My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
Today I would like to ask for your feedback on Disqus because every so often I will have several of my readers mention that they had problems leaving a comment. Things like: their comment not showing after they hit the publish button, or their comment was visible to them after they hit the publish button, yet when they came back to read my response they noticed that their comment had disappeared. I’ve also heard that Disqus didn’t recognize their email address; therefore they couldn’t leave a comment.
Now I have to say that outside of experiencing an occasional technical glitch, such as the comment box not loading properly on my blog due to something going haywire over at Disqus, I have never had a problem leaving comments on a blog that uses Disqus. Never. Yet it seems that some people do. And this puzzles me because I find Disqus very easy to leave a comment.
Perhaps it’s because I have an account set up on Disqus and use it on my blog, that it might be easier than for those who don’t because all my information is remembered whenever I log in to leave a comment.
For anyone out there who uses Disqus on your blog, I’m sure you would agree that it's awesome, especially if you’re on Blogger because it has a TON more features than Bloggers’ native commenting system. And I also know many bloggers who are on WordPress, yet still choose to use Disqus on their blogs.
There is one thing though that I wish Disqus would bring back. And that was the feature that allowed those who don't have an account set up with them and wish to log in and comment as a guest, to include their blog URL link. I really don't like that they took that feature away.
Personally, I love using Disqus because it instantly notifies you with comment notification and allows for a more conversational engagement. It also has many other great features and benefits. Is it without issues? No, of course not. But no commenting system is without issues. However, one of the many positive things about Disqus is that whenever a technical issue occurs, they correct it promptly.
Anyway, please feel free to share your feedback on Disqus and let me know if you experience specific problems so that I’m aware of it. And for those of you who use Disqus on your own blog, do your readers ever say that they have problems leaving comments? Because I'm curious to know.
For those of you who have had difficulties in the past leaving comments on my blog, I sincerely apologize and know that it is a concern of mine.
Thank you for your feedback everyone.
Have a super weekend!
