Uh-oh, I installed Disqus. Hope it all works out

October 1st, 2014 · 13 Comments

I paid $500 of my own good money, which I’ll have to raise elsewhere, to install this system which several people said would improve the commenting system. We’ll see how it all goes.

If really terrible, I’ll uninstall it.

My blog-maintenance minions assure me that all previous comments will re-appear, as they are only partway through. Good Lord, maybe we can all go back to writing postcards.

Thanks all for your patience with the unusual number of tech glitches and changes the past month.

    Postcards? What is the address? I must run out and buy a booklet of stamps (cheaper than buying single stamps these days).
    You have a set of plain postcards we should buy, or shall I use un-posted tourist postcards?

    What’s your paypal addres?

    I am testing my own site to make sure it’s working. Haven’t seen any comments for a while and am worried you’re all lost somewhere in limbo.

  • Jeff Leigh

    I posted for the same reason. Worked fine for me. I would expect a reduction in posts from those that don’t want to register with a third party.

  • francesbula

    I guess I didn’t have to register when I posted because I’m the moderator.

    There will be an adjustment period. [Edit: Thought you could post pictures, but I guess not] [Edit of the edit: Wait, yes you can!]

    Well, I’m old enough to find change unsettling. I’ll try to settle in so I can make a post or two.

    Testing testing 1 2 3…

    Thanks to those that made it out last night.

    For those that missed it, I heard two main topics:
    1. The election and the candidates.
    2. Vancouver’s future. Housing, investment condos, demographics, schools, you name it.

    We are all special snowflakes, but there were some notable names that those who couldn’t be there might have wanted to talk to (in order of appearance): Frances (the guest of honour), Mike Klassen, Pete Fry, and Andy Yan.

    I could only join one conversation at a time, so I missed out on other topics. We were there for almost five hours and the discussion was still going strong when we packed it in.

    Jeff, I forgot to ask if you had pictures of your cycling trip through Spain. You’ll have to bring some next time.

    Peep!

    Excellent evening. Not all fear-bsed, btw! Lots of interesting comments from people across the #vanpoli spectrum and ideas/solutions floated on how to deal with those pressing issues.

    Very creative stuff. Politicians should take note.

    Still hate disqus and the “linked” registration to external companies.

    And in Firefox 31.1.1 ESR version used by many installations All the comments are in tiny font, with no button or field for commentary, when we click on the word[link] Comments.
