Disqus new private profiles feature is coming soon

On the Disqus blog post about the new profile views that has recently been added to the embed, many users have complained and begged Disqus for a feature that would allow users to restrict who gets to follow them, block users, and allow them to set their profiles to private entirely.

Disqus 2012 Released to the Public!

It is finally here! Disqus 2012 is released to the public. It was in public beta for a month now, but now it is officially out. Disqus did a big post about it on their blog, so here is their blog post below.


I am using Disqus 2012 on my site right now, actually for about 3 weeks now. I have been gathering feedback on it, so far so good. I'm still waiting for media embed support and CSS support.

Here is the post below.

Disqus 2012 on this site

Dear readers,
If you have not noticed yet, you might notice that the comments are not looking as the way they should be. That is because I have enabled Disqus 2012, for a short period of time. The reason -- to see how it is like here. My personal opinion is one thing, but this site is not about me. I'd make my own personal blog for that...which would also be powered by Disqus.

I have had this enabled for only one day, and I have submitted just under 10 bugs with Disqus 2012. Sure, it still has bugs, but is stable enough to have on here for a while. Click here to see my initial post about Disqus 2012.

So, do you want Disqus 2012 on this site? Be sure to post a comment below -- using Disqus 2012 and let me know of your thoughts, and also vote in the poll below. I will use both to decide whether or not to keep Disqus 2012 on here.


Below is some pictures I just took:

Here you can see the embed, currently with no comments. This is the same embed for this article. When you star a discussion, you can share it on twitter and facebook, subscribe to it via RSS, and subscribe to it via email. If you are logged in, you'll also see the My Disqus tab, similar to the current Disqus Dashboard. When you click the gear drop down menu, you have more options, such as logging out, accessing help, and more.

Here, you can see community info. This is the equivalent of the community box from the "classic" Disqus.

If you have questions, drop a line below. And don't forget to vote in the poll, and comment below.

Disqus 2012

You know about Disqus, right? They happen to be the people who power our comments here. Just wanted to share one of their projects that are underway...Disqus 2012.


Disqus 2012 is a complete rebuilt of the Disqus system. It has a new embed, with features such as the community box and Dashboard integrated into it.
