Obviously you haven’t dealt with comment spamming with the WP comment system.
Does anyone know how to import wordpress comments into Haloscan … my comments section takes ages to post just one comment (even on a fast connection) and I want to make a break to Haloscan but don’t ant to lose the comments I have so far … is there any way at all to do this?
Or, alternatively, does anyone know the way to get the WordPress comments in a pop up box WITHOUT the main page logo also being in the pop up – I managed to get it working as a pop up box but it included the main page logo, which was far too big for it an therefore took ages to load and didn’t even fit. There was also loads of other text stuff in there that I didn’t want – all I want is the comments and the name of the person who posted it, etc – not all the other stuff that automatically seems to be there. I can’t seem to find the template file that alters this kindof stuff.
Any help would be greatly appreiated.

I’m looking, but even on my 1meg line your page is taking AGES to load.
Optimise your images
Reduce the images
And you have not got popup comments activated – please do so if that is where the problem lies.
As far as i can tell the page doesn’t take ages to load … it’s the comments that take a long time. There are a lot of images on the page but they have all been reduced and none of them are very big at all.
Anyway, now I have transferred everything to Haloscan and all I need to do now is to switch the wordpress comments off – I have already deleted them all and all I need to do is to stop it from saying ‘No comments yet’. Is ther any way I can do this easily?
It’s starting todrive me a little bit crazy here.
