Disqus problems on specific website

Unread post by back2themoon » 2019-07-29, 13:09

Would you please check this website by pressing the blue bar at the bottom to expand Disqus comments? Comments will eventually appear (with a delay) but some features like reactions do not work and staying logged in is not possible.

I don't know if it's a website problem (quite possible, Disqus works everywhere else) or a browser-related issue (Disqus works on that website with other browsers). Some Disqus-related entries do appear in the Error Console. Thanks.

Code: Select all

PM, no extensions, disqus popped right up.

FF 70, "normal" Profile, so with extensions, "Disqus seems to be taking longer than usual. Reload?".
(And never did display.)

Thanks. Do you see the Disqus reactions? (upvote, funny, love etc.)

Not really sure just what that is, but if it's the stuff like ^ v, then, yes.

Not really familiar with disqus, so not really sure what to expect there.)

No, they are extra smileys. I noticed they appear even if not logged in to Disqus. Screenshot is from Edge, they do not appear on PM.

No, I don't see that - unless I open that part "directly".

Ok, thanks for confirming the issue.

How did you get that direct link by the way?

The Disqus part is a frame, so right-click in that area, This Frame -> Open Frame In New Tab.

Looks like comments stopped appearing altogether, so now even the Frame workaround is unavailable. :-(

-bump-

Any chance we could figure out if it's a browser problem or website issue?

Recap: Disqus comments will not appear. They do on other browsers (this website), but they also appear on other websites on Pale Moon.

Example link - press the blue bar at the bottom to show comments and bring up Disqus reactions - it doesn't work:

Chrome based browsers?
Nor do they appear with Firefox ESR.

Thanks - I don't know about those. Comments appear on IE, Edge, FF 68.

If FF ESR also doesn't work, I'd tend to blame the website but can't be really sure.

Firefox ESR 60.8.0 (still supported by Mozilla), the one I was testing with, is basically Firefox 60.
If the site works with Firefox 68 then the site probably relies on code not supported by Firefox 60 and Pale Moon.

try this.
open the site.
reload the site and immediately click the blue bar before the site is fully loaded.
the comments will show with the icons.
not how it should be but works here.
no override set.

Thank you rereser, weird workaround but it works. If you are quick enough to press the bar the first time, the reload can be avoided.

I won't mark this as solved yet, I'll try contacting the website (again) even though I have no clue what's going on and what needs to be fixed.

disqus comment function can be tested here.
maybe include this in your contact with the site.

The demo site most definitely works without an issue in Pale Moon.

Hi, I have similar problem.
Palemoon can't load Disqus forum on specific website:
https://www.postoj.sk/46215/knihomolov- ... vizme-dnes

On the end of the article there is blue "+" sign, when you click on it should load discussion.
On Palemoon and Firefox 60 ESR it doesn't work.
On Firefox 68 ESR it work as usual.

Any workaround?
Thanks

Did you read the thread? The workaround described 4 posts above your own also works on postoj.sk.

Looks like this is a similar (or same?) issue.
