Comment Box change suggestion

digitalpins

Hello I love the new site and have figured everything out BUT one thing, I created a HTML page and added a comment box. One thing that customers or visitors would not like is the only way to leave a comment now is to login in using facebook or smugmug account. Lots of people wont like this because some dont like using Facebook to log into other websites or some may not have a Facebook account. And we all know everyone does not have a smugmug account. The older comment option was simple and easy.

My suggestion is to change back to the way it was or/add a captcha box to leave a comment just get rid of the FB login option, or you can leave that option but just dont make it mandatory.

i am sorry that you are not happy with the way require that comments can only be made when people "sign in". We no longer allow "anonymous" comments for your security and ours too. We really appreciate getting suggestions and comments from our users. We have a great tracking system that allows users to suggest features and other users can vote on them. Here is a link to the feedback site where you can make suggestions.

Thank you for your input.

Actually, there's more input & ideas about this going on here: http://dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=236590 which you may be missing. Also, the comments discussion has already gone on around here for a long time, as well as in the feedback site. I think everyone "up above" is already quite aware that most site-owners want the ability to decide for themselves about their own security, just like we do on most of the other sites we're on, such as FB, etc. There's no reason people couldn't be simply given the option to screen comments if they want it. If we're not adult enough to do that ourselves, then we're not adult enough to have a photo site.
