Moving comments to DISQUS

Hey guys, sorry about the mess right now!  I decided to move the commenting system over to something called  DISQUS because it allows for something called Single Sign On. Which basically means that if you are signed in to Facebook, or Twitter, for example(s), you will already be signed into HotForWords and can make comments here without having to sign in again.

Everything else should remain the same.  You will still get notified when people respond to your comments, but there should also be some new features that make this new system even better than what we had before.

Please be patient because it is taking me some time importing my 187,000+ comments into the new system.  None of your comments will disappear (even though they are not showing right now), in fact, if I ever want, I can revert back to the old system and not one comment (even the new ones) will be missing.

Once I get the system fully imported, I will show you the neat things we can do with DISQUS.  Until then, sorry about the delay in getting the thing fully functional!

In the meantime, here is a word game for you to keep you preoccupied!

    Converting to Disqus will drastically reduce your member population, because everyone will log in using facebook! Otherwise, in the default comments, people must register for your site to use the new comments.

    is your email supposed to be @ymail.com? Or was that a typo? if it is at ymail, then you should have gotten an email.. thought yahoo seems to block my emails sometimes.

    I’d rather have conversations rather than worry about the number of members. The convenience of commenting without having to create a new account will, I think, attract more people to the site to comment. I find that I comment more when I am already logged into other websites… that use DISQUS for example.

    I like it. But it didn’t bother me to login to different places instead of just one. I like the many options we have now. Just one question M. What is the collapse button for? I guess maybe to collapse the whole comment section. If someone is flagged can it be unflagged and does the comment disappear. Many question, so many answers. OMG no smileys. Can we just give some one the finger instead. LOL (JK). Damn the comments are fast.

    Maria is powerful robot who would make a better alien who could adapt, while any human male is left with a super zapper. Any thougt of fitting in with a human female after ‘the robot’ would be a real eye opener. We love her as she is/ though a robot could go on like the ever-ready bunny.

    If a comment is flagged NOTHING happens to the comment. I have to physically go in and look at the flagged comments and decided to hide it or delete it.. but that only happens if I decide to do it on each individual case. So don’t worry.. comments will not start disappearing!

    It takes awhile before posted comments pop up in the ‘Recent Comments’ box.LeoNard just made a post (somewhere?) . I got a message that the post was made, with a message asking me if I wanted to ‘show’ it. He figured out some code (HTML? BB Code?) that works to post links; but when I reloaded this page, it wasn’t here. :dammit: Something to do with the edit time slowing down adds to the recent post setup? :WDFK: So, now you get to watch me experiment – Woo Hoo!BB code:[url]http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101126/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obamaimghttp://www.silvamultimedia.com/myspace/animated_obama03.gif/imgTurkey Time![/url]HTML:What’s Next?I have to let the editor time out to see which one works…..(the editor doesn’t ever time out?!) :shock: OH!

    I’m just curious here but I’ve made a few comments using DISQUS and most of them posted right away here on HotForWords except one didn’t show up. But it’s on my profile on DISQUS and at the bottom of the comment it’s telling me that This comment is awaiting approval?

  • Me Lika Do The Cha Cha

    The ‘Timmy’ avatar is via Gravatar. Awhile back, something changed and killed the link to lesson posts, so the ‘Boris’ avatar is loaded from HFW dashboard. ‘Timmy’ shows up in the forums, as that link to Gravatar is still intact.

    Can you try to merge your 2 accounts by clicking on the Dashboard link that you find here: http://docs.disqus.com/help/40/

    You had to have verified both emails (Discus is reading your two (similar but capitalized differently) emails as different for some reason.)

    I think you have to go to disqus signed in as the timmy account and change the avatar yourself?

  • Me Lika Do The Cha Cha

    No joy. My access hinges on Disqus ability to recognize my email address (which it uses quite well, except for this purpose). No variation of caps/ non caps is recognized when I submit my email address for a new password. When I try to get to the dashboard, it throws me into a sign in box – it’s a (mobius) loop from which there is no escape. The sign in has another alternative for an ‘open id’ ( I have no idea what that is about).
    Since I have an account here, and, presumably, one at Disqus; I am guessing this is how it sees me as having two accounts. Still, it should recognize my email address in either case. Es ist alle gans tworped! (run that through your translator – heh heh!)

