And I meant to write 'right' rather than write.

No problem. I suggest adding a blog to the website so I can subscribe to updates by rss.

Btw, links in twitter posts are *way* more useful with the plugin installed. I used to skip most of them. Now I find myself following them more often because I have some context to go on.

Twitter is especially annoying because it automatically converts any link that is longer than 30 chars to a tinyurl whether you want it to or not.

You're write - I meant to write email rather than text document.

Hello Disqus.

Re: Notify me of followup comments via e-mail

No, the notifications option is different to the feature I was requesting. See my comment above. The notifications option is only available to people with a disqus account. The standard wordpress comment notification will email everyone who commented (if they selected that option when posting the comment ) on a post when a new comment is posted.

"I saw the notifications option. But I'd like the ability for anonymous commenters or commenters that don't have a disqus account to receive notificaton when a new comment is posted. It's a very common feature in blog comments and it encourages discussion because it keeps pulling commenters back to the discussion."

You're right - most people don't care about these kind of features. It's a geek thing.

The classic example is the Slashdot reaction when the first ipod was released.

"No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame. "

Re: Rails Shared Hosting

Hmm, Disqus ate my previous attempt to comment. Anyway...

I don't think that the rails core team care whether rails becomes as popular and widespread as php. The company behind php (Zend) has a business model based on widespread usage of php. The more people use php, the more money they make. Their whole business is based on making php easy to setup and deploy.

On the other hand the companies on the rails core team build web applications. Their business model is based on making money from these applications, not from the framework itself.

Dreamhost a hosting business. If they want to make money from making rails easy to deploy on a shared host they should hire someone to implement this functionality. It would benefit them in the long run and would be more productive than complaining about it.

Hi Daniel,

I saw the notifications option. But I'd like the ability for anonymous commenters or commenters that don't have a disqus account to receive notificaton when a new comment is posted. It's a very common feature in blog comments and it encourages discussion because it keeps pulling commenters back to the discussion.

Also your comment above appears to be clipped at "..in your ." but the full comment came through in the email I received about it. i.e. "..in your settings."

Re: Delete a Forum

+1 need to be able to delete a forum. I'm reluctant to use a service where I don't have full control over my own data - that includes being able to delete it.
