: I sent you another pm, a few minutes ago.
I'm still okay, I still display all the entries I commented or voted on.
@chris12345: Your right it will probably sort it self out or woot staff will see it come monday.
Staff said yesterday that they are doing some work and things are still in the database, but might look like they have disappeared.
@hobbit: Really. Where did they say this?
I'm glad you pointed this out, since I'd forgotten in the rush of other things that this had happened to people, and was looking for something I'd said two months ago. I guess the bubble took a while to get to me, is all. It's disconcerting, and I've already seen it happen to others. I'll be glad when it's done.
@shrdlu: here: http://deals.woot.com/questions/details/43c95dce-8d8f-4680-a819-574206d93586/bug-cant-respond-to-a-question#7 They are reindexing user tabs.
@hobbit: So, nice to show that I have a two second memory. Dang it.
Thanks, and thanks for not making fun of me, either.
I will wish for warm weather for you.
@hobbit: Thanks. That is the same issue that I questioned. It took me quite a while to make sure that it was not my system acting up. I had a temporary modem failure about 12 hours earlier. My question was deleted.
@shrdlu: Thanks spring will be arriving next week. I do live in the South. Snow sucks. I am going to have to turn on the 4 wheel drive today just so can get out of the driveway this morning though, they actually plowed my street, I was shocked, but I do live on a major residential collector.
@bsalusa: Oh right the one about not being able to post, it was deleted as it was a duplicate of mine, I think they felt one thread was enough.
I think that this is a seperate issue from the one that @hobbit had pointed out. This question will have disappeared by the time that Staff shows up on Monday, so I'm probably going to go post it on Twitter. I think that the indexing that @hobbit was speaking of CAUSED the inability to see comment history beyond seven or eight days back, since it caught up with me yesterday, and is still not fixed on @bsalusa's usertab.
I'll probably wait until tomorrow morning to make that post, but I'd sure be happier if there was some comment from staff that they see the problem, or that it's being worked.
It's being worked on. User tabs should be back to normal early next week.
This has been a somewhat frustrating weekend. I hope that they get this fixed sooner rather than later. I hope that this does not become an "oops, sorry about that" result.
@shrdlu I hope that the jar openers are just what you want. I have many different ones, including the Black & Decker, which I got @ Walmart on closeout. Apparently, there was not enough demand to meet their sales requirements.
