DISQUS

Blog Design Studio: No more IntenseDebate for me too - even my patience level has gone!

    Use Disqus. Chris Brogan recently shifted his blog comments to Disqus and has had a good run so far. Disqus is used by many other well known bloggers too.

    Thanks Abhijeet! I've just installed it on your suggestion and I think I'll keep it as it seems to be offering some good features too. It is definitely faster than intensedebate, although slightly difficult to understand as well. Now that I'm getting used to it, I think I'll be fine and will be able to enjoy its offerings.

    I have tried IntenseDebate 3 times on my blog but was not able to even complete its installation--once left my system working for 2 consecutive days but it still did not complete.

    Agree that it has unique features but then what is the use--you can't use it on your blogs. I do not hate it but can't use it either.

    Even! I don't hate intensedebate, however because of all the problems that I started facing was more than enough for me to convince to remove this plugin and service from my blog. after suggestion of Abhijeet, I've now installed Disqus and so far, I'm liking it.

    This is just what has been happening to me.

    We recently released a new version of our plugin that has corrected this issue (v2.1.1). I would love it if you gave ID another try. Please feel free to drop me a line with any questions.

    Me thinks why use any external comment software like these. The stock wordpress is the best.

    I'm sorry to hear this. We're currently implementing some changes to our db's that are greatly improving performance. We hope to see you again in the future!
