Just from browsing the comment threads on some articles on ReadWrite, it seems as-if people are making tons of mistakes, or more than likely, something is broken on the site and posting comments to the wrong article pages. (Seeing phone/camera toss comments on Google Stock article, google chromebook article, etc.)
- jsdalton 14y agoYeah, looks like they've set this up as a single page app but they are using Disqus for comments, which was not really built around that concept. I have a feeling their are some loose ends in their code where a user visits Page A then navigates to Page B and posts a comment there, but Disqus wasn't properly updated and the comment therefore gets filed under Page A.
- thrashr888 14y agoDev here. They actually launched a new feature to reload comments for us. We're still working on the comment thread bugs. Using the new api and changing the domain + urls made migration complicated. It was working just fine pre-launch, of course.
- jsdalton 14y agoLooks like you guys did nice work btw, didn't mean to sound like I was ragging on you. Pulling off a publication as a single-page app is no mean feat -- it's hard to think of anyone who has pulled it off.
- thrashr888 14y agoYeah, no problem. :) It't not really a single-page-app, we just load the next article via ajax. First page loads normally. I prototyped that out but quickly realized it was totally overkill for a publication like this. This particular issue is actually related to migrating comments to the new domain & urls. We actually have to provide Disqus with legacy urls for old articles. A few got mixed up. The reloading is actually working just fine.
