Our New Commenting System
Posted by kim on March 23rd, 2009
Hi guys, I was getting TOTALLY annoyed with the basic out of box wordpress comment functions. It has no functionality for decently threaded conversations (srsly, shouldn’t that be a given?) and only basic subscription capabilities. Soooo, now that there’s quite a few of you commenting around here I thought I’d investigate a better comment system, enter ‘Intense Debate!’ If anything, Intense Debate has a few too many features, but the things it can do are fantabulous :D
Right, so I don’t want you to be scared about it’s featurefulness, it’s not too complex… honest! You can comment as you did before, but this time you can choose to sign up for a Intense Debate account too (or use OpenID), which will give you a profile that appears alongside your comments. You can also choose to have follow up comments sent to you by email, which is a super handy feature and something I really wanted to implement! Another handy feature is the ability to rate other people’s comments, giving them a tumbs up or a thumbs down (srsly though, play nice).
The whole comment area looks totally different now, too. I really hope we can get a few threaded discussions going on :)
