Well, that was an interesting experiment, but we’ve switched back to internal WP comments. We did enable threading. Thanks for your patience with us.

==========================================
We have moved the comments over to the cool, THREADED, comments system at INTENSE DEBATE, written by the same wonderful people who wrote wordpress, the platform this site runs on.Â
You do not HAVE to create a new login in order to enter comments, but you get a bunch of neat features at ID if you do. Â The new system includes open-id login, gravitars, threading, reply-by-email, rss feeds for individual posts, and a bunch more. Â
We hope you enjoy it.Â

When will the totally unusable River Wars web site ever funciton…it's been TWO years. The stupid PHP thing from world press simply doesn't work. Is there any word on when the next in the series is going to come out?
RIvers site is being re-directed to here.
The old site with the Rivers snippets will _not_ be re-activated.
The next book will be out from BAEN not from Del Rey, and it will be _at least_ two years from now.
Why? Well, among other things, it would be nice if he could arrange a re-release of the first two, but DR still has the rights…
So, I'm afraid waiting is in order.

Sorry I've enjoyed supplying comments but I'm not prepared to have my details entered onto a US database.
well, of course, you don't have to, you can comment without logging in, it's just that logging in gives you more new spiffy features.

I am not registered. Only one of my four (I think) comments has become visible to me, the most recent posted four days ago.
The forthcoming section is very out of date. There is no useful information left.
Any news on when the next Safehold book will start snippetting? Publication is/was supposed to be later this year, so I'm somewhat surprised it hasn't started already. I need a fresh Safehold fix!!!!
If I have Javascript off, I get the old commenting system, and no one sees my comments.
The comments made from the old commenting system do not show up when you have intense debate running.
(like this one)
Or perhaps not this particular instance
I am a HUGE fan of the 1632 series and world. Always eagerly waiting for the next book to come out. Trying to find hardbacks of the first two, etc. BUT…the latest installment "1635 The Dreeson Incident" is BORING BORING BORING!!!!! What in the world were you thinking? The first three quarters of the book was a cross between a day time soap opera and the the Old Testament chapters of who "begat" who!!! I had to force myself to keep reading to hopefully get to something relevant and interesting and exciting. The last few chapters about dealing with the anti-semitism problem in the Germanies were interesting, but almost seemed abridged to finish the book. What little action present, was just mentioned in passing. I realized every book can't be as great as "The Baltic War" or "Canon Law", but PLEASE…..keep the soap opera to a minimum!!!!
So … why the change back? By the way, the comment I posted for the current snippet of Stormy Red Sky disappeared in the move.
I liked the Intense system. I’m also curious to know why the change back.
Change back because the amount of spam leaking through the ID system was unbelievable.
I was having to handle 20 to 50 spam comments a day, and I was missing REAL comments in the process. For some reason, even though they’re operated by the same company, IntenseDebate failed to properly implement the Akismet filter.
So, back we go. — and I liked it too.

To the webwizard,
Where is the create/register account button?
I’m in Firefox on a Windows XP box.
My goal is to read Eric’s blog. Does one
exist? If so, do you want regular readers to even
have account or just view as guest?
Beautiful Website!
