Blog Note

As many of you have noticed, every day around this time for the past week or so, comments have started going wonky—comments take forever to appear on the page, and/or they appear and then disappear.

It makes having a conversation difficult, and I know it makes commenting frustrating, because you don't know if your comment got saved and will eventually appear, or if it's lost in the ether—and many of you have emailed me thinking your comments got deleted for some reason.

Comments are being saved. They're just taking a while to appear (or reappear, as the case may be).

It's a known technical problem that Disqus is working on. Last night, Disqus let me know via Twitter "it might be rough for next few days to a week until some of our planned improvements come online."

So, I just want to say again that I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and hopefully it will be resolved soon.

Shakesville is run as a safe space. First-time commenters: Please read Shakesville's Commenting Policy and Feminism 101 Section before commenting. We also do lots of in-thread moderation, so we ask that everyone read the entirety of any thread before commenting, to ensure compliance with any in-thread moderation. Thank you.
