Commenting on articles after posting them?

[iLOVENZB]

My latest article was the Internode acquisition (http://filesharingtalk.com/content/1554-iiNet-to-buy-Internode-for-105m), I tried to post a comment immediately after but it seemed to not post. When I repeated to clicked the post button the spam filter went into effect. Is there a time limit between each article post?

Today I eventually posted an open letter from Simon Hackett about 20 hours later.

I remember it letting me post the comment, but it's hidden within the first post. If you go to the vbulletin thread, where the link to the article is, you'll notice the first comment would be added to it. For the one you're talking about, go here:

Checked the vb thread and still no comments.

I'm hopeless at explaining things, maybe if a news poster would try and see what I'm talking about?

I have posted a couple of news articles before, so I know what you're talking about. 30 seconds between posts is a different issue though, that's a board thing.

However, you still have to wait for the article to get published before that comment shows up in this forum:

Oh! I hadn't realised we could create articles. I've just found the link to do it, and the help, but I see that all of the recent articles have been created by staff. Would it be frowned on if I created some? [Don't worry, I'm not planning on going crazy. :D ]

I deleted it which is why it's not showing as posted anymore. If it goes unpublished you can't comment on the article.

Staff approve of them before posting, you would still be classified as the original author though.

Some people think FST is a Warez blog and post new releases with download links :huh:

Oh, cool, I'll give it a go after Christmas then.
