Welcome to Disqus commenting!

Mike June 7th, 2008 Pop Critics News

Okay, this is the official post with the new commenting system from Disqus enabled. We told you guys that we were going to test Disqus out this coming week, and it’s time to get the trial run started!

If you want to know more about it, read our post and go sign-up if you want, but otherwise go comment a few times below and tell us what you think!

Just a note: Older posts will still use the older commenting system, so we apologize for that. If we decide to stick with Disqus, we’ll switch it on for all of them.

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.

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 :)

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

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.

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

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

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

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...

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

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.

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. :)

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.

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

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.
