tech help on comments!
I am experiencing some difficulties with Haloscan comments.
Haloscan displays comments fine on the first page, but when you go to "older posts," it appears as if there are no comments on the posts, which is not the case. In order to see the comments, the user must click on the post title to go to the individual link for the post to find that there are actually comments. This is a misfortune considering my blog is based around the answers in the comments.
Have you heard of this before? What can I do to fix this? Or even better yet, how do I migrate back to blogger based comments?
I initially set up haloscan so we could post links and photos, but that doesn't seem as important anymore with the direction the site has headed.
Thanks for your participation and help!
All the best,
Marc

author note
I was recently asked, "how does answering a question [on this site] improve my life?"
One participant put it nicely, "it is actually some cool thought provoking questions that are meant to stimulate and improve our mental processes and I can hardly wait to track back and read some more of these questions."
The questions may or may not improve your life, they may improve another's in some way different from you, someone may get a date out of it? Who knows? I'm just trying to ask questions to make people think about themselves and what's around them - it creates a forum for that sort of information. Then we the readers get to see the world through so many different little peepholes.
The site probably isn't going to improve your life in conventional ways like make you shed 20 lbs or cure diseases or give you as much energy as a cup of coffee, but it does aim high!
So... how does this site improve your life?

A New Day, A New Blog!
Welcome to The Center for Improved Living Blog! This blog will hopefully make life just a bit more interesting.
Here's how this works:
Everyday, I will post a different action for you to do. All you have to do is post your response in the comment section of the action. You can complete any action at any time. That's it - no gimmicky bullshit, just pure curiosity and excitement.
Soon, I hopefully will have the answer to being able to post images and video in the comments section so we can realize much more visual projects. But in the meantime they will be text based.
The Center for Improved Living is the sister site to ineedtostopsoon.
