    Hi

    I've just updated to iOS 8 and I've found that I am now unable to post against a any of the articles on the site through the Toucharcade App.

    If I try I get a long wait followed by:

    "Error
    There was an error posting your comment.

    Error code: 18
    Invalid argument. 'remote_auth': Invalid message sent. please see http://disqus.com/Apo/so/ for more information."

    If I go to the settings and log out and then log in again I get a log wait followed by:
    "Login Error
    TouchArcade was unable to log you into Disqus. You can still use your Wish List and post on the forums."

    Have you checked that posting on forums part still works? Fingers crossed it's not totally broke.

    Another valid reason not to update and lose my jailbreak.

    It seems to be okay in the forum. It's just posting against the news articles and reviews that gets the error.

    As other people don't seem to have any problems I'll try setting up a brand new account to see if that works. If you see a dancj posting here then that'll be why.

    same here, i'm logged in as vicsark in the forums, but am unable to post a comment in the news through TA app (ios 8, same error codes)
    Maybe it's a problem on Disqus side?

    I've just tried setting up a new account and it's made no difference.

    It looks like I'll have to wait and see if the app gets updated to fix it.

    Yeah, for me it just says it can't log me into disqus. I'm not getting notifications anymore, either (iOS 8).

    For some reason I am indeed getting notifications now, and after merging my accounts on Disqus I am not getting the can't log into Disqus error. However, I am getting the Error 18 now which is mentioned above. Drat.

    I'm not on iOS 8, and I have started to get notifications on News & Reviews. I'm on iOS 7 still, so I don't know why it's started doing it for me. Anyway, I do have Wish List and PM notifications on and those seem to be working correctly.

    On another note, why don't we use DISQUS in the app? When I post a comment on an article on my iPhone it is through my TA account, but when I post on my computer I have to use DISQUS. Makes no sense. I'd rather just use one account for both places, but it seems that each forces us to use a different account.

    Yeah, that is a little confusing.

    It might be something I have wrong in settings, but when I subscribe to a forum board in the app, I don't get e-mail notification of replies. But this particular thread, I must have subscribed to on my computer, because I do get replies.

    Meanwhile, on the articles on the app, I get notification via Disqus.

    I'm okay with using two accounts really, but I definitely like to get notified of replies. Otherwise I dno if someone is talkin to me!

    Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Disqus is slow and flakey and a general pain in the arse.

    I'm getting that error 18 thing again now if I try to post into the article comments from the app.

    Also, if I subscribe to forum threads, like this one, from within the app, I'm not notified of replies. If I subscribe outside the app, I am emailed replies.
