So this is the answer of something different I see in this blogs. Seems it has point system...What for is that? Anyway, I like this new system because I can see people historical comments by pointing my cursor on their picts. Nice improvement.

Liv, the points are just to give people credit for cool comments, or negative points for sucky comments :) It's all for fun really...

You can register if you want, there is a lot of fun stuff on your dashboard with Disqus.

Glad you like it...I'm totally loving it myself :)

Liv

I see...So, if now it shows that my points means somebody love my comments right ; ) ? ... I'll check the register step. Thanks for your info Mike...

reply

Shouldn't be too hard to register Liv...let me know what problems you are having and I'll try to see what I can do.

Looks like you get some odd wrapping behavior when the comments nest down too far.

reply

Mike Olbinski
7 months ago

Yeah, it really does look like that. Might have to limit the nesting levels. Thanks.

reply

Jason A Clark

Maybe when we redo the site design we could do two columns and have a wider article and commenting area? Just a thought.

reply

Mike Olbinski
7 months ago

Yeah, definitely could do something like that...although I do like three columns. We could always shrink things up a bit, create like 20 more pixels wide or something.

reply

Jason A Clark
7 months ago

Well, you and I can definitely talk about this some more since we already have some ideas for the new site design, but it might be nice if people wanted to chime in with their opinions.

Here's another comment. It really does just look like it's part of the site. Much better integration than I'd expected, based on how ID looked.

reply

Mike Olbinski
7 months ago

Yeah, ID was a bit more intrusive looking...this isn't too bad. And I love the threaded commenting style.

Also great that no one really has to mess with their avatars :)

reply

R.A. Porter

Are you going to swap out the 'Recent Comments' on the site with a Disqus widget?

reply

Mike Olbinski
7 months ago

Yeah, that's the next step...they have some nice widgets to use, and I think I'll set up an entire page dedicated to recent comments, which might be nice. I've always wanted a place to list like the last 50 comments, and Wordpress didn't make that easy to do AT ALL.

Looks like I will need to mess with my avatar - weird that it is not working.

reply

Jason A Clark

Dude, seriously. No one has ever had as much problems with avatars as you have.

reply

The Trousered Ape
7 months ago

Yeah - I'm trying to be as annoying as I can with this issue. :)

reply

Mike Olbinski
7 months ago

So did you sign up with Disqus and upload an avatar there to get it to work? or something else?

reply

The Trousered Ape
7 months ago

I signed up with Disqus, but I did not upload an avatar since I thought it was supposed to just grab the one I have at Gravatar. Is that not correct?

What is strange is that I see my Ape avatar in my profile within the Disqus site, but it's not showing up here...

reply

The Trousered Ape

Also - it does not appear to be counting these as posts in the comments section (running total).

reply

Mike Olbinski
7 months ago

Well, I see your avatar here, might take you a second.

Also, it's counting your comments, but it seems like it takes 10 minutes or so to update the Recent Comments widget, which you referred to.

I already posted a thread on their forums asking about this.

reply

The Trousered Ape

Interesting - apparently I have become part of the 10-second-fast-food
American crowd and did not even realize it. I'll try to be more patient. :)

reply

Mike Olbinski

Okay, I reduced nesting down to like 6 levels, to prevent the weird word wrapping thing.

By the way, I love the fact that we all have no lives and are here commenting within seconds of me posting the blog :)

Saturday night, 9:12...and I'm ready for bed :)

Here is the Comments page...kind of cool using their 3-tabbed widget...you can see top commenters, popular and recent.

Is it just me or did the whole page just reload when I posted a comment? I'm not sure that's supposed to happen.

reply

Mike Olbinski
7 months ago

It happens anytime I comment here, or on Disqus even.

reply

Jason A Clark
7 months ago

That's weird. I was thinking it was Ajax or something. Maybe I just didn't notice. It's a lot more obvious here, I guess because it takes longer to load the page.

reply

Jason A Clark
7 months ago

No, I did the last comment on the Disqus page for this article and it didn't reload the whole page.

reply

Mike Olbinski
7 months ago

Well that is weird...oh well, it's the same as the old way I guess :)

reply

Mike Olbinski
7 months ago

The only other weird issue is the way things are sorting...kind of confusing.

reply

Mike Olbinski
7 months ago

Sorting correctly now...strange.

reply

Mythor
7 months ago

There's a couple of options in the "Configure" section of the Disqus dashboard to control comment sorting - Oldest, Newest, "Hot" and Best.
I'm old fashioned so I'm using Oldest for my blogs, but I love that there's more options than that.

(Just a random passerby who is new to Disqus, too. :) )

reply

Mike Olbinski
7 months ago

Thanks Mythor...I'm using Oldest too, but sometimes it just doesn't sort that way.

Thanks for stopping by, don't be a stranger! :)

R.A. Porter

Okay, here's something I like less about Disqus.

Unless there's a way to change my notification options, I only get emails for replies to my comments, not all comments on a post. Anyone know how to make that happen?

reply

JC John SESE Cuneta (謝施洗)

Hmm actually I noticed that too. Let's request for that option ;)

reply

Mike Olbinski
7 months ago

Sorry I missed this Richard...did you check your notification settings? You only have one thing there for notifications to a comment you made?

I see others there, but I think it's because I'm a moderator of Pop Critics and A Mike Life.

reply

R.A. Porter
7 months ago

I think that's it. If you're a moderator you get the extra options. I only see:
Enable email notifications for comments...
- That are in response to me
- From "Coyote Squirrel's Random Musings" (coyotesqrl.disqus.com)

reply

Mike Olbinski

Well it might be a good idea to post that idea on the Requests forum...seems like a good one.

LOL - I was away for so long with work and travel that I just went through this tonight. Someone already signed up as BIM so I used another alias and then selected BIM as the name to appear next to my comments. Seems pretty cool to me.

How the heck could someone else choose BIM??? :)
