Issues with Disqus Commenting System

Disqus is a commenting system which is being used by different sites. The usage of this system is very very easy. You just need to create a site/forum thru their Admin panel, specify the website URL where you need to use the Disqus system. You can put a universal code which simply declares a couple of Javascript variables and creates and adds a javascript file reference to the DOM - head tag. I tried but faced a couple of issues:

1. The Facebook Connect login does not work properly. Although it gets you authenticated to the Facebook but somehow the Disqus page does not consider you as a logged on user.
2. The Twitter login does not work as expected, especially on IE 8.

The reason could be some deprecated APIs still being used by the Disqus. I hope the Disqus team would be able to fix these critical issues as soon as possible so we can make the Disqus commenting system on our website.
