Assaf - you got all my details right here, except you aren’t getting my name right, which is one major detail wrong right off the bat.

David, let’s do this by e-mail. I want to figure out how to solve this problem, but I’m travelling right now, e-mail would be a easier. Can you e-mail me the details and I’ll check the server logs?

Hey TDavid, thanks for linking. cocomment.com has some site requirements in javascript that I haven’t had time to implement in order to get my site working with their service. Actually, I did implement it once upon a time and it didn’t seem to work, and I never chased it any further.

I’ve seen the same thing with co.mments, and chalked it up to the “not logged in” syndrome — correctly or not I’m not sure. I wish there was a bookmarklet option of some sort that would disable the anonymous feature. Maybe a different script for that case, Assaf?\

For cross-platform development, I use Samba to access UNIX drives from Windows. Source archives are kept on the UNIX drive, and a build on either platform will optionally extract updates (using a cross-platform version of PVCS).

For web development, though, I’m afraid I still use good ole FTP. That is, when I’m not still publishing via FrontPage (ugh!).

Assaf - maybe I’m not being clear here, sorry. I know how to login and I am pretty sure I was logged in all this time. When I visit co.mments I see “welcome back tdavid” so that tells me I’m logged in and yet for the past few weeks all the conversations have in fact not been added to my account and I can’t use it everywhere. I suggest running an audit on my account and seeing what activity is there.

If you only show the two comments threads I’ve bookmarked then something went wrong. One of those two threads is from yesterday — this thread. That isn’t accurate considering I’ve bookmarked at least a dozen threads over the same period of time at cocomment. What I’ve done is click both bookmarklets in the toolbar. If I’m not logged in then your system should report back clearly — “not logged in” — so that the user realizes they need to login to have this tracked.

Hopefully this is more clear, yes/no?

It turns out a lot of people don’t want to bother setting up and account and log in. So for the past two weeks, we’ve been running with this feature and collecting feedback from users. If you have an account and are logged in, all the conversations are added to your account, and you can use it anywhere.

If you don’t have an account, or don’t login, all the conversations are still tracked based on your browser. You can only view them from your browser, when you are logged off. It turns out to be quite a useful feature.

Hi Assaf - if the error was because I wasn’t logged in then why would the bookmarklet be returning the message that it has “successfully” tracked the conversation? Tracked it for who and why? And no, I’m talking about the web, not the RSS feed.

It is tracking this thread good though
