# Profile comments

> Premium profiles can show a chat-bubble button so logged-in visitors leave short comments. 200 characters, once every 12 hours. You choose which corner the button sits in.

Comments let logged-in visitors leave short public messages on a profile, shown in a panel behind a floating **chat-bubble button**.

<Note>
  Showing comments on your profile is a **Premium** feature. You turn them on and pick the button's corner from the [Stats panel](https://dashboard.biolovers.site/dashboard/edit/profile/corner). Posting a comment on someone else's profile only needs a logged-in account — that part is free.
</Note>

## Turn on comments (profile owner)

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go Premium">
    The chat bubble only appears on Premium profiles. See [what Premium unlocks](/premium/what-premium-unlocks).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Stats panel">
    Go to [Profile → Stats](https://dashboard.biolovers.site/dashboard/edit/profile/corner) and scroll to **Profile comments**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tick 'Show comments on my profile'">
    This shows the chat-bubble button on your public page and lets visitors post.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a corner">
    Under **Comment button position**, choose **Top left**, **Top right**, **Bottom left**, or **Bottom right**. The default is **Top right**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

On free accounts the whole section is greyed out with an upgrade nudge, and the button never shows on your page.

## Leave a comment (visitor)

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the comments panel">
    Tap the **chat-bubble button** in the corner the owner picked.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Log in">
    You have to be **logged in** to post. Signed-out visitors see a **"Log in to leave a comment"** link instead of the box; they can still read existing comments.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write and send">
    Type your comment (up to **200 characters** — there's a live counter) and tap **Send**. It appears at the top of the list right away.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## The rules

| Rule                    | Detail                                                                                                                              |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Owner is Premium**    | The chat bubble only shows on Premium profiles that switched comments on.                                                           |
| **Logged in to post**   | You must be signed in to your own account to comment. Reading is open to anyone.                                                    |
| **200 characters**      | The hard limit per comment. The counter shows how many you have left.                                                               |
| **Once every 12 hours** | You can comment on the **same profile** at most once per 12 hours. Sooner and you'll see a "you can comment again in \~Xh" message. |

These limits are enforced on the server, so they apply no matter what.

## Button position

The four options map to the corners of the screen. The button stays fixed there as visitors scroll. **Top right** is the default; pick whatever stays clear of your card and widgets.

## On the alternate domains

Premium profiles can also load on `strolled.dev`, `larp.tax`, and `dominated.lol`. Login only works on the main site, so on those domains the comment box can't sign you in. Instead it shows a link to the same profile on `biolovers.site`, where you can log in and post. You can still read existing comments on any domain.

## Delete a comment

A trash button shows on comments you're allowed to remove:

* The **author** can delete their own comment.
* The **profile owner** can delete any comment on their page.

Deleting is immediate.

## Common questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Why don't I see the comments controls?">
    They're under **Profile → Stats**, and they need Premium. On a free account the section is visible but greyed out with an upgrade link.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need Premium to comment on someone else's page?">
    No. Posting only needs a logged-in account. Premium is only required to **show** comments on your own profile.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I turned comments off — what happens to existing ones?">
    The button disappears and no one can post. Existing comments are kept and reappear if you switch comments back on.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why can't I post again?">
    There's a 12-hour cooldown per profile. If you commented on this profile in the last 12 hours, wait until the timer in the panel clears.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I don't see the chat-bubble button on someone's page">
    The owner isn't Premium, turned comments off, or the profile is private. There's nothing to do on your end.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Someone left a comment I don't want">
    As the profile owner you can delete any comment on your page with the trash button. To stop new ones, untick **Show comments on my profile** in the [Stats panel](https://dashboard.biolovers.site/dashboard/edit/profile/corner). If a comment breaks the rules, report it via the [Discord](https://biolovers.site/discord) or the [contact form](https://biolovers.site/contact).
