Disqus identifier issues

On October, 21th 2011, the format of both disqus_identifier and disqus_url were changed, to fix an issue with importing from Wordpress sites, already using Disqus which broke the comments for some people:

In source/_includes/_disqus.html

    var disqus_identifier = '{{ site.url }}{{ page.url }}';
    var disqus_url = '{{ site.url }}{{ page.url }}';

was replaced with

    var disqus_identifier = '{{ canonical }}';
    var disqus_url = '{{ canonical }}';

Today (November, 1st), I reverted that change so all Disqus comments so far will work again. Please note, that this might break your comment threads for those eleven days, where the patch was applied. Also, if you're already working with the new identifiers and wand to keep them, you'll have to patch your Octopress blog yourself.

I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, but as far as I know, there is no other way to fix this on Disqus' side.
