my mates say they are highly confused that "place a comment" and "read comments" are two different links and two different functions. they want it to work like henso.com and all the other weblogs. i mentioned this behaviour months ago and i got used to it, but apparently this is a serious problem to some.

i think all it needs is a different reply form macro. instead of redirecting the non-member it should simply write a link to to the login page. in doing so the functions of story.main and story.comment can be merged into one script. moreover, what do you think about ditching the two-level discussion in favour of a flat one?
