Livefyre is certainly by far my favorite commenting system, with its realtime comments, great social media integration, (e.g. with the ability to easily include a twitter “@name” in your comments). It definitely feels like the 2012 version of a commenting system, demonstrating how blog interaction should be.
Thankfully, Livefyre included me in the beta of their new version, and this blog should have the new upgraded v3 beta version below. Let’s go for a test run, shall we?
It looks very differently, but seems to work great.
Jens Loeffler Lookin’ good Jens, thanks for helping us out in the beta! If you ever need anything just give us a shout man, we’re here for ya!
JMattHicks will do, keep up the great work..
JMattHicks I think the share button under the comments doesn’t seem to work, at least for twitter.
Jens Loeffler Thanks for the heads up on that Jens, got our dev team checking it out now!
JMattHicks Also on Android the buttons have different sizes 😉
Is this the Livefyre 3? It looks the same…
@PFF I reverted back to v2, because the v3 skin looked so different. Will upgrade again at a later point.
Hm… Anyone have experience with both livefyre 3 and disqus 2012? I can’t decide.
What´s the livefyre bandwidth limit? Is there any? Cause I used this comment system in my blog but had to switch to another one, since it just stopped loading. I had about 2.200 comments per post.
Just testing the commenting system. Sorry for the spam. Looks great, I must say, clean – and you can change the css (something you can’t with disqus 2012). Ugly logo, though, but you can put it at the bottom of the comments with a few tweaks. To swith from disqus? Hmmm.
AlemSabic I think it’s definitely worth switching – very easy to setup, and it’s a lot more real-time in my opinion.

Don Coringone I would ask livefyre directly, they are super responsive to issues – they had some issues a couple of weeks ago (probably when you posted this), but since then it’s stable at least for me.
Jens Loeffler Don Coringone Livefyre will show the first 50 comments, and then another 50 at a time as the reader clicks on the “show more” button. It would take a bit of time to see all 2,200 on your post, but they can also toggle back and forth between the newest and oldest comments as well. If you have more questions, let me know.
Jens Loeffler PFF Back on V3 btw – the new version went live.
Jens Loeffler PFF How can I switch to V3? My Livefyre is V2 yet…
PFF Jens Loeffler Do you use the latest wordpress plugin?
Jens Loeffler PFF Yes. 3.17.

I’ve thought a few times about changing comments from WordPress to Livefyre. However, I haven’t taken the plunge yet.Does Livefyre have any functionality like the CommentLuv plugin for WordPress?
HCG Diet No it does not. But it has the option to show your latest post when you post comments on other blogs which are using livefyre comment system.
price Yes i have also seen that.
Livefyre comments 3 beta is good commenting system I real like live-fyre

Hi meghankrane, it looks like all the comments are gone here. Any idea why that could be?
Jens Loeffler Hi Jens, Not sure what is going on. Our Support Team will be able to look into it further, they are on the case and will be in touch shortly.
Hey Jens Loeffler, you told meghankrane that comments were missing…but they look all there to me! 😉
Sorry about the snag there earlier, it looks like there was minor hiccup, but I’ve corrected that from our end and you’re good to go my friend. Thanks for bringing it to our attention, and please shout if you ever need anything else!
LFJeremy Jens Loeffler meghankrane sweet, thanks. yes, it was missing for at least 24 hours (it had the comment count, but the actual comments were missing). Great it got resolved – keep up the excellent support.
Jens Loeffler LFJeremy meghankrane Thanks again Jens 🙂 And you can count on it!
