    I couldn't seem to get the 'login' button on Disqus to work from the mobile or full website from withing the S60 browser..... might just yet another N97 'quirk' though...... ;-)

    LOVE it that you've now moved to disqus though, much easier!

    I'll keep testing. I definitely would like to see a mobile-friendly version of the login with less graphics - perhaps just simple text links or something. I'll also continue tweaking things (we're painfully aware that the mobile site needs some serious attention, specifically for touchscreen phones like the N97)

    Did you consider Intense Debate at all?

    I've tested it a while ago and it seemed quite nice, but haven't checked in on it in a while.

    Hi Ricky, As you can see, I'm also using disqus. Using a Blackberry (among various Symbian devices), I can immediately receive and moderate comments from my website.
    The only drawback is that I encountered some issues during the initial imports ((more than 6.000 comments to import).
    I set up and run Disqus for a couple of months and ask readers their advice:
    - When I launch it
    - After 2 months of use
    The result is that, even though it was 50/50 during the 1rst poll, Disqus received a great majority of positive comments on the 2nd poll.
    I think users do appreciate to be able to use a single login on various blog, to manage their comments online, and being able to comment using their Facebook or Twitter account.

    I find Disqus to be very frustrating and frankly am less likely to comment on a site with it. What is frustrating about it: the login. If I click the Disqus button to log in, it will ask me for my Disqus credentials and then not log me in. Then I fill the Name, Email, Website info below the comments section and push the Post as Guest button & then Disqus wakes up and Says "Would you like to post as Ms. Jen?" Yes, Disqus, I would.

    It happens on every site that I have tried to comment on that uses Disqus. Bad user experience. gah.

    I prefer the native comment systems that come with the blog software. Jacobite. ;o)
