Can't log in (old-style) to comments at all. Fuck Disqus. Ditto.

Hell of a day for Disqus to fuck up.

I got on fine; I offered a tenner to anyone who kicks Eddie Redmayne in the nuts.

I don't know if you have an AVC-specific account, I know that CaliCheeseSucks who apparently works at Disqus has mentioned the issue to someone there but otherwise everyone's been forced into making a Disqus account.

Hell of a day to take away AVC accounts. Supposing they've actually gone now, I realise it's been pushed about but no specifics on when or even if.

I also can't log in with an AVC account. I am so far resisting converting to Disqus. I guess I will if I HAVE to?

Right now, "do it anyway" seems like the smart action. Just don't like losing all those upvotes and a three year old account.

I have a Disqus account too but at this point I figure if I log in with that, I'll never get my AV Club account back.

I have not had that issue, I mean I did test by logging out of both and they seem to still be distinct entities.

I can log in from the main page, it shows me as signed in, but when I go down to the comment box it says "Login" and takes me around in circles.

It used to do that if I kept a tab open for over an hour. But since Tuesday, it's all the time.

The same thing is happening to me. Sigh. I do have a Disqus account that I set up when The Dissolve started (RIP), but I ended up rarely commenting on that site, and I'n not even sure how to access it on AV Club (it doesn't help that my name there is also MarkInTexas). I've been giving some serious thought to moving my holiday special review series that I normally post at What's On Tonight over here to the TV section. If this situation isn't resolved, this will give me even more incentive to do so (especially since I won't have to wait up till midnight to post them if I want anyone to see them).

Came here to complain about the same login issues, turns out this time I'm not alone. I'll keep trying, but if it just doesn't work I might just go back the way I started, as a lurker reading others' comments and keeping quiet about my own thoughts. I think I made over 9.500 comments, that's enough.

Day three of not being able to log in there, either (same issue that PET's having: logged in according to the main page and icon at top of article, comments section says I'm not). I'm going through withdrawal! But I don't want to part with my AVC account.

After I broke down and created a new Disqus account, now I can log in with my AVC account again.

Folks! Just on a hunch, I turned off my adblocker for the AVC site, and it's letting me log in with my AVC account. I'll let you know if I learn anything further.
Further info. I have turned it back on, and can still open different pages, upvote and comment. I suspect I may have to do this each time I close and re-open the site.

I did the same, seems it is okay with some fixes for being able to upvote and reply in the sidebar but yeah, will have to see if that persistent logging out bug is still a thing.

This may not actually be the result of AVC or disqus skullduggery. The reason I tried this is that some other sites had not been letting me open such things as some flash driven items, and other stuff, since the most recent Windows 10 upgrade. I had these symptoms for multiple browsers and sites, so I suspect, in my case at least, windows as the culprit.

I ended up logging in at one point last week with my never-used Disqus account (created for The Dissolve, I guess?) just to see if it would work and it seemed like it did. However, as of this morning I'm automatically logged back in with my regular AVC account, so... problem solved?

Hulu is such a piece of shit, I never use it. But their shittiness reaches out beyond their own site.
As I have mentioned, AVC is inexplicably blocked on my work computer network (inexplicable because of the many similar things that are not blocked, like the Onion). I have a work laptop that is logged into an outside wireless system but is still under IT control, so I can view AVC but only through Internet Explorer without AdBlock. I'm used to the banner ads, but every time an ad for Hulu comes up the entire window freezes. The moment the banner cycles away from Hulu, the window functions normally. What a piece of garbage.

Those of us still feverishly holding on to our AVClub accounts know that for some time, you haven't been able to upvote or reply to comments made to you while viewing them in your notifications window. But just today I've discovered you can no longer report users. A sexbot has followed me and there's no way to report it.
