New Comment System @ Mobilitysite!

I always try to keep up with times in regards to my websites. Many of you are well aware of that, but some of the newer readers around here might not remember how much I put into all this. The main reason for that is that I have gotten busy and/or lazy the last year or so. Well, I binge and purge and these last couple days, I have been binging…

The main things that I have done are all social. I got back involved with Twitter myself, on a personal level. I changed up the look of my personal blog and now I am here to spruce up my main site, Mobilitysite! I started with a little project I have been considering for a while. I decided to install Disqus on my personal blog to handle comments as a test and it’s doing fine, so I imported all 10k comments from our database into Disqus and it’s in place here.

comments

What’s so special about it? Well, it offers some features that that the default Wordpress install does not. Threaded comments, better security, but most importantly, it allows you to bridge one account across any blog using the same system. I have it installed on my personal blog, Judie has it installed over at Gear Diary, and there are 1000’s of other sites using it too. Play around with it and you’ll see why I like it.

Other than the comments, I just cleaned up a bit, but I have more in store in the next couple weeks!

    Whew, this is nice. Now I can track between Gear Diary and other sites without having to (re)memorize different logins. ;-)

  • Chris Leckness

    Nope. I don't think so at least. I can query those guys and see if it would be possible at some point though.

  • Chris Leckness

    I have also set up some buttons for tweeting posts from here.

    Testing this awesome new comment feature. I like how Disqus links accounts with OpenID so I can sign up with my E-Mail account. Very nice, Chris!

    Another contributing factor is people who bank online are satisfied with the number of ways they can bank whether it is at their local providian.com branch or on the phone. However, the report also found that phone banking usage is down from 26 per cent in 2001 to 20 per cent in 2004, mostly due to the boom in online banking, said Grunier.

    This isn’t teenage sparkly silver we’re talking about – this look is a matte, true grey that doesn’t quite have the depressed emo vibe of black nail polish, disney acting auditions nor the twee Disney feel of pink shades.

    I like the function of the new comment system, but it leaves something to be desired when it comes to editing or deleting comments.

    I can't figure out how to delete spam like that posted by moronlooney there. Deleting it seems to delete it from WordPress, but apparently not from Disqus. Reporting the comment also seems to have no effect.

    What do we do to eliminate spam like this?

  • Chris Leckness

    Reporting it sends it to a queue but I don't get a notification. I have to start looking at that queue more often.

  • http://www.svpocketpc.com Pony99CA

    Is there any way for your other helpers to clear the queue? I'd be happy to do that, but if only one person can be the Disqus admin, that's probably out of the question. That way we could get rid of spam — like the one above/below. :D

    That's an interesting spam technique — posting E-mail addresses including your own.

    Let's the spammer know what you think.

    P.S. Can we lock this thread? It seems to attract more than it's share of spammers.

    With the new theme, flagging doesn't seem to work. When you confirm that you want to flag a post, the dialog doesn't go away. Closing the dialog doesn't show the comment as having been flagged.

    Did the posts that I flagged recently (including today) get into the queue?

    Steve

  • Chris Leckness

    Yes, they did.
