What a great post and even better discussion. And it is the discussion that has helped convince me that I need to consider leaving disqus for CommentLuv.

Any tips on porting existing comments? Any things I should be aware of in the process?

This post along with the comments is awesome. After reading all of this today, I uninstalled Discus and added CommentLuv. I did not lose any comments, just some of the photos of the users. I do miss the ability to reply directly to a comment though.

You need a follow-up post to tell the rest of us coding ‘fraidy-cats exactly how to go about doing the coding you are talking about there. *I hate coding*

Great discussion – I was considering if using CommentLuv was the best choice but I really do feel like it is! This post helped me feel a whole lot better about that decision!

How did you do that twitter box *is very jealous!*

Thanks Emmalina! I am going to change to commentluv as well today or tomorrow when I get a few moments…you’ve eased my mind on the transition process!

No, you won’t lose any comments once you uninstall Disqus. You’ll just lose the pretty interface! I also began using it for the threaded comments, but WP has since been updated to incorporate that anyway.

CommentLuv doesn’t work with Disqus, unfortunately.

Thanks for the advice. I wasn’t getting as many comments as I would have liked out of Disqus, with a lot of readers saying that they were unable to comment or even load the comments at all. I decided this morning to switch to DoFollow/CommentLuv…we’ll see how it goes!

I appreciate this article. I’m having a heck of a time getting the word out on my site. I do comment on quite a few blogs, but rarely do I get many incoming hits, and my site is too “niche” to do many link trades with.

So, my search to see if Disqus was “do follow” led me here, but I read they use a AJAX system and do not offer much link juice. I was going to join the “do follow” movement, but I might need to install commentluv to do so.

Thanks for the article!

Hey guys, I’m one of those Disqus users because I liked the layout and threaded commenting. I didn’t know anything about commentluv or keywordluv at the time. I’ve been wanting to change because of reasons most of you have mentioned (better for commenters and SEO) but don’t want anything to complicated for myself either.

1. If you’ve moved from disqus to commentluv, do you lose your comments you have thus far?

2. I’m assuming you can’t have both installed correct?

great post on commentluv. i experimented with both discus and commentluv before settling on commentluv. It is definitely more user friendly.

I’ve been trying to debate between these same two commenting systems. I’m actually hoping they can someday play nicely together.

What made you switch back to CommentLuv? Was it as difficult as you thought it might be?
