The same might be said for MediaWiki itself -- or of JavaScript, or CSS, or any of a dozen or so technologies involved! If this is for an archive, I would capture the HTML from a common browser rendering and save that instead. > I tested this DISQUS for several hours now... it dont seem to be very > practicable.

When I post a comment on our site, it shows up immediately. Try it if you like in our Sandbox page: http://www.EcoReality.org/wiki/Sandbox Do you have a reliable Internet connection? Sometimes when ours is slow, the comment won't show up until refreshing the page several times. But this is not a Disqus problem. ---------------- :::: I think our [energy] policy is called "aircraft carriers." -- Irwin Steltzer :::: Jan Steinman, EcoReality Co-op :::: _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
