i'd like to change the way the comments work. i would like to have something like henso, metafilter or the old ndx, i.e. if you press the discuss link you see the original story with all attached comments and at the end there should a form to enter the comment (or a text suggesting the user to login). before i waste my time and mess up my test site i would like to know if i can change this in the skin editor?

i just deleted a story with comments. looks like i have to delete the comments first. otherwise there will be an error instead of the (not) deleted comments in the "last modified" sidebar.

tonight i was talking with my mate yam about his experience with antville. he said he sign up at our test site (eleph). i wanted to give him admin rights, but for some reason he is not in the members list. i suppose he might have signed up on the main site instead.

however, we figured out that people who are not signed up on one site cannot edit their stories posted on other sites. remember? i complained about being unable to set my story written in the project site online, because there is no edit link. typing the url doesn't work either. i reckon it is because i am not a member here. yam has exactly the same problem on the eleph site. he wrote a story on eleph, but he cannot edit it to set it online.

looks like a conflict between the cookie and the membership data. i guess in one case (when soemone wants to write a story) you only ask if the cookie is present and in the other case (when it comes to editing) you ask if the person is really a member.
