    got a small nag with it, on something like the story:

    HEXUS.lifestyle - Headline :: Show your support for net neutrality, lose your cherry : Page - 1/1

    it shows some comments, and there is the reply button, but its lacking an obvious navigation aid to the main forum page posting, listing all posts.

    On this subject though, why are only some comments listed on the news article? are they picked manually by the team or at random by the web app?

    If they are manually picked I think that system works well to only show to readers of the site relevant comments about an article. Great stuff going on with this site wide change I really like whats been done Now if hexus for mobile was launched I'd be very happy and if possible the forums made into a mobile version as well
