   I've just installed Disqus, it works fine except it interfered with the post ticker on the front page and displayed an error message relating to this part of the code:

   <script type="text/javascript">
       // <![CDATA[
           var disqus_shortname = '<?php echo strtolower(get_option('disqus_forum_url')); ?>';
           var disqus_domain = '<?php echo DISQUS_DOMAIN; ?>';
           (function () {
               var nodes = document.getElementsByTagName('span');
               for (var i = 0, url; i < nodes.length; i++) {
                   if (nodes[i].className.indexOf('dsq-postid') != -1) {
                       nodes[i].parentNode.setAttribute('data-disqus-identifier', nodes[i].getAttribute('rel'));
                       url = nodes[i].parentNode.href.split('#', 1);
                       if (url.length == 1) { url = url[0]; }
                       else { url = url[1]; }
                       nodes[i].parentNode.href = url + '#disqus_thread';
                   }
               }
               var s = document.createElement('script'); s.async = true;
               s.type = 'text/javascript';
               s.src = 'http://' + disqus_domain + '/forums/' + disqus_shortname + '/count.js';
               (document.getElementsByTagName('HEAD')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('BODY')[0]).appendChild(s);
           }());
       //]]>
       </script>

   I fixed it by ticking the option to output the Javascript in the footer. All good. But now when I browse the said on my iPhone, the post ticker has stopped functioning. There's no error message, it just doesn't display correctly.

   Any ideas? I'm not sure if this is a Safari-related issue but I'd imagine it's not.

   I'm having the same problem, it's a Disqus issue. Did you ever get this figured out? There's a supposedly an option to load the script in the footer but I can't find it.
