Not relevant to the question I asked.

Why is no-one commenting on YLC stories that require you to use Discus????

There have been stories every day this last week in which not one comment was made, and yet they are hot topics that have been thrashed to death over and over and over again.  There are a number of people on this site who love to repeat the same stuff over and over every chance they get.  Have they died or suddenly woken up?  It is quite mystifying.

Sorry, yes I did spell it wrong.  I have now amended the post.

 

 

 

I may be a bit slow, but what do you mean by "the Discus ". Are you referring to the Olympic event,

or do you mean "discuss"?

"Curious to know why no-one is using the Discus commenting on this site" What exactly do you mean?

I haven't seen any shortage of discussion on YLC. Please explain.

Oh right, I get it now. Thanks for your help.

It looks like you did spell it correctly in the first instance ( Disqus). Being new to YLC, I haven't

progressed beyond "Forum" to all the other categories on the website. I must expand my horizons.

Cheers.

Is it here that nobody replies to?

I have tried myself and I don't know how to get what I have written into the Replies.

For instance

I wrote this..... but I don't know where I should click to get it into print!

Prevention is better than cure Mootnell! I would much rather have the vaccine than the virus any day. Have travelled around the world and have had many inoculations in my 76 years. You can go into your car and get killed, I hope not but it sure happens a lot these days. What about all the people that were flying and suddenly the plane makes a nose dive? I have been on planes where they landing has been aborted suddenly and the pilot had to make another attempt at landing. One was mechanical one was high winds.

this was in reply to this email......

Here we are not further advance vaccinated and those vaccinated are still capable of getting or passing it on. Government still making the same old mistakes and now SA at stage 5 lock down for 12 cases.
According to their own data we have had no deaths this year from Covid but supposedly thousands of contacts with what they say is a highly virulent virus!! yet no deaths in 7 months however we have had 5 deaths from the vaccine. I’m over two years of constant fear mongering and rhetoric.

Follow the money trail, follow the patens, follow who owns and stands to gain most from this named pandemic. There is always a money trail, just like carbon credits and global warming.
‘First convince them there’s a problem and then get them to pay to fix it’ is alive and well

PM censured for pressuring official body to change its vaccine advice (yourlifechoices.com.au)

It is bad enough trying to write never mind all the details of this site to understand for my conditionin.

I have no idea as to what DISQUS    is other than what I have read here just now

Why have Disqus anyway? Are they paying YLC for access to the readership? I am a little reluctant

to register with an entity like Disqus. Just another social media company trying to develop a set

of marketable profiles? Why not just have YLC commentary? I need to be educated about all this.

It seems a little messy to use.

I just used Disqus to make a comment on https://www.yourlifechoices.com.au/age-pension/what-centrelink-support-is-available-when-you-lose-a-loved-one/

Comment box appeared OK, typed in my post just fine and clicked save OK.

BUT ... when I went back to the page my comment was not there but three others were.

Went there again .. no comments showing. Must be a glitch in the system

I am already reluctant about the amount of information I share with google and facebook. Last thing I want to do is share my information with an untrusted commercial firm to sell on a list to spammers and third parties.

Beware of the disqus dark web. Maybe that's why many don't comment on it.

It has not been working for weeks now, I have commented and gone back and it does not show. Anyone contacted YLC's about it?

Hi folks,

This is all great feedback. So, you don't trust Disqus or just don't want to use it? Quick recap: the reason we went with Disqus was to see if the moderation tools would help us clean up the comments and deter spammers. That has certainly been the case. We also introduced it as a means to improve site performance, which it also has done. But we'd rather our members feel comfortable to comment on articles.

So, Disqus or no Disqus? Let's hear it? We'd love your feedback on this!

I say stick with Disqus.  Cleaning up the comments and getting rid of the spammers is worth it.

If you have to login with a social media platform, like Facebook, Twitter,etc., for the Disqus thingo

to work properly, then I'm out.
