--- WHY CHOOSE DISQUS? HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DISQUS COMMENT SYSTEM ---
Web comments can be difficult for both websites and their readers. We think Disqus is the solution. Disqus makes it easier for people to comment and track their contributions on a single profile which they can display as a comment blog. After all, there is no difference between a great comment and a great published article.
Disqus makes managing discussions on one or multiple websites painless. With a powerful and intuitive admin interface, Disqus allows website owners to spend time elsewhere while Disqus takes care of the comments.

Works flawlessly on 1.5. Any word on a 1.6 release date? Kinda waiting on you guys to deploy :)
I don't yet know the impact this will have on my site, but super A plus for being lightning fast to install (after registering with disqus first). Hopefully this will be the magic solution to the long fought "commenting in joomla" war.
This is a great extension and sadly only lacking in one thing - the ability to accept certain comments before they are displayed, i.e. ones from sources other than users registered with Disqus. This is the only reason I didn't give it 'Excellent!'
It isn't the easiest thing to get to work but when you do it's outstanding!! Beats the old commenting systems hands down! A professional service right on your site.. What could make your site better!!
Thank you! Great work!
Thank you! Great work!
I was impressed with this plugin until I had issues with using SEF URL's and showing the number of comments made on an article. I read up on the issue in the JoomlaWorks forum, but the posts weren't helpful. I've switched to using RokComments with Disqus and I have not had the same issue.
"Yahoo sign in" feature has been added to disqus comment by Disqus.com developers. People can sign in disqus through their Yahoo accounts.
When do you think adding this new feature to joomla disqus plugin?
Thanks.

You will have to enable this is Disqus settings ;)
This is a fantastic plugin. Top marks to JoomlaWorks. Would be even better if I could work out how to import my old JomComment comments to Disqus? If you're reading this and know how, drop me a line!
I like it, the way it looks and works but weak point is i still cant find the documentation so had to rnd myself..
I've been using the first version for a while, on a limited basis. I was very happy with it's ease of use and implementation but the single biggest downfall was not having the ability to turn on comments based on categories/sections/pages etc. The new version now allows selection by either category or menu item. This was the last piece of the puzzle to make this a first class plugin. Disqus/Facebook/Twitter login options work seamlessly. The only issue I had was with uninstalling the previous version. I had to manually delete the old directory in order to complete the upgrade.
Sign up for a Disqus account and give this plugin a try. It's simple and well worth it.
