I've been disappointed by the random and incomplete response from Disqus on a few key FB Connect issues

1) Will FB connect work with Disqus if you've set your blog to only allow comments from Registered or Email Verified users?

2) Does Disqus integrate comments posted under a Disqus login and FB Connect login if they are from the same person? We have hundreds of commenters and THOUSANDS of comments people have invested in. I'd like to offer the FB connect convenience, but not at the cost of splitting our users' comments and identity.

3) do you have PLANS to offer these capabilities?

Both of these questions have been asked repeatedly on this thread at Disqus, and they have noticeably not been answered clearly.

I think Disqus is underestimating the risk blog owners are taking by deploying these new services and not offering clear, transparent answers to essential questions makes me question the commitment of the team to offering a stable, long term community solution. I don't have time to just install the app and see what works, but that's what I'm left with.

Even getting questions answered here is pretty random. There's this forum which offers NO SEARCH and there are comments on the blog posts announcing the new feature. A blog post is not the best way to communicate product features and installation guidelines, and a searchless forum is useless for those of us who don't have time to randomly scroll back in time, hoping someone has asked our question.

So, could someone from disqus please answer the three questions I've asked but also consider a better structure for communicating features, instructions and FAQs around your product.

I feel like you've been around long enough to have solved this, and the chaos involved in answering basic questions makes me nervous continuing with your product.

thanks, and all the best

So, did you get a reply to the above. I have the same questions.

Facebook updated their page settings and here are instructions to update it.

What about the option of posting the comments I make here, and the article back to Facebook?

Testing... It works!

Is this not available to sites using the generic code method of integration? My sites show only a "Please login to comment" bar, which clicks through to the Disqus.com login panel.

Looks like it's because you've chosen to only allowed registered (Disqus) commenters to post. We should have more granular control to allow FB within these confines as well.

Looks great, thanks for getting this. I've been dubious of the whole Facebook Connect thing but then found myself using it over at Lifehacker even though I had a comment account already going there.

I guess there's no way of linking up the Disqus profiles we have with the new Facebook ones--we'll be showing up differently, right?

do I have to logout to login with facebook? also there is no option on my blog at http://simonstudiotheatre.blogspot.com/

is there another blogger issue with disqus related to facebook connect?

When is this coming to those of us who only allow registered users to comment?

when I went to techcrunch it posted to my facebook feed. so something is working... but obviously Michael's application has somethings going that mine doesn't. I get the feeling that setting this up is going to be as hard as disqus was to begin with. {sigh}... and it has been so worth it so far... setting up disqus on blogger was a nightmare. setting up a facebook "application" just for one's own blog is going to be just as hard

I seem to have created multiple facebook applications out of frustration.... might that be the problem?

so how long before we can combine our disqus and facebook acocunts so that whether i comment in facebook or disqus all comments show under one profile?

What would be nicer is the ability to have both on one profile, but privacy options as to who can see which stream.

I notice you have in this thread comments under both your Disqus profile and your Facebook account. You've even added Facebook as a link in your Disqus profile. But when you comment under the Facebook account, it doesn't link up to the Disqus profile. Anyway to get these to link up?

I've added it to my blog, and the first comment, having selected to comment by FC went well. But now I'm logged in, I'm getting the below pop up when I try and comment again. Any idea why? Wants me to enter a name....screenshot below

Wow sO slick. Great job guys. Too bad the connect popup is like 20px too tall. Creates a small scrollbar. That must drive you guys nuts! The [f] in the corner of the thumbnail is a nice touch!

Very cool. A couple of issues/questions though:

1. Commenting with my facebook account doesn't add the comments to my disqus account. I have added my facebook account to my disqus profile so I would think it would be possible to link the two together.

2. Will you be posting items to my users' facebook news feeds to tell their friends that they commented on my blog? This would be killer.

This is great! I'm sure my users will enjoy this!

Yes to both questions. We wanted to get the bare minimum out first and work on improving it.

Thanks, this is really cool

I'm getting the same thing as well. Had to log out and log in again.

Yep. Me too. and my photo isn't showing up in the widget on the sidebar.

And I have to log in with each new comment.

Also, is there a way to integrate your old Disqus comments with the new Facebook Connect system?

And ... :) don't you love roll-out

Let me clarify... on my blog I have to log out and then log back in to add another comment. It just gave me the same error here. I use firefox on a mac machine. I checked my cookies and it says to keep them until they expire.

Dude, I really need to learn to get all my thoughts out at once. The error message says that http://disqus.com is asking for "Please enter a name to comment" even though I am logged in under facebook.

It does this every time I try to leave a second comment after logging in to Facebook. Another way to say it is... I have had to login to facebook connect three times to leave these three messages.

That's exactly what I'm getting buddy. I'm sure it'll get fixed soon, but it's a little frustrating for now!

Well, it's good to know I am not alone. Merry Christmas!

Me too, let me know when you find a solution.

Happening to me too. Very very obnoxious.

Has there been any solution to this?
