I don't think we can comment on articles, is that right, Tony?

It might be nice to chat about some of the products you review . . .

I had a rating system for the articles and blogs but that was being sort of abused by some who logged in as "other" members and rated their own posts. Funny thing was the ratings didn't "do" anything or give them points toward prizes...

Yes it is possible for me to implement comments on those posts, but perhaps doing that stuff here in the forum would be better suited than having a 3rd area for them (blog, forum, articles)....

Did any of that make sense at all?

Ok I checked. I can click my mouse about 5 times and have comments on the articles. Let's just see what other people think. One vote "for" obviously.

I think comments on articles should be aired on the forum...if someone has a personal message or question for the author, they can ues "personal contact". Can you create a link for "comments" to the forum to start a new string?

As for blogs, I sort of like the way it is now.

I think that linking comments for an article to the Forum or to the blog would make more sense ... sort of the way some of the local and national media sites do.

Agreed!
