New option in notifications

There was an update made to the email notifications feature today. It may catch some people by surprise, so I’d like to explain it here.

By default, you will now be notified (and sent) comments that are either unapproved or flagged as spam. Don’t worry — these comments are not displayed on your blog or forum (and the spam did not get through). You can choose to approve or delete these comments by replying to the email notification with Approve or Delete. Simply replying to the comment will also approve it.

This note will appear at the top of notifications for unapproved/spam comments

The below is just an image. You can stop clicking on it.

  • Thank you very much for this article and information.
  • I love disqus. They help bloggers like me a lot.

    This is happening to me as well. Even if I do a reply with nothing appended (except for the quoted original message which is standard on every e-mail), my reply gets added as a new comment.
  • Oops, I see. You should not be using quotation marks in the reply. However, we will also update our code to accept this.

    An odd thing I've noticed about this feature is that if I reply to a comment with an "Approve", my "Approve" reply also gets posted as a comment on the thread. Is something configured wrong?

    That's not supposed to happen. I looked through your comments, but I can't find any examples of this happening. Is there one you could point me to? That would help us track down the problem.

    It's happened a couple of times on this thread - http://www.abqjournal.com/sports/live/misc-tidb...

    I've gone in and removed them both times. They are still in the removed section.

    In these cases, I responded with the word Approve in quotation marks. Replying with just the word Approve had no effect (didn't approve the original comment and didn't post my reply.)

    I can also go through the process on another thread and leave it up, if you'd like.

    So I am forced to use the web interface only.

    Check BangaloreAviation for the removed comments and you will see.

  • That's not supposed to happen. We'll look into it.
