Yeah, post comment should probably flag in the poster of the thread. I include it as an option, because the new forum software does not need a comment when starting a new thread. Whether or not FR takes advantage of this for article posts could be a legal issue. However, this software is designed to post more than just articles. There will be templates for anything the site wishes to use, among these: discussion threads, excerpt+links, book reviews, polls & surveys, maybe even "caption this image". All up to the site owner.

I concur with expanding the posts to, say, 100 before pages kick in, which ought to cover most articles in total. Those of us on dial-ups would relish the reload or refresh button loading only the last page. Now I've got to go fire up the AS/400 with it's 1200bps modem, and try this out!
