So, Disqus did another upgrade overnight, and it appears that some Firefox users lost the ability to comment for awhile, though functionality now seems to be back. My apologies for the inconvenience.
I know the threads look weird; they got rid of our old theme during the update, about which I wasn't notified in advance. I'm working on trying to figure out how to increase the font size for better readability now.
One new feature of note: If you "reply" to a comment in a thread, it will now indicate it on your comment. Example here. (Although, at the moment, the "jump to original comment" link doesn't seem to be working properly, which I'll mention to Disqus.)
I'll also take a moment to mention (since every time they're mentioned in comments there are people who are surprised to discover them!) a couple of other Disqus features: At the top of each thread, there's a dropdown menu that allows you to sort the order of comments to your preference. (It defaults to Oldest First.) Beside it, there are links which allow you to subscribe to an individual thread by email or RSS. And at the bottom of the thread, there is a "sharing" option, which enables you to share the thread on Twitter, Facebook, and Yahoo.
Happy commenting!
