Intense Debate + Comment Luv Down
For those that frequent Evolutionary Designs, knows that this site uses Intense Debate and Comment Luv as the comment system of choice. If you have been on the site in the last couple of days you may have noticed that I no longer have Comment Luv running. Do not worry, it will be back up soon. A post from Intense Debate Blog says that they have temporarily disabled Comment Luv plugin until the Comment Luv team has fix the issues causing a conflict with Intense Debate. They will notify us when the services comes back up. If the issue is not resolved by next week, I will remove Intense Debate until the issue is resolved.

I like to think of blogging like going out on a date or inviting someone into your home. First impressions mean everything to our human species. We make fast judgments on other people we see and come to conclusions of who they might be or what they will act like. These same first time impressions…

External Comment Systems May Not Be the Best Option for a Blog Owner
about 1 year ago - 40 comments
Until recently I was a big fan of aftermarket comment systems such as Disqus and Intense Debate. Both are great systems but they do have some reasons why you would want to think twice and do your research when selecting a comment system. Each system basically does the same thing but each one has special…
Site Updates – Issues with Intense Debate WordPress Comment System
about 1 year ago - 5 comments
Over the last few weeks Intense Debate commenting plugin for WordPress has been giving me headaches. For some reason, the comment system is scrambling the comments, not showing all comments, and putting weeks old comments with brand new comments. So if you see any posts that seem to have a lot of old ramdom posts,…

James recently posted..CommentLuv has Redesigned and Updated the Plugin
about 1 year ago
hi james! i noticed only this afternoon that all my comments are gone (i’m using the commentluv plugin via intensedebate.com). because i am not a techie, my first reaction was to scream! i thought i had done something to my blog. then i went to the intense debate site to try & contact them & get help. but i saw that the site was down. am i right in assuming that:
1) THAT is the reason why the comments on my site have disappeared?
2) once they’re up and running, will my comments be returned?
3) does this happen ALOT?
4) u said that you removed intense debate. so you’re using JUST commentluv?
5) i really love my intensedebate-enabled commentluv plugin. but what else can u suggest?

Hi Mama Mia,
We had to finally remove it from our site all togehter. Its just isn’t worth the hassle. Between not getting needed help from intense debate and the comment system adding comments to the wrong posts and several other issues, we removed it totally. We lost a lot of comments but since then everything has gotten better.
As for your blog, I took a look at it. Its a nice looking blog. Your on blogspot, so intense debate + comluv is the best option. Blogger comment system doesn’t support many comment plugins. Your only option is to invest in wordpress self hosted and use their default comment system (the best comment system) and add the comluv plugin.
If you have any questions let me know via the contact from. I can give you some basic advice if needed.

Thanks for this information. I was not aware of these things but it is really helping my growth curve.
I would like to know how you got your social icons on the left hand side of your blog if you can let me know.
I see you are using wibiya and if it is the free version take a look at meebo. seems more functional but I dont think you can change the color.
Thanks

Hi Bill,
Thanks for stopping by.
I haven’t really messed with the bars. I picked Wibiya at the time because it seemed to have the best options. I will look in to Meebo.
As for my social media icons on the left side, you can manually code them with CSS or you can use the Cute Profiles Plugin.

Intense debate is best and much better then commentluv plugin.
about 1 year ago
Hi there,
Actually CommentLuv works with Intense Debate works now. But intense debate was removed from this site when it started causing problems with the comment system and add comments to the right blog posts. With no help from commentluv, its not SEO friendly and your comments are stored on another site we decided it was not worth it. Since removing it, our comments of gone up, we have more traffic arriving from the search engines, and our site loads faster.

My comment system came with the theme. I have modified parts of theme but the one part I have been almost happy with is the comment system. Check out digital nature. I am sure you could download theme and make it work with your site. =)
