Don’t confuse your FREE Disqus commenting account with your paid for BFD membership. **They are not the same thing.** 3. If you want to start commenting on *The BFD* sign up for a [FREE Disqus account here](https://disqus.com/profile/signup/intent/?ref=goodoil.news). All you need is an email address to register a username that suits you. *\*\*If you want to comment anonymously use your real name as your username* 4. If you are having trouble commenting (and you have not been banned by our moderators) then you need to go to Disqus for help. [https://help.disqus.com/en/articles/1717147-why-can-t-i-comment](https://help.disqus.com/en/articles/1717147-why-can-t-i-comment?ref=goodoil.news) 5. *The BFD* can moderate the Disqus comments but we cannot fix any issues you might have. Go to [https://help.disqus.com/](https://help.disqus.com/?ref=goodoil.news) to get help with any Disqus related issues. #### Tips: 1. **If you want to delete a comment** that you have made hover your cursor over the top right of the comment then click on the arrow to select delete. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/31/f4/31f4e20a-0315-499e-83ff-139e8eab53bf/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/screen-shot-2021-08-21-at-5.25.42-pm.png) 2\. You can also help our moderation team keep our comment section respectful by clicking on the arrow on another person’s comment and selecting *Flag as inappropriate* if you think that they are breaking the rules. 3.If you want to put some of your comment in **bold** letters, highlight the text you want in bold and then click on the **B** at the bottom. It will add the HTML which is shown as on either side of the highlighted text which will turn it into bold letters when you post the comment. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/31/f4/31f4e20a-0315-499e-83ff-139e8eab53bf/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/screen-shot-2021-08-21-at-5.31.25-pm.png) The same applies with clicking on the *I* to put your text into italics, the U to underline your text, the chain icon to add in a link and the speech marks to turn the text into a quote. You can also click on the Gif icon to add a gif and the picture icon to add a photo or other image. # Commenting 101 ![Disqus avatar](https://storage.ghost.io/c/31/f4/31f4e20a-0315-499e-83ff-139e8eab53bf/content/images/avatars/512695/square_128/disqus_d_icon_-28gray-29.svg-1472681159.png) Written by Disqus ## Getting Started - [Registering a commenter account](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/916896?ref=goodoil.news) - [Verifying your Disqus account](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/960202?ref=goodoil.news) - [Login to Disqus](https://help.disqus.com/customer/en/portal/articles/466230-logging-into-disqus?ref=goodoil.news) - [Login to Disqus with a social media account](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/1165015?ref=goodoil.news) - [User profiles](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/1109643?ref=goodoil.news) - [Improving your user profile](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/2523622?ref=goodoil.news) - [Site Specific Profiles](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/1897513?ref=goodoil.news) - [Making your activity private](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/1197204?ref=goodoil.news) - [Subscribe/Unsubscribe from notifications](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/927802?ref=goodoil.news) - [Deleting your account](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/472013?ref=goodoil.news) ## Commenting - [Adding images and videos](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/1360518?ref=goodoil.news) - [Remove and edit your comments](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/466229?ref=goodoil.news) - [What HTML tags are allowed within comments?](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/466253?ref=goodoil.news) - [Guest commenting](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/832187?ref=goodoil.news) - [Mentions](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/832143?ref=goodoil.news) - [Syntax Highlighting](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/665057?ref=goodoil.news) - [How to: Get a direct comment link](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/1590129?ref=goodoil.news) ## Community - [Your homepage on Disqus](https://help.disqus.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1587748-your-homepage-on-disqus?ref=goodoil.news) - [Voting](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/658811%5C?ref=goodoil.news) - [Following other users](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/708520?ref=goodoil.news) - [Remove a follower](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/1771646?ref=goodoil.news) - [User Blocking](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/2460515?ref=goodoil.news) - [Disqus web notifications](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/1676530?ref=goodoil.news) - [Sorting comments](https://help.disqus.com/commenting/sorting-comments?ref=goodoil.news) - [Flagging comments](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/466224?ref=goodoil.news) - [Featured comment FAQ](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/1456211?ref=goodoil.news) - [Disqus digests](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/808919?ref=goodoil.news) ## Help - [Which browsers does Disqus work with?](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/466228?ref=goodoil.news) - [Use of cookies](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/466235?ref=goodoil.news) - [Why is email auto-responder posting reply comments](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/472003?ref=goodoil.news) - [How to get help and send feedback](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/1883917?ref=goodoil.news) - [Accessibility on Disqus](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/1424209?ref=goodoil.news) - [Windows phone app help](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/1263393?ref=goodoil.news) ## Troubleshooting - [Browser plugin/extension conflicts](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/1403794?ref=goodoil.news) - [Login troubleshooting](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/920909?ref=goodoil.news) - [Why can’t I comment?](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/711297?ref=goodoil.news) - [I’m seeing a “You are not allowed to perform this operation” error when commenting](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/466236?ref=goodoil.news) - [Why are my comments marked as spam?](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/569646?ref=goodoil.news) - [Troubleshooting email notifications](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/1898437?ref=goodoil.news) *PLEASE feel free to ask any questions you may have about using Disqus in the comments below or share any tips that you have learned with others.*
