[...] Apparently it’s been preventing the comment box from popping up, amongst other glitches. [...]

Even I thought that Disqus will do well, however it failed to impress me and I decided to get rid of it too. I’m back at the normal comments of WordPress engine.

I think its best to use stock wordpress contact forms.

wow! that's a nice write up man. I was not sure that there were many other services apart from disqus and intensedebate.

Hey Bill, it definitely seems like that intensedebate is facing few issues like slowness and css issues. It sometimes also gives the problem while moderating the comments. However, I'm positive that it'll be one of the most used service on the internet as the amount of features it offers are really awesome

Well I can tell you at the moment I have put Intense Debate on Ice, I have had nothing but trouble since i installed it. I get plagued by spam and trying to sync up the wp comments data with I.D proved to be too much, my blog was very slow to load, the comments would take days to appear in I.D. In fact I even lost 2 or 3 comments and the spam sync was just as bad, also CommentLuv doesn’t work with I.Debate. I tried practically every tweak that I could find in the settings at I.Debate , but nothing worked

I have therefore gone back to my old setup for the moment, I think i will wait until they get a more stable version out.
