Comments on what exactly?

I don't really know yet Trevor, maybe some article or something of interest. I would like people to look at it, read it or whatever and then leave some thought or opinion about it. That's it to begin with. Thanks...

If you want them to comment on articles, how are you creating the articles as there is no option for this in vB5 at this time?

If it's Blog entries, they can comment directly on the entry (if they have permission). If you're looking to put some form of generic 'comments' box in there and have the comments assigned to differing content somehow, you're going to need to write some PHP code to effect this, something we don't provide support for.

I am creating an article via the HTML module but I guess that is for CMS.

If you're creating an article via a module in the absence of the CMS at this time, there is no way to add comments without using custom code to capture and display these. The only other option you have is creating a discussion thread in the forum then providing a link at the foot of your article to direct users to it.

Thanks mate, that is exactly what I have been doing for the past hour or so. It seems like I am on the right track and with your suggestion, I now know to which direction I should go.
