I have been exploring externally managed commenting systems (我一直在探索外部管理的評論系統( example例如 ) and so I revisited Haloscan (registered in my ) ,所以我重新在Haloscan (註冊在我 blogger blogging Blogger的博客 days).天) 。 The funniest part was their support forum.該funniest的一部分,是他們的支持論壇。 Their answers are distributed thinly across the forum.他們的答案是分佈式薄,整個論壇。 A consolidation post, by a "satisfied customer", will aptly illustrate the challenges of using Haloscan.合併後,由一個“滿意的客戶” ,正好說明會的挑戰,使用的Haloscan 。


1. 1 。 Help!幫助! My old comments disappeared from Haloscan and my blog!我的老評論消失的Haloscan和我的博客!

A: You're not a Premium member, are you?答:您還不是會員的保費,你呢? If you're not, all comments older than 4 months will be archived by Haloscan (NOT deleted).如果您不是,所有的評論年紀比4個月內將存檔的Haloscan (未刪除) 。 You cannot presently access these without becoming a Premium member. No, there is no other way.你不能訪問這些目前沒有成為會員的保費。 沒有,有沒有其他辦法。

2. 2 。 Why should I pay US$12 to become a Premium member?我為什麼要支付12美元成為會員的保費?

A: 'cos you'll be supporting a great commenting service that's been operating for zilch over the last what is it, twelve months? 1 : '產地來源證您將支持一個偉大的評論服務的運作zilch在過去它是什麼, 12個月呢? And because you'll get access to your old comments and heaps more.和,因為您將獲取您的舊的意見和堆積更多。 And 'cos you're a community-minded nice person cool.gif和'產地來源證您是社區志同道合的尼斯人cool.gif

3. 3 。 Alright then.好吧,然後。 Where do I become a Premium Member?我在哪裡,成為保費會員?

A: Here答:在這裡

4. 4 。 Cool.涼爽的。 Forked over my dosh, what now?叉超過我的dosh ,現在該怎麼做?

Wait 24 or so hours.等待24小時,或使。 Haloscan will notify you via email that your old comments have been restored.在Haloscan將通過電子郵件通知您,您的舊評論已經恢復。

5. 5 。 I waited, got the email, and my old comments show up on my Haloscan "Manage Comments" menu - but not on my blog! i等,得到了電子郵件,和我的老評論顯示在我的Haloscan “管理的意見”菜單-但不是對我的博客! The counter still shows Zero!!櫃檯仍顯示為零!

A: Have you got more than 80 posts in total on your blog?答:你有80多個職位,總在你的博客? If so, your blog is way more interactive than mine laugh.gif Anything over 80 threads will be counted as Zero in the comments link on your blog.如果是的話,您的博客的方式更具互動性比煤礦laugh.gif任何超過80線程將被視為零,在評論鏈接在您的博客上。 The comments are still there, if you click the comments link they will pop up - it's just that they're counted as Zero.評論仍然存在,如果你點擊鏈接,他們的意見,會彈出-這只是他們正在算作零。 Dunno if this will be fixed any time soon. dunno如果這將是固定的任何時間很快。

6. 6 。 Hang on - the only people to leave me occasional comments are my insomniac brother and some assorted misfits.坑上-唯一的人離開我偶爾的評論是我的i nsomniac的兄弟和一些配套m isfits。 I've got nowhere near 80 threads and the counter is still Zero!我已經行不通了近80個線程和櫃檯仍是零! WTF?? wtf嗎?

A: Here's the fix: if no-one left a comment after you became a Premium Member and had your old comments restored, the comment count hasn't been refreshed.答:這裡的該修補程序:如果沒有一個人留下了評論後,您成為會員的保費,並已您的舊評論恢復,評論計數沒有得到刷新。 What you do is post a comment on your blog (and then later delete it via your Haloscan Menu if you want to).你做的,是張貼評論在您的博客上(後來刪除它通過您的Haloscan菜單如果您想要) 。 This will refresh the count and your old comments should show up like they used to - ie comments (3), or something like that.這將刷新計數和您的舊的評論應該表現出像他們用來-即評論( 3 ) ,或類似的東西。

Firstly you will note there are several deficiencies in the system including comments not showing up even after paying for it.首先你會注意到,有幾個缺點,該系統包括的評論沒有顯示,即使後支付。 But more importantly you are not informed upfront about the limitation of storing comments for only 4 months!但更重要的你是不是預先告知有關限制存放的評論,只有4個月! Check their FAQ or help to verify.檢查它們的常見問題解答或幫助,以核實。

What bugs me most is this defect and their cheeky response:我的錯誤是什麼,最重要的是這一缺陷和他們的cheeky回應:
"Anything over 80 threads will be counted as Zero in the comments link on your blog. The comments are still there, if you click the comments link they will pop up - it's just that they're counted as Zero. Dunno if this will be fixed any time soon." “任何超過80線程將被視為零,在評論鏈接,您的博客。意見仍然存在,如果你點擊鏈接,他們的意見,會彈出-這只是他們正在算作零。 d unno如果這將是固定的任何時間,盡快“ 。

Secondly the answers are way too geeky for average users and worse they manage to insult their users.第二,答案是太過乏味的平均用戶和管理差,他們侮辱他們的用戶。 Case in point:典型的例子:
"Hang on - the only people to leave me occasional comments are my insomniac brother and some assorted misfits. I've got nowhere near 80 threads and the counter is still Zero! WTF??" “坑上-唯一的人離開我偶爾的評論是我的i nsomniac的兄弟和一些配套m isfits,我已經得到無處近8 0線程和櫃檯仍是零! w tf? ” ?
