UPDATE: Well, the results are in. And Disqus is out.
ORIGINAL POST: It’s been two weeks since I’ve adopted Disqus.
I like a lot of the features, but some of the bugs—particular with mobile devices—irk me. And I imagine they irk you.
Anyway, I’m going to put the question to you, the readers. This poll will end at 8:50am tomorrow (Tuesday), Korea time:
{ 23 comments… read them below or add one }
Now that you’ve had discus going a bit, I kind of like it. Discus is probably aware of the mobile issues, and will fix things, no?
I made a mistake. I submitted ‘No’ when I really wanted to submit ‘Yes”. My bad.
Bias disclosure: I don’t use mobile devices that much for blog surfing. So, so far as desktop ‘puters go, Disqus works fine.
Posting on mobiles does suck with it. Can’t imagine why they haven’t resolved such an issue already.
I like it. KEEP~
Does it really matter? You will just be screwing around with it again in a couple of months, anyway.
Robert,
I don’t surf on a mobile (desktop PC only) and while others who do may find Disqus a plus, I don’t like it for the simple reason that each comment cannot be uniquely distinguished, i.e. a number to a comment. But the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
Slightly off the topic: I find the twitter updates and floating pallates irksome and useless, on desktop or mobile.
gbevers,
Does it matter to you? It’s not your blog.
May I suggest that a) you consider IntenseDebate commenting system, and b) you stay far, far away from JSKit commenting.
Noooo.

I’ve said it before: There are three sure things in this world: Death, taxes and Marmot fiddling with his website.
Would be cool to get the numbers back, though.
How do I get rid of the ridiculous “social media” sidebar? It absolutely annoys the hell out of me seeing a useless menu bar filled with shitty web 2.0 icons. It’s akin to those downloadable “tool” (advertising) bars.
wow…so smoooooth. welcome back, not-disqus!

Really? Still? What’s wrong with it exactly?
Can’t get out of mobile to desktop mode. No comment bar, even at the end of entries, in mobile mode; random return to an older post in desktop mode when hitting “home” – basically all the same issues – notwithstanding a cache flush. It’s basically inoperable
Keyinjpop (#2), that’s the trouble with these butterfly ballots — they’re so confusing!

There’s something to be said for simplicity. Comments one after another in numbered sequence. There’s something, I don’t know, inclusive about it. Disqus was like being in a room full of people talking past each other, holding their own conversations. This way I feel like everyone gets their turn to speak, and if you don’t like what’s said you simply ignore it.
yeyyy
I second the earlier person that mentioned intense debate. It is a great platform and it crosses over fairly efficiently on mobiles. Have a look at my site in mobile and some of the comments that were made. It’s not perfect, but it works pretty well.
they haven’t resolved such an issue already.