  • гравитации мальчик

    Maybe you can change chacha’s email in your data base?
    He would have to send you another email he has that is not similar.

  • Me Lika Do The Cha Cha

    This is far too much detailing to get into, but here goes:
    The sign in box:
    http://i52.tinypic.com/2hzkfa9.jpg
    I’ve offered every known variant I have ever used as follows:

    I NEVER, EVER allow 3rd party cookies (that’s like locking the front door and leaving the back door open, with a light on; and an open invitation for thieves to enter and kill you in your sleep!) Besides, when I did allow 3rd party cookies (briefly, to test) – no difference at all whatsoever. The alternative is this:

    Exceptions – Cookies: Allow Disqus
    http://i55.tinypic.com/96f9rc.png
    (note this is a major exception!)

    Timmy is just my current Gravatar
    http://i56.tinypic.com/5ydlj7.png
    and is linked to my email just fine.

    The bug remains with Disqus’ inability
    to recognize my email address.
    Phew! Am I done, yet? Poke me with a fork and see…..

    Not logged in, can’t sign in to log out or go to dashboard.It’s a mobius loop. I’m inside (and receiving notifations to my email) AND I’m outside and cannot log in (because Disqus refuses to acknowledge my email address!)Oy Gewalt!

    I just emailed support to tell them to merge your accounts.. I also did a forgot password and typed the email address in exactly how you had it ALL CAPS before the @ sign and lowercase after the @ sign. Maybe you’ll get a password reset and can log in?

  • Me Lika Do The Cha Cha

    I think you may have done it!
    I’ve no idea why Timmy is there as my avatar, or if this simply created (another) account, but, I’m in! It does link to comments made over the past 24 hours. Let me poke around and see where this is at. more later…
    Thank you, mucho!

    hmmm… I don’t know that one either so I looked it up…
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracket

    “Parentheses may also be nested (with one set (such as this) inside another set). This is not commonly used in formal writing (though sometimes other brackets [especially brackets] will be used for one or more inner set of parentheses [in other words, secondary {or even tertiary} phrases can be found within the main sentence]).”

    A good rule of thumb for you is…

    Big cities are like rich courtesans. No matter how beautiful, full of culture, friendly, warm and charming they are, there is a stench about them, some dirty infamia they can’t wash away, no matter how much soap or perfume they use. And the clear blue water they swallow becomes as yellow as piss or as brownish grey as the Danube once it makes its way across them.

    Well what can I say, I hope everything works out with DISCUS! I have found some glitch’s I’m not sure if they have anything to do with you changing things or not. In the private message section, the walls are to thin, almost all the pictures the pictures get cut way off, the only ones that do show up whole are the very very small pictures. Also to do with the posting on private posts / replies. For some reason some of the latest reply link willn’t work right, for me an empty space, which it can’t be clicked or any typing, all that is present, is a reply button and nothing more! Ok these are some of the things that been happening to me anyhow. Goodbye for now! Peace!

    It would be really easy to get the smilies back.
    Especially for wordpress users. The smilies are still in a folder on the hotforwords site all that needs to be done is write a regex that replaces (for instance) the text code… :mrgreen: with the image tag and address like this…

    it is really easy for wordpress because they are all in the same folder address and you don’t need the site address, so it can be a written once and used by everyone

    Neo!
    You may be able to resize the page view using a hotkey combination.
    Try pressing the control key and the minus key, simultaneously (CTRL -).
    This is a common browser hotkey to resize your view at a lower scale.
    CTRL + will zoom the view bigger. I don’t know for sure if Chrome uses
    that combination, but there has to be something like that available to use.
    Hope it works.

  • Me Lika Do The Cha Cha

    I feel your pain (no, I really do!)
    More than a few of us are experiencing
    varying levels of difficulty, having multiple
    sites piped through Disqus.

    Tonight, it’s given me errors when trying to
    make reply posts after going into Facebook.

    I don’t know the problem, but the work-around
    I had to do was to log out and log back in here.

    Oh yeah, one thing that still works good…
    When you make a word request, enclose it
    in brackets. eg. {Islamophobia}
    Marina uses a script to seek out requests for
    her list that searches for bracket sets.
