We’ve just added a Comments Action to ActionsForge that allows users to leave comments on your site. The Action uses Disqus to host the comments. It’s an experimental Action so if you discover any problems with it, let us know. Enjoy!
That’s great and I love it. I already have an article on my website to do it without the action, but this will make life a lot easier. The Freeway way.
Just had a look and have one advice. Please make the h3 tag that is now fixed in the action configurable. I already use this tag in my website and having to change this because of an action would be most inconvenient.
We have no control over this as it’s code that’s injected by Disqus. Sorry!

You can make a style in your page to override the look of the disqus h3. If you make a style with the Tag:
#disqus_thread h3
You can set the look and feel of the Add New Comment text to anything you like.

You can set pre-moderation in Disqus, so you don’t have to worry. There are endless settings there, very fine-grained decisions can be made regarding what happens when someone posts.

For students this would not work without previewing comments first.
Karen E, I want to work with you on this to get it to work too, I have been crazed with getting video to go well but I am coming back to this project for my site.
Keep me in mind as you get it and we can assist each other.
I had asked Walt when this was first mentioned if there was a way that all posts could be previewed first (I am a teacher of 12 year old, enough said there). He said he thought you could in the setting for the disqus). In my short attempt with it I did not see this. Would you be able to confirm that this can be done or not before I get heavily involved?
On the Disqus site, click on your site name, then the Settings tab. Click on the Moderators sub-tab. Look half-way down the page for Pre-moderation and check the Yes button. Done.

I’m a bit embarrassed by this - I was also working from the Sensor template (same one the demo uses) - they liked the look of it - so there you go! This (new) site also implements the Yahoo Music Player action nicely. I’m still waiting on content to grow it some more.
