Bear With Me, I’m Testing a New Comment System

by Frank Roche on August 13, 2008

I think this new comment system will be cool, but right now I’m kinda worried that some comments look lost, the comment system seems upside-down, etc. Leave me a comment if you can on the Disqus system…let’s see if I can get this thing to work.

blackmailismylife August 13, 2008 at 4:43 pm: Looks great so far.
blackmailismylife August 13, 2008 at 4:43 pm: That’s actually a great example of Disqus failing. I didn’t see your comment and just added another.
frankroche August 13, 2008 at 4:52 pm: This is exactly what I’m afraid of. And guess what? It compromised my old comments, so now I’m super nervous. Ugh…let’s see…it ate some, and now it won’t reconfigure. Yikes. I will uninstall it by tomorrow if it doesn’t reconcile.
Sarcasmom August 13, 2008 at 5:37 pm: So how does this look?
frankroche August 13, 2008 at 7:07 pm: That works…but I’m still bothered because the comment box is at the top. I told it to move…it’s misbehaving.

So far it's pretty cool, though I did find that I had to restart the import process several times to get all the comments in. Don't know if that's a Disqus or a WordPress issue.

Whatever the case, this was a really cool idea. Thanks for plugging it, Frank1

howard August 23, 2008 at 7:09 pm: And I forgot to mention that I love the ability to rate comments up or down. That's pretty much useless on my site, but in general, I like judging other people's commentary, so…
