Look it does have an import feature I thought, but I just read it and saw that it says 'replace' not replace and import'... Good thing I clicked the right option..

But to be fair you could import them and then do as I did just add Disqus to the end of all posts, that way all new comments are in Disqus format.

I know talking to Daniel yesterday they are addressing these issues. Definitely raise it in the forum as this will improve your issue in the priority list as I imagine you are not the only one.

Yeah bringing my comments from Disqus back into my WordPress comment system would be trivial. I want all my comments to be in Disqus, though. I'm waiting for the Disqus import feature so that I can have no comments in WordPress at all (even prior to Disqus being around).

Disqus should have both and import feature and an admin feature to cleanup problems like the one I have in the future.

Actually Luke I think there is a fairly simple way for you to work around this, you could go to phpadmin and do a find an replace of the domain name and then import them into this site and as long as you don't have Disqus set to replace comments it should not even notice them and you will have all your comments.

I am not very good with database stuff but once two years ago I had to do something like this and it was a challenge but I made it and it was a domain change too…

PS. Disqus does have an export feature so you could export your original comments and prior to the import of old posts import those into the old data (mash it up) and then do the import…

CRAZY EH?

Right now, Disqus recognizes posts by URL. Since I changed my domain name, it thinks all my posts are new and completely different. A lot of people are starting to complain about this actually so I'm going to try and get them to merge them.
Also, Disqus doesn't have an import feature yet so I can't even play around that way =/

Hi Luke

I guess Disqus is helping to connect users already as that is how I met you.

Love your site but I can only see a handful of posts, why don’t you import all your old ones too?

If you go to http://nic.tld where tld is the top level domain (ex: io) then you can usually buy there. So I went to http://nic.st to get this. It cost 50 bucks.
