Article Comments

[WILL]

Which would be best?

A) Comments displayed per article

OR

B) Comments displayed per article page?

[Sly]

I'm not sure what you mean. Could you perhaps give a small description of the two options?

Edit: After thinking about it a bit more, I suddenly realised that article <> news item. Err, yeah. It's Sunday. Brain is switched off.

Comments per article should be fine. You shouldn't need them per page.

[WILL]

I was thinking the same thing. I didn't want to go all 'feature overboard' only to make it's functionality more a pain in the butt than helpful.

Definitly per article - not per page.

I have never liked the page system for articles (on this or any other site). Articles are of most use when downloaded and used on my PC. Page systems make it difficult to do this.

Whenever I view an article on GameDev.net or Gamasutra, the first thing I do is click on the "View printable version" or similar link. This gives me the entire article on one page, usually with black text on a white background.

I'll consider this feature after I have added the Comments feature AND after finally fixing the parser.


What about Anonymous comments? Should I allow for them?

Not unless you want more work, there is bound to be some dorks running around writing crap anonymously.. The thing this century appears to be "Oooh.. I'm first!"... "yesss.. I'm number 10!"

If you want people to log in more, "anonymously" wouldn't help there either

Good points.

Gone as far as I'm going to go on it tonight. What do you guys(and gals?) think of the brushed up look and minor additions to the article viewer?

[Sly]

Looking good so far.
