In the interest of full-disclosure with the Intense Debate community, I’d like acknowledge that there have been a couple of bugs in the system. Rest assured, we’ve pushed fixes for the major ones and will have fixes for any lingering ones shortly. We appreciate your patience as we take care of these. We request that you please hold-off on submitting reports for the next few hours as we continue to knock-off the lingering bugs. However, if you are still experiencing any issues at the end of the day, please submit your reports to support@intensedebate.com. Please make your reports as detailed as possible and include any screenshots you have. This will expedite the troubleshooting process.

Thanks for your patience. Intense Debate will be good as new. I’ll keep you updated as we continue to kick some bug ass.

You may have already noticed, but just in case I thought I’d point it out. Last weekend we gave our servers a massive upgrade allowing us to continue to handle the enormous growth Intense Debate has been experiencing. This overhaul has made Intense Debate faster than ever! So if you notice that extra little step in your stride, feather in your hat or what have you, it’s probably because of our new servers!

In addition we’ve also added new editing power to Intense Debate comments. This has been one of the most requested features and we’re pretty excited to deliver it. If your fingers slip or you have a change of heart, there’s no need to fret, you can edit your comments right there immediately!

Sunday, April 20th (tonight), from 12AM-4AM MST Intense Debate will be down for scheduled maintenance. We’re putting up helpful messages on the main Intense Debate site to avoid any confusion. All your data is preserved, Intense Debate is just making a pit stop.

Thanks for your patience,
Tom, Jon, Isaac & the rest of the Intense Debate team

As a part of our most recent release, we tweaked and improved our main site. You’ll now find that it’s much easier to get around and more enjoyable overall.

We’ve also created an Add-ons page, which contains all of the Intense Debate widgets (Blog Stats, Recent Comments, My Recent comments and Top commenters) as well as instructions for Feedflare integration and a list of all your comment feeds! It’s now easier than ever to subscribe to your friends feeds, aggregate your own feed or one of your Intense Debate-enabled blogs. You also have an aggregated feed for all your blogs, and feeds that keep you up to date with comments awaiting moderation. All served on a silver plate.

How do you like the improvements? Please comment below, we have installed a great commenting system that makes it really easy.

This has been one of the most frequently requested features, and for good reason. Now you have the option to delete comments that you’ve made on other blogs. So if you find a typo or have a change of heart, don’t worry about it – nothing is written in stone!

There’s good news for blog owners too. You no longer have to go to your account at IntenseDebate.com in order to delete comments made on your blog. You can now delete comments directly from your blog!

Here’s how you do it: To delete a comment made on a blog, click the “Delete” button found in the lower right corner of the comment box. That’s all there is to it!
