A to Z Challenge - T and Disqus Issues!!!

For the A to Z Challenge, I am featuring some awesome bloggers. These individuals have offered so much support of my book, CassaStar, and me on my blogger journey. Of course, I’ll be keeping up with the world of movies, music, and pop culture stuff as well! Ninjas are just talented that way...


Ten Lives and Second Chances
Without a doubt, Kitty is one of my favorite people online! She possess such a great attitude and the origin of her blog title is really touching. Where she shines is in her comments! I have to make sure I’m not drinking when I read them. Kitty possesses a playful spirit that shines all over the web, and I’m honored she graces my blog with her presence.

Tessa's Blurb
Tessa is a writer - she thinks! But I know she's a writer. She's also an avid reader. She discusses both on her blog, but there's a lot more to Tessa. She's a sweetheart, and you'll discover that when she visits your blog. (I think she visits mine because I amuse her...)

DISQUS ISSUES!

For those of you who use the Disqus comment box, I've experienced challenges this week. I think a couple others had trouble as well. So, if you have a Disqus comment box (Ocean Girl, TS, Maurice) I may or may not be able to leave a comment. Sorry!

Anyone else feeling challenged with Disqus?

Have a Happy Easter, everyone! Got a couple movies to watch, but not heading to the theater. Wife wants to see the stupid cat movie. Last fall, the stupid horse movie was all right, but didn't care for the stupid owl movie. Maybe I should just avoid animal flicks in general!

My book trailer is in another contest at You Gotta Read Videos! If you think my trailer is cool and all that, please go vote!!! My publisher did such an awesome job with the trailer…

    Yay for Tessa;s Blurb too!!

    I so tried to vote again but wasn't allowed to!

    Yay for the cat movie!!! May you watch many more!

    Siv, glad it's not just me!

    Pk, I saw one that sucked last night - I'll review it on Monday.

    Nebular - I know! Maybe it's just me and animals.

    Emily, you make it sound so enticing...

    Laura, it's not just you!

    Jessica, it was working for me, but not anymore.

    Kitty, and it's comments like that I adore! You're right - it's spelt wrong!

    Jeffrey, I'll NetFlix it for her!

    Thanks everyone and have an awesome Easter weekend!

    I seem to have trouble commenting on blogs even without disqus. :( But it's teaching me to be more patient. I think.

    For those having disqus problems, I sent off a letter to disqus. They said it's a problem with older browsers and they hope to have it patched for next week.

    Have a happy Easter Alex!

  32. Notes Along the Way with Mary Montague SikesApril 23, 2011 at 12:26 PM

    Right now, I'm wondering if "T" should be for tornadoes! What is going on? North Carolina had 100s (did I read that correctly) of them last Saturday and the St. Louis Airport was devastated last night. A middle school near where we live and many of its buses were destroyed during a tornado last Saturday.

    Hope today is quieter. Happy Easter!

    Betty, you don't have issues...

    Charles, I can do it if I use my iPad.

    Nancy, and Easter Chicken? I wonder how he tastes...?

    TS, thanks, and guess it's time to update the browser...

    Monti, hope it's quieter as well! And I saw the videos from the St. Louis airport - unconfirmed my ass, that's tornado damage!

    You don't like animals or just animal movies?

    I remember years ago, I watched the first Lassie movie and when she went over the water fall, hubby said she died. I was so upset, because Lassie never dies!!!

    It was a long wait for Lassie to limp back home. Hubby never gave it away either, just kept telling me...I knew I should have married someone else!!!

    Well, that had nothing to do with this but I did vote for you, Alex.

    I am ready for the second book. Hurry up!!!

    Gail, I love animals. Just don't need to see them mating and stuff in nature specials.
    And my wife would kill me if I did that to her...

    Disqus doesn't particularly like me I am not quite sure why. I often have trouble leaving comments on people's blogs who use disqus. Sometimes it lets me other times it doesn't. At least now I know I am not the only one it doesn't like.

    Dafeenah, you're not. TS said it's a browser issue, so I guess we all need to upgrade.

    I have had problems with Disqus, Intense Debate, as well as some of the other blog hosts or filters or whatever they are. Since I started going through Google Chrome some of the problems have been remedied, but still they at time reoccur. I have let a few of the site owners know when I really had problems, but I guess they will just have to deal with less comments if they don't want to change.

    Disqus is a huge pain in the rear. I still think it's better than the native commenting system, but the synchronization and browser support is horrible. Sorry about that.
