UTM link descriptors break comments?
It seems that if you use UTM links (for example with Google Analytics) to track where a visitor came from or to track ad-campaigns, this confuses ID. For example, if you go to http://kellyreardon.dyndns.org/kelly/... there is a test comment there from me, but if you go to http://kellyreardon.dyndns.org/kelly/... (a link from a tweet with the link) the comment doesn't show up. This is a deal breaker if it isn't a known issue...

Inappropriate?Well, I discovered a fix of this to a point. I'm using MovableType, so I simply changed where the ID Javascript appeared and hard-coded the idcomments_post_url to the entry's link (in MovableType accessible as <$mt:EntryLink$>) but I really think ID should be able to handle this natively.

Inappropriate?Kelly,
Thanks for letting us know. Unfortunately this isn't something that we can do. Some platforms use GET params to distinguish posts (including WordPress in some configurations), so we unfortunately can't ignore them.
Please note that IntenseDebate is no longer using Get Satisfaction for our forums. Please visit http://intensedebate.com/help or email us at support@intensedebate.com for technical support.
We plan on running our own in-house forum powered by TalkPress (a fellow Automattic product) in the future. We will post updates on our blog at http://blog.intensedebate.com.
Thanks,
Michael
