Great plugin guys!
Looks very promising, and I'm planning to buy these addons if I can I get it configured correctly:
https://gvectors.com/product/wpdiscuz-mycred/
https://gvectors.com/product/wpdiscuz-frontend-moderation/
https://gvectors.com/product/wpdiscuz-emoticons/
https://gvectors.com/product/wpdiscuz-user-comment-mentioning/
https://gvectors.com/product/wpdiscuz-report-flagging/
But I need to figure out how to get these points working before I do that, if you could please help give me guidance for how to achieve this it would great:
1) I want users to automatically be subscribed to replies on their comments, without checking any boxes. I have chosen a few settings that might work for this setup, will this setup work? See here: http://smrtshot.com/i/CeQs
2) Is it possible to add my own custom "Sort by" filters? Can you show me any examples or documentation for this?
3) Is it possible to stop the “thinking/refresh” symbol that appears in the top right hand corner from appearing each time it checks for a live update? It’s distracting to readers who are still trying to read the post. I tried hiding it via CSS with “display:none” but that means it won’t show at all, even when processing a request from the user. I only want to display it when it’s processing a user action; like changing the sort order, or posting a comment, etc.
4) The subscription bar is a bit clunky and not very user friendly, instead I want to have a button that says “Subscribe to this Discussion” which notifies the user of any new comments. Can your plugin be tweaked to achieve this?
5) Instead of showing a box saying “login to comment” users that are not logged in should be able to write their comment, and then when they click the “Post Comment” button it prompts them to sign up or login to post complete the process of commenting. This massively boosts the user sign up conversion rate because people do not want to lose the comment they just wrote. Do you have any integrations or ideas of how this could be done?
6) How can I make the “Post Comment” button always be visible? I do not want it to appear after clicking inside the comment box, I want it to always visible. The "Post Comment" button encourages users to comment more by giving them a clear call to action. Can I disable the hide/show feature of that button?
7) How can I make comment replies trigger BuddyPress notifications?
8) How can I replace the comment thumbs up and thumbs down with other symbols (for example: arrow up and arrow down)?

Hi bennygill,
please find my answers below:
1) I want users to automatically be subscribed to replies on their comments, without checking any boxes. I have chosen a few settings that might work for this setup, will this setup work? See here: http://smrtshot.com/i/CeQs
Yes, this is the correct option to make user subscription enabled by default.
2) Is it possible to add my own custom "Sort by" filters? Can you show me any examples or documentation for this?
No, there is no way.
3) Is it possible to stop the “thinking/refresh” symbol that appears in the top right hand corner from appearing each time it checks for a live update? It’s distracting to readers who are still trying to read the post. I tried hiding it via CSS with “display:none” but that means it won’t show at all, even when processing a request from the user. I only want to display it when it’s processing a user action; like changing the sort order, or posting a comment, etc.
We'll fix this in near future releases.
4) The subscription bar is a bit clunky and not very user friendly, instead I want to have a button that says “Subscribe to this Discussion” which notifies the user of any new comments. Can your plugin be tweaked to achieve this?
I'm sorry but not yet, there is no such task in our near future to-do. This will be improved in 1-2 month.
5) Instead of showing a box saying “login to comment” users that are not logged in should be able to write their comment, and then when they click the “Post Comment” button it prompts them to sign up or login to post complete the process of commenting. This massively boosts the user sign up conversion rate because people do not want to lose the comment they just wrote. Do you have any integrations or ideas of how this could be done?
No yet. This is not a simple task, this is a large change in front UI/UX. Not planned yet. We'll add it in our to-do list.
6) How can I make the “Post Comment” button always be visible? I do not want it to appear after clicking inside the comment box, I want it to always visible. The "Post Comment" button encourages users to comment more by giving them a clear call to action. Can I disable the hide/show feature of that button?
Try this css code (in Comments > Settings > Styling > Custom CSS Code textarea):
#wpcomm .wc-form-footer{display: block!important;}
7) How can I make comment replies trigger BuddyPress notifications?
If it's not being done automatically then there is no way. it means wpDiscuz passes some hook which uses BuddyPress.
8) How can I replace the comment thumbs up and thumbs down with other symbols (for example: arrow up and arrow down)?
You should buy the Advanced Comment Likers addon, or change it manually in core files. Addon has four icon options: http://screencast.com/t/LKhED4maXgDb
