This is going to add a whole bunch of neat little features.
- Comment with Twitter/facebook/pretty much whatever you want instead of Blogger.
- Sort by oldest/newest/whatever you prefer
- Threaded comments and replies
- Notifications
- A bunch of other random stuff
Right now the last ~4 hours is still migrating over. All old comments should already be updated!
There are a lot of small tweaks that can be done from the Disqus dashboard, and as needs arise I will probably swap things around a bit.
Anyway, give it a shot! This is way cooler than blogger's ghetto comment system ever was.
We tend to freak out pretty hard when change occurs here. Give disqus some time. It will have a few bugs, but overall the features far outweigh the learning curve. Blogger's comment system was very limited.
Note: NOSCRIPT USERS - You must enable Disqus. It is not built into blogger.
Note 2: You can change the account you log in with by logging out and picking one at the top!
Note 3: Added pages instead of that "show more comments thing" cause its annoying and slow.
Note 4: Apparently Mobile makes it look like I'm the only one commenting :x I'll email support about that
Note 5: Login is Required (Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, anything on the list)
Note 6: There seems to be a synch bug with the comment numbers on the main page. It updates in intervals. I've emailed support about that.

Fine by me
ReplyDeleteHoly holy holy holy Holy HOLY HOLY THIS IS AMAZING
ReplyDeleteYay, Seth FINALLY acknowledges the bad firsters.....
ReplyDeleteits too late for this post, Seth
ReplyDeleteThank god, I hated the comment system in Blogger, although disqus is a bit weird haha
ReplyDeleteLooks like mobile interface is still limited (on an iphone)
ReplyDeleteIf I want to test the new comment system, thenI'll have to use an actual computer to test the new system
Working fine for me!
ReplyDeletewait.....new accounts? O__O
ReplyDeleteSIGN ME UP
What browsers will be required to use the new system?
ReplyDeleteLET US TALK, SETH!!!
ReplyDeleteTo anyone reading my comments, you are not gonna get any changes with the mobile commenting system.
ReplyDeleteGiving a heads up to all those that comment from mobile platforms.
I can read all of the comments. O_O apparantly, you can't read mine....?
ReplyDeleteWow alot of comments
ReplyDelete*GASP* Seth is dusty the royal janitor?!
ReplyDeleteLol, this is hilarious
ReplyDeleteI see a bunch of Sethistos replying to each other on the mobile site. It's quite hilarious.
ReplyDeleteNew comments system you say?
ReplyDeleteBoss. I see a bunch of Sethistos rambling on to infinity.
ReplyDeleteI am okay with this.
I can see every one of your comments on EqD mobile, Seth
ReplyDeleteYeah, is it meant to be Sethisto & co.?
ReplyDeleteSort of amusing seeing Sethisto ramble on.
The mobile version on Android (using Opera Mobile at least) is still the same and I have to log in again, which is unusual.
ReplyDeleteSo I have to see you avatar 130 times before I can comment from now on eh, Seth?
So this is what you were doing, Seth, while Cereal was postin the YouTube streams earlier.
ReplyDeleteOn the mobile version, it's saying that EVERYONE is Sethisto o__e
ReplyDeleteYou like talking to yourself, don't you Seth?
ReplyDeleteMobile comments don't appear. So this probably won't either...
ReplyDelete...Too much Sethisto for one blog to handle... This is seriously freaking me out.
ReplyDeleteSo many Sethistos...
ReplyDeleteSo, we're able to post EqD comments via Tweets? I predict the #TwitterBronies will soon be growing, and making our presence more felt. :)
ReplyDeleteYou've hit the Devil's number; no going back now.
ReplyDeleteAlways found it weird that commenting past the first 200 takes you back to the first 200 comments (on mobile).
ReplyDeleteHeh it's like your changing the way we think! I like it,but my iPhone doesn't do that stuff....
ReplyDeleteHmm Twitter doesn't show as an option for mobile... oh well. Google still works.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm I like this posting system! But my computer is errrr.......broken so um you think you can do something for the mobile users?
ReplyDeletehow long did this take!?
ReplyDeleteWtf 700 sethisto comments ??
ReplyDeleteSo many SETHS
ReplyDeleteWall of Seths
ReplyDeleteThe problem with mobile is that it's still using the Blogger system, and all the Discus comments are being translated over as comments from Sethisto.
ReplyDeletethis thing doesn't accept hotmail
ReplyDeleteI liek ponies. :3
ReplyDeleteIm using Android, and the only difference is crapload of Sethisto. :/
ReplyDeleteThis is a test post.
ReplyDeleteHere's a test. New system = new profile.
ReplyDeleteI'm using mobile and testing.
ReplyDeleteHmmm seems the same so far...
The new comment system is alright.
ReplyDeleteExcept that every comment is made by sethisto!
I think that Disqus is a huge improvement! Woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteI am commenting on the new comments system. (Not just with it, but about it!)
I'm So Meta Even This Acronym ???
That's better!
ReplyDeleteYou can change your display name via "edit profile -> profile -> full name", which overrides your account name for posting.
ReplyDeleteUgh, and two MORE shitty things --
ReplyDelete1) I meant to comment on this before, but you can't get exact dates any more. What used to be "September 25, 2011 3:00 PM" is now just a stupid and vague "2 months ago". How could ANYONE possibly think this is better?
2) EVERY DAMN OLD AVATAR IS GONE. That's right, every single comment made before the new system is of Twilight.
Seriously, this system needs to die a bloody death.
We're moving forward. Comment-wise, at least.
ReplyDeleteTesting this again
ReplyDelete@ Melodia:
ReplyDelete"Seriously, this system needs to die a bloody death."
I disagree. This system needs to die a flaming death. Drop a tank of ClF_3 on it.
FINALLLY!!!! NO ACCOUNT NEEDED!!!! ANNONOMUS OPTION!!!!! WOOT!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi blogger!
ReplyDeleteAnd we're back! Wheee~!
ReplyDeleteThough I wonder what's with the seemingly random batch of comments.
This is not Seth. It's ismbof. I'm just messing with time. I haven't reloaded this page since the Disqus comment thing was still up. I still see all the Disqus features, hehehe.
ReplyDeleteI just needed to try this. Tried.
ReplyDeleteLet's see.
ReplyDeleteOh wait. I haven't payed any attention to the shenanigans today. I was wondering why there was no difference. Well, I hope the comments section will eventually become the best.
ReplyDelete*Dance virtually* Yay!
ReplyDelete...good 'ol reliable and simple system is back. :)
May it never leaves us again.
@Nova25
ReplyDeleteAlso... is it just me or does ALL comments made under 'disqus' were deleted ?
A post I made on a story, today, was removed...
Good thing I ALWAYS make copies before posting. Light paranoia saves the day once more !
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteNeat.
ReplyDeleteOooh! I like this new system!
