Unfortunately, the developers of CoComment decided to upgrade their scripts during a new beta phase of the project — in such a way that the comments left on any site which had been “integrated” began receiving a blue background image! This, imo, was extremely stupid. Do I want all comments left at D5GW to have a blue background, especially considering the color scheme here? Hell no. Not only that, 1) hovering over any text in the comment, or anywhere on the comment, changed the cursor to the link-select cursor even though clicking on the comment did nothing, and 2) IE 7.0 at least returned a scripting error on every individual entry page!
Needless to say, the CoComment integration script has been removed from the site. For those still using the CoComment add-on for Firefox or the CoComment quick link button for IE, leaving comments at D5GW might still send the appropriate info to your account at CoComment; I’m not sure. In any case, out of protest, I now work with a version of Firefox which does not have the CoComment add-on.

I also removed co-comment from firefox, mainly because of how it msessed with the formatting of the sites it was “integrating” with.
It’s a useful idea, but not there yet.
Curtis - Appreciate your feedback and sorry that you’ve experienced problems. As you may have seen on our blog, we did encounter few issues during the transition to V2 Beta, which we’ve been working very hard to resolve. The problems you experienced are likely related to this …
Here is a quick update on progress with V2 Beta to date …
1. coComment Client: we’ve reverted to using Version 1.0 Client everywhere except on the sidebar, so you should not have more site compatibility issues or errant buttons
2. Database fix: a corruption of our database was discovered and we have now resolved this
3. MyConversations: we reverted to ‘old’ accordion expanding design as preferred by user base, but in new look and feel
4. Sidebar/Launcher/New coCobar: is being modified in response to user feedback (please let us know if you have more feedback)
Again, we apologize unreservedly for any problems you’ve encountered. We are working flat out to resolve the problems as fast as we possibly can and we think, realistically, that coComment will once again be stable by the end of this week.
Feel free to contact me at kristina@cocomment.com if you have any questions or feedback … I’d be happy to help! Kristina
