... if DISQUS change the API or something
that mediawiki and DISQUS cant communicate anymore, all the comments
might be gone.
We are planning to do a archive page for a 80 yo professor, which
should stay for the next 20+ years and so should the comments.
The same might be said for MediaWiki itself -- or of JavaScript, or CSS, or any of a dozen
or so technologies involved!
If this is for an archive, I would capture the HTML from a common browser rendering and
save that instead.
I tested this DISQUS for several hours now... it dont
seem to be very practicable. I
posted many comments on one Testsite and after closing Firefox and IE
and repointing to the testsite, there are shown "0 Comments". After
pointing to "Newest" I see the old comments but still the Counter
above stands on zero... it takes 15 minutes or so
till the comments are actualized.
This has not been my experience. When I post a comment on our site, it shows up
immediately. Try it if you like in our Sandbox page:
http://www.EcoReality.org/wiki/Sandbox
Do you have a reliable Internet connection? Sometimes when ours is slow, the comment
won't show up until refreshing the page several times. But this is not a Disqus
problem.
