New Comment System + Other Features
As most of you have no doubt noticed, a new comment system has been implemented. We are now using the DISQUS commenting system, which will add the following features: I hope that you will all enjoy the new system! As of this writing, the comment import is about 80% done. If you find some posts where comments aren’t displaying yet, do not be alarmed. We’ve got about 6 years worth of comments that are being imported into the new system, and it can take up to a day on average, more if we run into any weird errors. Two other new functions have been added over the past month (these aren’t related to the new comment system, but I realised that I haven’t yet made a post introducing them): Lastly, in regards to the Disqus system, we have a few decisions to make. Please click the ‘read more’ link to view the rest of this post. First, we need to choose between a light or dark color scheme for the comments section. Unfortunately, as it stands now I am not able to make any customisation – this is a either-or decision. Here is the dark color scheme – it’s what we have in effect now: This is the light option: I personally favor the dark color scheme as, to my eye, links are nearly invisible in the ‘light’ version, but given that people were already complaining about the dark scheme being painful on the eyes, I wanted to give you all the choice. Unfortunately, as I said before, these two options are quite honestly the only two options presently available. If you’d like to see more, you’ll need to message Disqus themselves and ask them to either create more palettes to choose from or implement a way to let site admins edit the color schemes. The next option that we have involves the order in which comments are displayed. We have three choices: Please weigh in with your preferences in the comments section of this post – I’ll give you all a few days to voice your opinions and then go with whichever options are the most supported via comments and upvotes. Thanks for your time, and have fun with the new comment system!
