Our Commenting System

It seems like if I either write a long comment or write multiple comments in a short period of time, I have to sign in again.

That CEO guy should be fired..

Im actually 100% with darkstar, I guess there is a first for everything. The spam filters make it difficult to post anything as it is, and they want to add more?? Editing posts would be real nice, something that nearly every other system has.

A positive I have noticed on other message systems (like rotoworld forums for example) is that you have the ability to click on a user name and it will list all their previous posts. This is extremely helpful when discerning whether someone is being a homer, or they are not fans of the team in question and are giving an unbiased analysis.

Just thinking about this for a little bit, I have to ask...

Is your blogging platform worth losing all of the features u would gain (editing, sorting,..just plain working) by swithing? What about the fact that im pretty sure at least half the users have trouble with it...

Double post... so ironic...

And it had email address on the form.

Tim and Question for all,

another thing ~ I am actually having problems with the site on my blackberry the last 24 hours. Not sure if its my phone only (other sites load fine), so figured I would ask everyone if they are experiencing the same instead of emailing you with the problem. Reads “requesting script” for 2 mins then fails…

Blackberry problems anyone?

Jersey,

“There is nothing worse then typing a long, eloquent, genius post only to hit "Post" and have the site tell you that you aren't signed in. If you aren't signed in, you're not supposed to even be able to type.”

…yeah there is. Same exact situation you explain happens with this added to the end of it:
Then have to go back, log out because it still says its logged in, wait for the logout to complete only to have to log back in to get the chance of typing the post again…

I have actually become accustom to just typing everything in Word first then pasting it into Type-Key figuring it will put me through said problem… That’s a sad situation to be put in from a supposed message site!

FWIW, the commenting is working for me now. I was having the "no box" problem, but it seems to have been fixed.

I know that TypeKey sucks for many.

But I have to be honest, I comment here a lot (using IE) and rarely experience problems. Most days I don't have to log in or do the spam filter. I know some people like to post massively long comments, and it doesn't like that. It does do a great job keeping out spam comments.

Personally I rarely type really long comments and never ever read them.

Ability to edit comments and stay logged in all the time, they definitely need.

Thanks Tim for working on making this site better. Love the content - hate the commenting system. Here is my official list of wants based off other slick forums I participate in:

1. Stay logged in
2. Editing comments / deleting comments
3. Profiles (to view what a poster has written in the past)

Like others, I bet I get logged out once every 3 times I try to post something. The spam filter was a major headache a month ago but hasn't come up lately.

The really confusing thing is that better commenting systems have been around for years. I'm shocked that TypeKey is so obsolete.

What type of problems do you have on your BlackBerry BJ? I have never had problems before last night (and continuing this afternoon). It had never denied me before this though, just been extremely slow from time to time…

Also Tim, just checked and still experiencing the same problem on my phone. It reads "requesting script" on the statue bar for a few mins then eventually goes to the blackberry screen with a "A problem occurred while trying to render the page" popup.

Tim, TypeKey sucks and it sucks bad. You've got battered housewife syndrome; you're in the denial stage. He's not really that bad, he really loves me, etc. No. You've got to make a clean break.

I don't know if anyone else has brought this up, but if you try and post on here at later times, you simply can't, you get re-directed to some form that has a bunch of lines you have to fill in, but even if you do, you still can't post.

That's ridiculous. Probably 1 out of every 5 posts I make never gets on here because of that.

It's really bush league, and maybe that was fine when you were running the site for fun, but not now.

I can picture all the juvies who are pouring over stats and stuff trying to figure out their point of view and then hitting the wrong button. hahaha. This sytem is not that bad, it takes a milisecond to process the post which is always nice. But yeah I guess I can come up with some issues. It would be nice if the page loaded to where your comment was instead of all the way at the top.

What about diaries? I think it would be awesome to have this site be slightly more interactive to read what other fans are saying and thinking beyond comments.
