Taken from the Disqus Blog.
Disqus makes it easy for people to add color to content across 3 million websites around the world. And each day, millions of users contribute through comments, replies, upvotes and follows about thousands of topics and interests.
Today, we’re announcing new features and changes to our notifications that make it easier for people to track their conversations and better engage with site content on an ongoing basis. Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll start seeing this week.
Rapid Comment Replies
Since everyone likes quick and easy, you can now reply to comments directly inline.
Upvote Alerts
Now you’ll get notified when you receive an upvote from another person. No need to manually re-check a comment for interactions.
Followers
You’ll now receive notifications of new followers and have the ability to follow back immediately. Need a reminder of why following is cool?
Filtering
To cut down on clutter, you are also able to easily filter notifications to view just replies by clicking the ‘Replies’ tab on the top navigation.
You can find these new features by clicking on the notifications bubble at the top-right of any English language commenting embed while logged in. A new Disqus sidebar should be revealed on the right of your screen.
You can also find these new notifications in the Notifications tab in your Disqus home feed:

The new notifications is much nicer. good job!
ReplyDeleteIs there a way I can disable the "upvote" notification? I would much rather only get one when I have an actual response. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, Disqus is still terrible for users.
ReplyDeleteI'm not hating, I have plenty of valid reasons, but I won't go into detail unless someone wants me to. All I'm saying is that Disqus is quite frankly developing their systems at the slowest speed I've ever seen someone do with this kind of dominance, and their system offers way too little tools for us in order to an actual intelligent conversation in normal ways. I find myself often not commenting to avoid the system rather than commenting. And having checked with others on the Internet, I am not alone.
So while I will say "Great! Thanks!" for any new features we do get, the list of what we don't yet have is overwhelming and can discourage conversations entirely.
I don't think that's possible. I would recommend contact disqus and leave your feedback. I agree that would be a good option to have.

If enough people suggest it then they are normally very responsive to feedback.
i lie how they are improving things. Everything is nicer.
ReplyDeleteIKR!? Thats my only issue with it!
ReplyDeleteHey @omabin, there isn't an option to disable upvote notifications at the moment. The team is reading all the feedback we're receiving and we appreciate you taking the time to share yours.
