disqus theme clash

[earaya]

Erik,

I really like your theme. I'm having problems with Disqus, however. Most of the text is rendered white and is thus unreadable. I know the styles are set by Disqus, but I was hoping you could point me the right direction.

Thanks,
Esteban

+1, same problem for me.

I have noticed the same thing on my blog.
I had to deactivate the Disqus 2012 additions to be able to "fix" the CSS issues.

@pacbard can you explain what you have done ? On Disqus ? On your site ?
Thanks

Go to your website's Disqus settings: http://yoursite.disqus.com/admin/settings/
The first option you will see is

Disqus 2012 "Enable Disqus 2012 features for your site." I unchecked it and the comments fixed themselves. They even follow the theme's colors.

If you want to customize them more, you can use a custom CSS sheet here: http://yoursite.disqus.com/admin/settings/appearance/ (at the very bottom of the page)

There is also a more detailed guide on Disqus

@pacbard thanks, it works perfectly

@pacbard Thanks
@earaya I'll try to hack something together to make it work with the 2012 Disqus features as well.

I finally got to upgrade the disqus to 2012.
I changed the "Auto" setting to "Light Background" and it looks ok..

That's in Settings -> Appearance -> Color Scheme
