Claiming Your Unverified Profile and Comments

If you’ve posted a comment anonymously and now have a Disqus account, you can merge those old comments into your registered profile.

Head to the claim page to locate and claim your comments. Read on for a some information on how this works.

When a comment is posted, it can be one of two types:

  • a) Verified, posted by a registered member of Disqus
  • b) Unverified, posted “anonymously” by filling in some basic information (Name and email)

These comments are attached to a Disqus profile, which is also one of two types: either Verified or Unverified. To be verified, you must register an account so we know who you are.

A registered, verified account allows you more control and functionality: manage your past comments, receive email notifications, bypass most moderation, and rate other comments.

An unverified profile is indicated as this screenshot shows. If you come across your own unverified profile, click the “Claim” button to be taken to the Claim page.

That’s all, folks. Let us know if you run into any problems.

    Taking Your Unverified Profile and Comments , a Disqus account, you can combine those old comments into your registered profile.

  • Thanks. I've had this creeping sensation in my psyche that i get before a new term emerges or a new concept takes hold: and you have saved me from being a prime example. The new concept or term is
    "Virtual Multiple Personality Syndrome", or in more casual circles it's called "syber slut". ( A syndrome is merely a "set of symptoms" . It hasn't formally made it to the permanent position of "disease" yet. ) "VMPS " is marked by one symptom in particular: a person seems to have many profiles floating around on the web. Most of the time they are forgotten about or lost. Each one focuses on different aspects of the individual's personality. How's that for " VBS"? lol
  • Great stuff. Keep the great features coming.

    I finally integrated Disqus on my site.
  • very nice feature! good work.
  • Very Useful, good idea.
  • Learning, as usual.
  • Very nice feature! I had just realized I posted a video comment on someone's blog, but I wasn't logged in.
    The claim process worked perfectly. Thanks!
  • whall
    nice feature!
  • I have many comments which are unverified type, i thing that its to much for a new commenter to understand what is the difference between Verified and unverified type. is there any more simpler method ?

    Hey can u put this post on my blog, so that folks who haven't verified just might verify it.
  • You just need to go to the one page and enter your email address. You
    don't need to manually locate your old comments.
  • So basically all comments made with the same e-mail address will be imported in one step? Nice :-)
  • This hasn't worked for me. I've made several comments over the past few days on blogs that don't use disqus, and went to claim them on the claim page above, but they're not being claimed. I only use one email when commenting. Any suggestions?
  • Hi Kate, the claim method will only work with websites that use Disqus.

    This is useful for merging in comments you've made while not logged in. Unfortunately we cannot bring in non-Disqus comments at this time.
  • FyreVortex
    This answers the question that I was about to ask. :) Thanks!
  • Very useful. I am sure lots of people will want to integrate their first or old comments that are unverified. Good idea.
