Do you comment here?

Hey guys - just a spot of housekeeping. I noticed a comment from Annika, over on Mandy's blog, saying she never receives an email notification of replies when she comments on a blog using disqus. I moved to disqus solely because I thought that it was more interactive and that commenters would all be notified when I reply to their comments. 

I reply to all comments, so if you've commented here in the past few weeks and never heard back from me, I'd love to know, so I've got an idea of whether this commenting system is working or not!

p.s. here's a kitten.

    I do leave comments. I have seen that you reply (I appreciate that, so I keep coming back). But, I did not get any email notification (I think because I must have not ticked a box by accident).

  2. I commented on your PhD one and although you replied, I didn't get a notification. Maybe it's because I use my twitter account to leave a comment? Who knows!

  3. For shame! Always the troublemaker, me! ;o) I sometimes check back, cause I know you reply, but often I forget. I usually use my Twitter, like Grace. Perhaps one has to sign up with Disqus to get a notification? I shall try.

    Update: Seeing the "Use this to preserve your comment history and be notified of replies." under the 'Pick a name' section confirms my notion. Could you do a test reply, please? Ta.

  7. I'm pretty sure I got an email when you replied to me last time, I do like Disqus for that.


    I tagged you in a post today :)

  8. Yeah, that was my main reason for installing Disqus, so I'm glad you get replies!


    Oooh... now I have to think of the answer to those questions!

  9. kitten indeed!! kittens are never a bad thing!
    on the plus side, your comments are now actually appearing on my blog - I see this as success!

  10. Yeah, this is really frustrating if you don't get replies... I didn't really want you to have to sign up to disqus for this to work.


    Either way, can you let me know if you get a notification of this reply? If not, I might need to give some thought to whether to look for a different commenting solution (although I really don't want to mess about with it too much!).

  11. Hmmm, that's very annoying - I installed disqus cos I thought everyone would get a reply! Maybe if I tag you in it, you'll get to see it: @twitter-288275332:disqus
    does that work? x

  12. Yes, perhaps. I'm thinking I might have to look into other commenting applications - I really wanted everyone to be able to get replies!

  13. In a word: no. I was just reading your muffins post and thought 'I wonder if Fiona replied to my comment' so checked and found this! x
