The Guardian has changed its comment system – moving from a client-side system to a server-side one.
With the old system, once you loaded a page, some javascript would go off and look up the comments and display them. This wasn’t terribly accessible – if you couldn’t or didn’t run javascript, you couldn’t see the comments. It was also bad for SEO, as search engines couldn’t run the javascript. And if your mobile didn’t run javascript (like mine), you couldn’t read the comments either.
