The Movie Blog’s new commenting system

Today marks a new day as we are finally doing away with our old archaic system that we optimistically called a ‘commenting system’. Today marks the first day of us using the Livefyre commenting system which we’re sure everyone will agree is a marked improvement over our efforts in the past. The new system will offer real time comments and the ability to post with an assortment of options including your pre-existing Facebook, Google, Twitter, Linkedin, and Open ID credentials. Not all of the old comments made the transition to this new platform but rather than continuing to drag our feet and preventing you from expressing your opinion we made the decision to start fresh.

A few benefits of the new system are:

  1. Lightning fast and no longer allows you time to fix a sandwich while you wait for your comment to post
  2. The ability to “follow” nestled conversations
  3. Multitude of login options
  4. The ability to share your comments on your social networks
  5. Flag comments as inappropriate rather than what was typically known as “yelling at that guy”
  6. The ability to adjust your own personal settings

We’re still ironing out some kinks and we’ll be eliminating the secondary facebook comments system  so be sure try it out and let us know what you think of the new system below.

  1. Many People like the <b><a href=”http://www.louisvuittonbagssale-usa.com”>Cheap Louis Vuitton Bags</a></b> very much and would consider that the Louis Vuitton Company come from In italy , in fact it is born from paris in France.So you unlidely see real <b><a href=”http://www.louisvuittonbagssale-usa.com”>Louis Vuitton Bags For Sale</a></b> in other city except france. But please don’t worry about that ,if you want to buy a cheap louis vuitton items ,you could search the Louis Vuitton Online in the internet,you can get the cheap louis vuitton handbags anywhere.

  2. How do you change the page your name links to? I don’t like that I need to go to poster’s livefyre profiles to find links to their websites.  I liked being able to browse commentors’ personal blogs and things.
    Other than that & the reply name in chained comments (which you’ve noticed), all is great! 

  3. This is nice to have compared to the old system. But I do see a few things you should probably fix. The font color for things you can click on in each comment is blending into the background. You pretty much have to know they are there to know they exist. So just change the color and it will be easier to see.

      1.  @TMBErik Yep you’re welcome.. Things like the share and flag button are hard to see as well as your point level and the fact that you are moderator.
