EDIT: I removed it for now. Having some problems with the new comment system, and I’ll have to fix them before putting it back in place.

I just installed a new commenting system on Awesomeology.

It’s called “Intense Debate” and it should make the comment section easier, better looking, and more fun in general for all you.

Some cool features include giving “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” to comments, threaded comments (so you can reply directly to someone’s comment rather than all the way at the bottom), “reputation” (the more valuable your comments, the higher your standing in the awesomeology community), etc.

I didn’t want to mess with past comments, so all past posts that had comments on them (like this one with 34 comments) will not change. All future posts (and past posts with no comments) have Intense Debate on them.

Please do me a favor and test it out by leaving a comment on this post. If you have an opinion on this new comment system, I’d love to hear it. Or you can just type in some random words because that will also help me to see how well it works.

    There's a problem in IE 6.0 (what I use at work)…the comments expand and push your smaller sidebar down to the bottom of the page.
