Update: I fixed the dissever past times adding a ascendancy inward the HTML source that re-internationalizes the canonical URLs that are served to Disqus. What should convey been canonical is canonical i time again in addition to the global TRF community is reunited. ;-) That's why I moved this weblog post service to the past.Either Disqus, the world's summit spider web commenting fellowship that has been running the platform for discussions on this weblog for several years (after I migrated from Haloscan/JS-Kit/Echo past times a hard process), or Blogger, a fellowship inside Google, has changed something inward the vogue how the URLs are transferred inward betwixt the 2 servers.
Consequently, every bit John Gsheep has pointed out (although a flake to a greater extent than mysteriously than this weblog says), all the comments posted to i national edition of this weblog are invisible to the visitors of all other national editions correct now. The work has existed for i day. Is at that spot a vogue to run across the comments past times swain members of the TRF community again, or convey nosotros been segregated into decoupled national cliques past times dozens of Fe curtains?
The canonical create (already mentioned inward 2012) is to purpose the top dog i.e. American edition of this weblog whose URL is
motls.blogspot.com/ncr/ (green desktop)Note that when people exterior the U.S. opened upwards a weblog inward the blogspot.com domain, e.g. this one, it gets unremarkably redirected to the national edition such every bit motls.blogspot.co.uk (the Britons convey the sec most of import domain) or motls.blogspot.cz (which I unremarkably see) or i of the hundred or in addition to hence other national editions.
motls.blogspot.com/ncr/?m=1 (mobile)
However, when y'all purpose the URL alongside "blogspot.com" in addition to add together "/ncr" to the URL (which stands for "no solid pose down redirect"), y'all volition popular off along on using the American *.com edition of the weblog fifty-fifty if you're exterior the U.S. You volition remain at blogspot.com in addition to solely the "/ncr" disappears inward the URL when you're speedily redirected. If y'all desire to know, Americans and/or the native *.com visitors (almost the same groups) stand upwards for almost precisely 50% of the TRF traffic.
This "nationalized" conduct of the blogspot.com blogs (and other Google pages) has been adopted simply about 5 years ago. Google made it possible to localize national legal problems alongside the content to the "small editions" which I consider a skilful thought because countries where the liberty of vocalism communication isn't considered a skilful thought at to the lowest degree don't impairment the users inward civilized countries likewise much. (Google explicitly calls it selective censorship.)
So I kindly enquire everyone exterior the U.S. who expects the commons heavily international discussions we're used to to alter the bookmarks to the "blogspot.com/ncr/" format. The residuum of the URL should remain unchanged.
Maybe the alter volition last reverted. But perchance it won't.
If individual could discovery a vogue to create the Blogger HTML template in addition to hence that the default, international, i.e. American URL alongside *.com is used every bit an identification globally again, I would last grateful.
Note that the Disqus intelligence threads are ever embedded every bit "iframes" (a argue why the Mathjax LaTeX mathematics can't last used inward the comments). If y'all sentiment the source of a Disqus frame e.g. inward a Czech edition of the blog, y'all volition realize that the frame has URL
view-source:http://disqus.com/embed/comments/?base=default&version=85ba7336856f5be9db0e468752c2dad5&f=thereferenceframe&t_u=http%3A%2F%2Fmotls.blogspot.cz%2F2016%2F03%2Fweinbergs-deconstruction-of-measurement.html&t_d=The%20Reference%20Frame%3A%20Weinberg%27s%20%22deconstruction%20of%20the%20measurement%22%20isn%27t%20wrong%20but%20it%27s%20pointless&t_t=The%20Reference%20Frame%3A%20Weinberg%27s%20%22deconstruction%20of%20the%20measurement%22%20isn%27t%20wrong%20but%20it%27s%20pointless&s_o=descYes, y'all tin opened upwards Disqus comment iframes separately every bit whole pages, without my master copy weblog post. ;-) If y'all supersede one *.cz past times *.com inward the URL, the American/global comments reappear in addition to hence it's all nearly this i incorrect suffix.
You run across that the incorrect national suffix *.cz is served through the declaration t_u, which is decisive inward segregating the national discussions, in addition to it gets copied to diverse variables that y'all may run across inward the JavaScript source of the DISQUS frame. This is the example despite the fact that I attempt to feed Disqus alongside all the "canonical" URLs which way those containing the American motls.blogspot.com.
Even though I exercise similar the thought of the class national domains, every bit I mentioned, the segregation of the Disqus threads is a serious plenty glitch in addition to hence that I similar a shot changed my ain bookmarks from *.cz to *.com/ncr.
Here y'all convey a random Disqus care page nearly the dissever threads in addition to missing comments. I recollect that the identification of the threads ever depends on "url", non "identifier", but it's been misbehaving for a day. (Disqus would prefer people to purpose "identifier", but things may larn to a greater extent than complicated if y'all require to build in addition to invent novel identifiers for weblog posts etc.)
Update I: I convey verified that the regression is due to changes at Disqus. The HTML source makes it clear that Blogger is serving the prissy canonical *.com addresses everywhere. Disqus simply manages to ignore those settings in addition to extract the blogspot.cz URL from another, unconstitutional place.
Update II: I would swear the previous paragraph was correct a infinitesimal ago. But now, the source of a HTML weblog shows the URLs alongside *.cz fifty-fifty though they're obtained from the Blogger variables alongside "canonical" inward it... See e.g. the outrageous line
var disqus_blogger_canonical_homepage_url = "http://motls.blogspot.cz/";in the source. So it's simply about bad alter of variables at the Blogger side! If they prevented me from using canonical variables alongside *.com, it would last to a greater extent than probable that Google has truly made the dissever deliberately. That's harsh.
Update III: I works life a Blogger forum asking where simply about other user has noticed that the canonical variables convey disappeared at Blogger. He or she is told to switch to "prevent redirect". I am in all probability going to exercise so, too. Also, Disqus' Twitter makes it clear that Disqus realizes that Blogger started to serve split-inducing URLs to Disqus.
Update IV: I made my ain solution – added 2 lines to the HTML source of TRF which restores the canonical, *.com course of written report of the variables called "canonical". Search for .replace inward the comments or inward the "view source" of this page. This returned the conduct every bit of days ago, in addition to you're encouraged to purpose the national editions of the weblog posts hither again.
