For Those Of You Having Problems With The New Commenting Feature And Avatars
Some of you have had some difficulty with the new commenting feature. I’ve been trying to help as much as I can, but I admit that I’m learning as I go as well.
First, let me say that the avatars problem should be fixed. The next time each of you comments on the blog your SAB avatar should populate and you’ll be able to see them.
Aside from that, one major problem seems to be reconciling SAB commenting accounts with Disqus commenting accounts. If you are registered here on Say Anything you are automatically registered with Disqus. The problem is that you may not be able to set your avatar, etc. To fix that, do this:
1. Go to Disqus and register for a new account.
2. Once you are registered and logged in to Disqus, click this link and enter the email address you used when you registered on SAB. If you have multiple emails and can’t remember which one you used just claim them all. This will put all comments you’ve made with that email under your account.
3. Once you’ve got your comments claimed, you can change your avatar and other settings in your profile on Disqus. You can also link your commenting profile to Facebook and Twitter as well as manage your email subscription settings. Remember that you can now respond to comments here on the blog simply by replying to the emailed comment notifications (very handy on a Blackberry, I can tell you).
If you have any problems post them in the comments here and I’ll help as much as I can.
