The IntenseDebate CommentLuv Plugin is back in action. We temporarily disabled the plugin after it came to our attention that there was a service issue which caused a JavaScript error that prevented IntenseDebate from working properly.

Hats off to the Andy and the CommentLuv team for their hard work to resolve the issue quickly. CommentLuv should be re-enabled automatically for your site, but please check your plugin settings at http://intensedebate.com/plugins.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

The IntenseDebate CommentLuv Plugin is currently encountering a service connection issue that is interfering with our comment system. We’re in contact with the team at CommentLuv and they’re working to resolve the problem. We have temporarily disabled the CommentLuv Plugin until they’re able to get it back up and running. We apologize for the inconvenience and we appreciate your patience. We’ll post an update as soon as it’s fixed.

We’re stoked to announce that our WordPress.com user account auto-login feature is back up and running.  We had disabled it briefly while we made some backend changes to the way this feature works, and it’s more solid than ever. This means that if you’re a WordPress.com user and you’re logged into your account, you’ll automatically be logged into IntenseDebate as well.  All you have to do is type your comment and hit submit.

Thanks for your patience!
