coComment V2 Beta Now Live!
coComment V2 Beta is now live! Please check it out. This is a major update of the service, including many new features, which we’ve been told makes coComment the most sophisticated conversation tracking tool out on the market.
In this process of transition to V2 Beta, we are working very hard to correct any unexpected bugs and provide you with as little interruption as possible. As this is the biggest upgrade to the product we’ve had thus far, we would appreciate your help with identifying and informing us of any issues or inconsistencies you may notice with the new version. Though we did as much pre-launch testing as possible, there may be some glitches that occur now that the new version is in production. We promise to do everything possible to fix the bugs immediately. PLEASE SEND ALL QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS TO: info@cocomment.com
If you’re looking for inspiration is checking out the new features we suggest to try the following:
1. MY COCOMMENT (Your personal page with overview of your conversations, your community and what’s hot in the conversational space)
2. MY CONVERSATIONS (Updates on your conversations and the ones from your friends, groups, favorites plus invitations sent by your buddies to join interesting conversation)
3. MY COMMUNITY (Your friends, groups, favorites, followers and conversational neighbors)
4. MY GROUPS (Starting point to share conversations by interest, only with selected people (private) or extend interactions for your audience)
5. SIDEBAR (Navigate efficiently from any one conversation to another)
6. COMMENT ANYWHERE (Start a conversation on any webpage, comment on and share with your community interesting information anywhere on the web)
Thanks for your support! We’re very excited to bring you these major improvements and upgrades!

I’m excited about this updated, but…
1) The forum is down. How are we supposed to report bugs/feedback?
2) There’s still no site blacklist option? What if I never want coComment to track comments on a specific site? (This is the case very often for me.)
3) I was really hoping that the My Conversations page would be much easier to use. Instead you’ve made it like a hundred times more complex! All I want to do is just track my conversations… I don’t want to join any communities, groups, whatever. Whatever happened to doing one thing and doing it well?
I’ve always been a fan of coComment, and I was expecting great things from this release, but these new “features” are a big disappointment.

The new thing is f*cking up when using the admin panel of Wordpress real bad. So bad that a lot of users is putting it away.

The old version was better for me. Now I can’t see all of my conversations on 1 page and I can’t see are there any new comments.
August 2nd, 2007 at 20:09
i hate to pile on the negative comments, but the “my conversations” page is a real disappointment.
1) the use of bold on every link is completely unusable.
2) there’s no way to tell — at a glance — which conversations have new comments. you have to look at the date column, then try to remember when you last visited your comments page.
3) i loved the accordian-type navigation. it allowed me to choose what i wanted to see. now i have to click through several pages to scan through old comment threads.
4) the change from blue to grey for unread/read is way too subtle. it took me far to long to figure it out — which was not helped by the fact that it didn’t work the first couple of times.
5) if you’re going to stick with paginating comments, you at least need to remember what page we came from when clicking to view a comment thread. if i’m on page three, click a thread, then click “back to my conversations” it should take me back to page three so i can continue skimming through comments.
6) the sidebar doesn’t really works. clicking “next” doesn’t do anything, and i don’t understand why my sidebar begins with 2 comments from april 3 and march 21.
i’m sorry to add this to the blog post, but, as Joshua Kaufman mentioned, the forums are still down. i’ll still be using the extension, but this redesign will not be calling my name to check in on my conversations very frequently.

[…] Ik gebruik al een tijdje cocomments om na te kunnen gaan of er nog anderen reageren op blogposts waar ik een reactie achter gelaten heb. Werkt niet altijd perfect, maar ik vind het een aardige aanvulling om bij te blijven. Welnu, ze hebben de service een nieuw jasje gegeven en wat nieuwe features. […]

The old design was better. V2 is real beta … it refuses to track my comments on many blogs … to post this reply i had to disable CoComment.

Just like the first firefox extension a year ago - the one now is a HUGE memory/processor leak.
Duplicate items in RSS feeds?
Slow site.
I hate to pile it on, but you lost me as a user again.
August 2nd, 2007 at 23:21
this is waaaaaay too beta for a public release. please switch back.

The accordion comments tracking and reading was much more friendly than the new system. I don’t think that the new features were worth the damage to the old features. Also, the extension needs to have a preferences panel that lets you turn on and off bits like the statusbar button or the in page floating “track this” button thing.
As for bugs, I’m seeing lots of auth bugs. I’m logged in but not if I open the sidebar or the floating button thing and sometimes other logged in/out weirdness.

Keeps losing my “logged-in” status, despite the fact that cookies exist; echo sentiments above re the “My conversations” page, and you are obviously having some traffic/capacity problems - forum is down with too many MySQL connections. I’ve heard lots of comments about the extension crashing Firefox - will admit I haven’t seen that myself yet, but it doesn’t look good.
coComment has been far and away my favourite FF extension, and I have persevered through earlier problems, but this is sstarting to hurt.

The “disable Cocomment on current page” and “blacklist” functions do not work. This is especially annoying because CoComment is screwing with my office homepage. So I have to disable the extension altogether, which is probably for the best, given all the frustration CoComment has caused me this week.
Thank goodness I’m going to be away from the computer for a while. If CoComment isn’t functioning properly by Tuesday, I’m shopping around with the competition. I’ve been a loyal coComment user for months, I’ve hyped it to my friends and I’ve really enjoyed the service, but this “beta” that’s been forced on all of us is a MESS. If you’re going to add “features” make sure the old ones still work before you release it!

I really really like this service. I really really want it to work. But I’m not too pleased with these changes.
cocomments.com no longer redirects to cocomment.com meaning that if you log in at one you aren’t logged into the other. I assume people who set their browsers to auto-remember the password will be similarly annoyed by this.
I’ve never used the plug-in, and I won’t start until it works on a whitelist (assume I don’t want coComment for the current page unless I specifically say “Enable coComment for this domain”)
Comments seem to submit to coComment just fine, but don’t go through to the site in many cases
the blue box in the top right now shows on all pages of my blog where I have coComment activated site wide. I will be de-activating it as a result.
I get updates in my RSS feed daily saying my account doesn’t exist
I’d suggest you just go back to the previous version, or somehow allow people to opt-in to V2 until it’s out of beta.

Maybe it would be good idea to give users ability to chose which version they want to use :>

sorry to pile on the negativity… but I agree with everyone up there. The old site really was a lot better/cleaner. And it seems to REALLY slow down my browser now…
sorry…

Please give back old version
