ASP "Discuss This Article" Add-on? Can't Post
Does anyone know where there is an Active Server Pages application for a "discuss this article" (something where the comments are at the bottom of the article)?

Thanks!

Hey Bill,

Not that I've heard - but perhaps someone may have implemented one that I'm not familiar with. Presumably you're primarily interested in the comments appearing at the bottom of each article - our goforum script wouldn't help?

Yeah, Ben, in my opinion, comments seen at the end of the page are a constant reminder to a viewer of an active user community. I'd prefer ASP because, except for AM, the whole site is written in ASP.

Guess I'll write my own script & publish it here.

Hi Bill,

I see what you mean. Just one thing to watch out for: since the article pages are all created from a template, any changes your script makes to the published pages will be overwritten if you were to click "Publish all" in your Setup Options. That would recreate each article page from scratch, based on the original template and overwrite the comments added by your script (assuming they were not dynamically written to the page). You're probably aware of this, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.

And good luck with the script - thanks for the offer to post it here, too! :-)
