Free Pictures | acobox.comI have installed a commenting system called Intense Debate which allows people to have user accounts, track their comments, and lots of other fancy things that I’m not really 100% sure about yet.  In any case, it’s software recently purchased by Automattic – the makers of WordPress (which runs the League) – so it should integrate nicely.  All old comments are currently being “imported” and will show up soon.  Please register with the new system to have more control over your profile and comments etc. (which includes my fellow OG’s).

This is a test run and if we decide we don’t like it or get lots of negative feedback we’ll revert ot the old style.   Hopefully threaded comments and all the added control will be a good thing.  We shall see.

Cheers!

E.D. the new system to work fine on the newer posts, but in the older posts the comments are garbled. Any fix for this or am I doing something incorrect? Thanks

E.D.:

Testing.

Also, I seeded to NV the article about Culture11 from the Washington Monthly.

Yeah, it was a good piece I thought. Pretty insightful all-told.

Do you have a post in particular where comments are garbled?
