Disappearing comments on Tumblr blogs
Tumblr recently changed the permalink URLs on everyone’s blog.
For example, this permalink URL:
http://obscurelyfamous.com/post/35650013/
is now structured like this:
http://obscurelyfamous.com/post/35650013/i-always-get-this-same-sidebar-ad-im-a-little/
Since Disqus uses a page’s permalink URL as the comment thread identifier, this change breaks the association of a blog post with its comment thread.
We are working on getting this resolved. Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused and thank you for your patience.
[UPDATE] Jason @ Disqus: Hi, we’ve just rolled out a fix which fixes part of the problem. This will be completely fixed by the end of the day.
