New features are on the horizon

Hey Gang,

There are some new features that we are rolling out over the next couple of weeks and here are a  few to get your feet wet.

  • Improved Spam Filters & Reporting
    The ability to mark spam and a more refined spam filtering system. I know we have had a couple days of spam and this will help solve it.
  • Internationalization
    For starters we will have German, Spanish, French, Russian, and Italian translations. Is there a language you’re fluent in not listed here? If you have a spare moment and would like to help translate. Feel free to shoot an email to help@disqus.com for more instructions.
  • New Plugins
    Movable type and Drupal plugins.
  • Updated Commenting Interface
    I will have more details on this update next week but I was really curious about what improvements you would suggest for our commenting interface? What would you change or remove? What is missing? I started a thread here to get the brain waves flowing.

Your opinion is very important to us and we look forward to hearing from you,

Giannii

Community Manager

  • It's difficult to follow up with the current comment system.The current commenting system is like once you commented and that's it. Follow up with replies are time-consuming as we are not sure if there is any replies to your comment and we have to click through every single comments one by one to check.

    Have the new features been officially launched? As I joined Disqus for not quite long and so I can't really tell if there are any differences. However, I am still anticipating for more on the commenting system.As far for what I saw, the commenting system looks the same, as in the outlook. Probably we could have some changes to it?
  • jonaw
    I have some ideas on the comment systems.Here is one of it. I suggest that the comment system right now could probably be displayed in a way like the e-mail system.We get to see trackbacks or replies or probably delete the comment if we felt it's redundant, all in a click.

  • Though online powerhouse Amazon.com pulled in extra cash this year, overall retail sales on electronics, women's clothing and jewelry plummeted more than 20 percent from last holiday season. Looks like people are still willing to pay for convenience in a shrinking economy. Not only does Amazon.com save consumers from having to drive to the store and fight the crowds, it sells everything! So it makes sense that it’s doing so well. You can find gifts for everyone from your infant nephew to your great-grandma at that site. Amazon seems to be the only retailer that saw gains this year, though. Overall internet spending fell 1 percent in the United States. Regular retail sales on luxury items, such as jewelry, fell a whopping 35 percent. If that’s not a sign of the times, I don’t know what is. Read this article to learn more about how retailers fared this holiday season and to check out your options if you’re in need of <a title="READ Retail Sales Fall as Amazon.com Pulls in Extra Cash" rev="vote-for" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2008/12/26/retail-sales-fall-as-amazoncom-pulls-in-extra-cash/">extra cash.
  • Disqus has done a great job as a third party commenting service provider. Addressing the spam issues has been promptly and we have seen great improvements. Keep it up.

  • Hi,

    Great to see Facebook Connect so quickly released, but what about the reporting that was mentioned here? Would love to get some analytics about trending topics (via rate of comments), overall trend of comment activity across sites, etc. Any ideas when this might be coming?

    Easy? How, then? I tried changing the domain name under "Settings" and it didn't work. New comments appeared on the new domain, but old comments didn't display.
  • C.T. Jones Imitator
    Easy!

    Also, why mess wiyh something that works?

    I must be hallucinating that some elitist deleted my earlier post...
  • Chris Crosby
    How can someone switch all of their archived comments from one domain name to another? All the same filenames and content, just on a different domain.

    That's intriguing and encouraging!
  • I second that. I wouldn't want to see people switch over on Wordpress. Your commenting system is just way too good. But all webmasters dream about is more and more traffic.
  • timu
    What about facebook connect ? SHould be top of the list :-)

  • I used to get attack by spam bots with similar IP addresses but things are getting better by the day. Keep up the good work.
  • Just something that stands out a little more. Perhaps some beta testing allowing different options could find something. People could report back on whether rating occurs more or less often with different icons (like thumbs)
  • I would love all of the them actually ;-) And even more. Do you know http://notifixio.us? It's actually pretty easy : if you've got an RSS feed for the users' comment, then, you've got a subscription system that supports all the one you mentionned and that has a cool API for anyon to build additional channels that can be used (iPhone App, Air Application... etc)

  • So essentially flagging of Disqus/anonymous users? Also when you say Full Admin functions, which would you like to see besides flagging of users?

  • I totally agree with you. What kind of rating icons would you like to see?
  • What kind of notifications would you prefer and which services? gtalk, aim, msn, or sms?
  • Will you remember and go over the suggestions posted in the Suggestions forum?

    I'm not really much for reiterating by finding the old threads I made with suggestions and critique. :)

  • Looking forward to the improved spam filtering. I have been getting my fair share, and my fingers are now well trained on writing the word "Delete" and hitting send.
