AFTER CHANGES WE ARE MORE OR LESS THE SAME: I'm in the process of installing Disqus as our new comments system. Why Disqus, and not Blogger? Because I like "likes," and I think it's a better platform. If I'm wrong, I will be the Anti-Tom Petty of backing down.
All existing comments are being imported into the system, but it make take 24 hours.
Please let me know how this is working out for you, in the Comments, or if necessary shoot me an email.
update! To edit the name which is displayed with your comments, go to your Disqus account settings to Profile, and change your Full Name to the one under which you'd like to post.
second update: To see older comments during the transition, check our mobile site.
Testing.
ReplyDeleteSeems to be working.
ReplyDeleteSeems to be working?
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Seems to be working.
ReplyDeleteExcept for the fact that I'm me.
ReplyDeleteAnother test, having logged out.
ReplyDeleteTesting. Testing. ANd such.
ReplyDeleteCheck. Check. Check 1. Sibilance. Sibilance. Check. Check. Check 2. Sibilance. Sibilance
ReplyDeleteMinor thing--can we get the comments to display in chron order top to bottom (oldest started thread at top, rather than at bottom)?
ReplyDeleteMuahahahahahaha, I am at the top!!
ReplyDeleteYes, please, oldest comments first rather than last.
ReplyDeleteNo no no. The current system is awesome. (At least till someone posts above me.)
ReplyDeleteOn the "Discussion" tab above, you can set your view between Oldest, Newest, and Best first.
ReplyDeleteI use Disqus to comment at Tom & Lorenzo too. Like it there, will like it here too.
ReplyDeleteOh, woot! Looks like comments are editable!
ReplyDeleteHmm - anyone know if you can edit your display name if you're using Twitter to log in? It's weirding me out to see my full name instead of just my surname. Who's this Amy Watts person? What happened to Watts?
ReplyDeleteHah - it amuses me that it puts "parent" after all our names. "Offspring for you! And offspring for you! BABIES FOR EVERYBODY!"
ReplyDeleteNo more. :'-(
ReplyDeleteWhat are those things to the left of Reply/Share?
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Looks cool so far.
ReplyDeleteEquivalent of like/dislike,and if you set your viewing preference to best first, it'll sort accordingly.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to find this out as well.
ReplyDeleteGot it! Go to edit profile, and under the Profile tab, enter the name under which you'd like to post as "Full Name."
ReplyDeleteNo more commenting without having to provide at least an email address. Oh, well.
ReplyDeleteCheck. Check. The lazy brown dog jumped over the quick fox.
ReplyDeleteIf there seems to be spam from having done so, it's certainly something I'd consider in determining whether this platform is worth it.
ReplyDeleteI CAN SEE THE COMMENTS! OK we'll call off the Chad Kroeger & Avril Lavigne marriage. - signed, Canada
ReplyDeleteDid we lose all of our comments on the Pitch Perfect NYC screening post? Sadness.
ReplyDeleteThey'll be back once the Disqus transition is complete (though we'll apparently lose past threading).
ReplyDeleteFor now still available at mobile site, http://throwingthings.blogspot.com/?m=1
ReplyDeleteTesting . . . Me, mo, ma, muh, me ma, moo
ReplyDeleteCan I leave a message from my phone and can I skip creating a disqus account?
ReplyDeleteyes on the disqus, maybe on the phone
ReplyDeleteI LIKE THIS.
ReplyDeleteCan I tell you how nice it was to be able to see comments from my PHONE!
ReplyDeleteWorked for me.
ReplyDeleteTook me a bit of wrangling - and I had to create a Disqus account with an email attached - but finally figured it out. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteComment check.
ReplyDeleteTesting. I wasn't given an op
ReplyDeleteTesting! Oh, hey, look at that! It works!
ReplyDeleteWe'll see if the comment goes through from the iPad.
ReplyDeleteBut my issue is that I can't see comments on my work computer, apparently because it's still using IE8, and I can't do anything about that.
I think I might change my name to "Guest" to remind me of the olden days.
ReplyDeleteNew system works for me. Seems to have integrated nicely. Nice feature-set.
ReplyDeleteJust testing... and it looks like Disqus comments recognize both the ".com" and my default ".ca" url. I know the workaround was simple, but this is even easier.
ReplyDeleteSo very strange won't work in Chrome will work in IE9 and once I put in the NCR tag.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, good afternoon good evening. Didn't start to work for me until I switched over to Firefox. Weirdly testing in IE9 I got the old comments. Thank you for the migration.
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem, but I'm using IE9 at work. Looks like troubleshooting is on tomorrow's to-do list.
ReplyDeleteTesting 1 2 3.
ReplyDeletetesting
ReplyDeleteTen days into the new comment system and I'm finally able to see comments. (I'm not thrilled with Disqus.) I use IE8 at work and home, and couldn't see comments with either one, even after following the steps in the troubleshooting link. Sometimes I could see a link for comments, but when I clicked it, comments wouldn't show up. Sometimes there was no link at all. I tried to get in through Firefox, but the site wouldn't even load. Finally I downloaded Chrome, and that did it. But I would really, really prefer to get in through IE - the site looks better to me (the fonts are all weird in Chrome) and it's what I use in general.
