I made an account for the sole reason to say that this new commenting system is completely atrocious. This is horrible and disappointing to see this happen. Hopefully you will return to using Disqus as your commenting system.

Definitely horrible commenting system.
But I like how they say that it’s funny the writer said that Mariano Rivery played for “some good clubs”…. plural… lol.

Do you have any specific feedback on the commenting system?
raysfanenigma
It is terribly inconvenient. Harder to be notified, makes discussions harder, you can only get alerts by email when someone gives you feedback, you cant upvote or downvote a comment, limited to names, you cant even use a capital letter, everything is just atrocious. Honestly the only good thing about the commenting system is that you can talk to other people, even though it’s now been made terribly inconvenient. Disqus was far better and I’m disappointed it is no longer being used on here.
Tim Dierkes
We’re still kicking around ideas on notifications. Upvoting is in the works, although we may leave out downvoting for now. If you click on your profile up top you can change your display name and use capital letters and such. I am sorry about the terrible inconvenience, but please understand that we intend to improve the system now that we have it under our roof.

But why change a system that was already excellent?
Tim Dierkes
I wrote about that a bit here:
mlbtraderumors.com/2015/06/new-commenting-system-a…
I want to have a good commenting system and to be able to modify it as needed. I think it can be done and missing a couple of features will be a short-term thing.
raysfanenigma
It still doesn’t explain why you changed it though. It was perfectly satisfying and showed you when you had a reply on your post by showing “one new reply” under it. Everything was easy and convenient. Now you have to refresh your page to see new comments, and the page is refreshed when you do comment
Tim Dierkes
It does explain it. It is about gaining the ability to customize and removing the risk of leaving Disqus as the caretaker of all the site’s comments. I’m thinking big picture here.
joshb600
It’s a rocky start but the fact you have more customization leaves the door open for improvement. It’s new. People don’t adapt to change well any more. We’ll adjust.

Very hard to be notified. Also with Discus LOVED that I could see a notification icon next to my name when I had an unread reply and I could see my most recent threads in list form.

Jeff, by the way, meant a lot of good Yankees clubs. #Don’tNeedANewWriterJeffToddIsAwesome
Jeff Todd
Wait, so I’m not fired? Yesss!
raysfanenigma
Jeff is a good writer, don’t need a new one. But I do appreciate the articles being the same
Jeff Todd
Glad you were able to battle through the commenting system to offer your constructive criticism.
That construction is commonly used to refer to various iterations of the same organization. As in, “the great Yankees teams of the 1950s,” for example.

Very glad to see NY get Finley signed, really thought the pick was a great value for where they landed him.
