Yeah, same thing happened to me. Looked like it didn’t work, popped open a browser tab and immediately closed it but then when I refreshed this page... it asked me to do the kinja display name, yadda yadda.

Apparently, it just LOOKS like it doesn’t work, but as soon as you try to comment, it ... works.

Merging my Disqus and Kinja accounts doesn’t work. Also, the site is ugly and soulless, like Gawker. I’m pretty sad about this whole thing. :(

Same thing happened to me. Basically I did that a billion times, then came back to this post and it’d logged me into my AV Club Disqus account. See if that works? Try an incognito window?

(It does really fuckin’ suck.)

Well, I did the “Claim your account” thing and it took me to a Disqus page, then the browser just closed. Am I verified? I fucking hate this already.
