I don’t know why you would implement something that is worse then the last version.

<p>Almost every site I read during the week has taken it upon itself to WORSEN its commenting system. ZDNet, IDG sites, now here. I suppose it’s a hard computer science problem to try to come up with something close to Reddit or Disqus.<br /><br />Pet peave with the new comments: the tech enthusiasts who’d leave comments really need Undo and Redo buttons?</p>
<p>What did Disqus didn’t offer that you wanted?</p>
<p>This whole new comment system have to have lots of work done. With Disqus, they did all the work.</p>
<p>In Disqus I’m able to get noticfications of replies to my comments, I was able to edit them, I was able to block the spammer who makes money from using google to by a McLauran.</p>
<p>On here, none of that stuff can be done.</p>

<p>All basic users now can read three premium posts for free, this could not be done with Disqus. </p>

<p>that really doesn’t fix the comments.</p>
<p>I’m on my phone now. It does not auto capitalize, unless I start a new sentence on the same line. But if I hit enter yo start a new line, it won’t.</p>
<p>LORDBAAL1, you’ve been critical of the Premium option and now the new comments system from day one. Give the comments a chance for goodness sake. They have said often a lot of those missing features are being implemented this week. </p>

<p>Well I’ve given the new comment system a chance, for a several days. . it is clearly not ready to be used , and they have clearly not even tested it properly before launching it … no edit function?? .. common. It is not 1997 anymore </p>
<p> </p>
<p>and now the redesign .. I bought in to the Premium thing, but I must say , the site look less and less premium every day . Now I can hardly even read the articels (hard to find and tiny tiny text), and the new comment system you better be prepared to copy , delete, create new comment , paste .. post .. a lot . They can not have spend much more then a week creating that system.</p>
<p>Personally I am not a fan of third party comments system like Disqus. From the podcast Brad stated that they are continuing to work on it and I am ok with that.</p>
