$('#comments-container').comments({
profilePictureURL: 'https://app.viima.com/static/media/user_profiles/user-icon.png',
getComments: function(success, error) {
var commentsArray = [{
id: 1,
created: '2015-10-01',
content: 'Lorem ipsum dolort sit amet',
fullname: 'Simon Powell',
profile_picture_url: 'https://app.viima.com/static/media/user_profiles/user-icon.png',

spinnerIconURL: 'img/spinner.gif',
upvoteIconURL: 'img/upvote-icon.png',
replyIconURL: 'img/reply-icon.png',
noCommentsIconURL: 'img/no-comments-icon.png',- jQuery >= 1.9.0
