{jrCore_item_detail_features module="jrForum" item=$topic exclude="jrComment~item_comments,jrDisqus~disqus_comment"}

"disqus_comments" is the correct one - you just want to change it to:

{jrCore_item_detail_features module="jrForum" item=$topic exclude="jrComment~item_comments"}

By changing it to "disqus_comments", you made that an invalid module feature short name, and so it shows.

The first is what SHOULD be in the forums module - it prevents both regular comments and disqus comments from showing on forum posts (which is what we want).

The forum already has "comments" in that people can respond to a forum post by adding their "comment" to it. Having Disqus comments at the bottom of each forum post would be confusing for most users, and I'm not sure you would want that - but I'm glad it's working for you.


Thanks!

i have been ussing disqus commenting in forums all along so non members can join in on discussions
everything disqus is on already has commenting on it disqus just alows non members to contribute it also really helps seo on the pages being discussed off site'
all i know is somehow i enabled it, maybe in a custom template but then it died
removing the s fixed it ..i guess by breaking the code to disable it
