As Liss mentioned recently, we were forced to upgrade to Disqus' most recent version of their commenting platform. Along with that upgrade came a myriad of issues that we've been working on trying to resolve, and it has been challenging to say the least.
One of those issues was the inability to see any comments when viewing Shakesville on a mobile device due to some conflict between Disqus and Blogger's mobile templates. To resolve this, I had to disable the blog's use of mobile templates. Consequently, the blog will now look the same way it does when viewed on a desktop browser on a PC, and the Disqus comments are live and visible. As many of you discovered, you were able to leave comments from a mobile device, but they were not integrated with the rest of the comments. Everything is now fully integrated.
Important Note: If you had previously bookmarked Shakesville on your mobile device, it's possible the link was saved as "http://www.shakesville.com/?m=0". The site will not work properly with that link, i.e. you won't see comments. I would remove the link and re-bookmark to www.shakesville.com. That will redirect to the right location and everything should work fine on your mobile device at that point.
Thanks, everyone, for your patience and understanding while we work out the rest of the issues.
