That’s happening to me, also — but only in Firefox, not IE. I’m pretty good with CSS, but Disqus resists most of my formatting changes.

You can use disqus on multiple sites and still display the most recent comments. Disqus syncs up with your wordpress install, so when new comments are posted to Disqus, they get synced up to your wordpress comments – as a result, the usual plugins one would use display recent comments (widgets, etc) can be used. The only place you actually need Disqus’ interface is in the actual comments section at the bottom of a post. I use Disqus on several websites that use multisite, and have had no issues.

We’re very new to blogging and I added Disqus to one of our sites, but I’m hearing people are discouraging using an outside comment host on a multisite install. I’m just a little confused. I like the extra features that Disqus has w/o having to install individual plugins, but I’m just a little apprehensive.

I want the users to be able to go from site to site, but each individual site to also display its most recent comments. Haven’t installed it on another site yet. Sorry, I don’t know why I’m typing this here… this post just came up during my google search. You’ve had it for a year, so that’s encouraging. Thanks for listening, I’ll contact the Disqus site re: these issues soon.

I’ve been pretty happy with it so far. There is a CSS clear that screws up my layout a smidge (it’s why there is a large gap between the bottom of the blog post and the top of the comments section – the code is on their end, not mine, so there’s nothing I can do about it though.) One of their recent upgrades is clashing with the CSS on several of my sites, causing some Disqus navigation to float off to the right, but it hasn’t bothered me enough to try to track down the specifics. I’ve integrated it into several of my sites now, and overall I’m pretty happy. I do hope they fix the CSS wonk soon though.

It’s been a year, almost to the day, since you wrote about integrating Disqus into your blog. What’s the verdict? I see you overcame the bigger style issues. (You’ve got the best looking comment integration I think I’ve ever seen on any blog using Disqus!) I no longer use it on my sites to manage comments, but I still use their Widget in my sidebar to aggregate comments left on other blogs that use Disqus.

Thanks. This happens only to logged users. Non-logged user see everything normal.

I think this is related to some new features they pushed out. I haven’t had time to dig through the CSS and see if I can find a workaound. (Their comments section has always been a little broken for me, since they have an extra CSS clear: both that pushes my comments far down the page after a load of white space. Meh.) I’ll post back here if I do find a workaround though.

I have a stupid problem with Disqus, and I see that you have it also. Buttons Expand Comunity Box and dropdown Disqus are in some weird place near top of post !#?

Same on my blog too. Do you have any solution for this problem?

Thank you in advance.
