Is there a way to change the width of the window that DISQUS plug-in uses on the page? The default width is a bit too large and it breaks my template.

Here's an example of what I mean:

allyourtv.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=990:cable-news-fail-unemployment-extension-not-quite-what-it-seems&catid=78:featurescoveringmedia

I cannot see the malfunction you said... Where does your site break?
