It would be an understatement to say our tech team is truly gratified by the positive response (both numerically and in words) to our new comment system. So thank you. This is especially the case since initial reactions to significant changes on website with a long history are usually pretty negative at the beginning. (I was excited to see that in the first 24 hours online we had 3 stories that got into triple digits in comment count.) If you haven’t tried it yet, I wanted to again flag this primer on how the new system works and some details about how to use it.
The main bug we’ve identified is on iPad, where the comments ‘drawer’ does not scroll properly. We’re working on it.
We also have some people who are “logged in” to the site on the top nav bar but then told separately that they need to log in in the comments section. We’re looking into this too. But if you are experiencing this it would help us a great deal if you could email us and let us know what operating system and browser you’re using, whether you’re a Prime member or registered user and any other details you can share about the problem.
Please let us know your thoughts and ping us with whatever glitches you find. We remain in a beta testing phase so your feedback and bug alerts help a great deal.
