    Comments now enabled on HEXUS Main Site

    As you're likely aware, all HEXUS articles have forum threads associated with them.

    Now, the last few comments appear on the last page of an article:

    http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=9383

    Props to whichever people made this marvellous feature happen
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    What happens if there are 50 comments on a particular piece. Does it keep scaling down or do extra pages get created?

    It grabs the latest few.

    Is there an irony that the story highlighting the feature doesn't take advantage of it itself by not having a dedicated page?

    Overall, it's a great idea - not entirely sure how well it will work a day or 2 after an initial review or something, as chat generally moves slightly away from the subject at hand, but it's still a nice feature.

    I'm not particularly excited about this. Like this_is_gav said the most recent posts generally are the lowest quality after the first 20 posts or so. I'd rather just go to the forums and read starting from the beginning
