The forum numbers are actually up 15% from 6 months ago. Had this move been made for traffic or numbers, I would allow files to be hosted here and require sign up in the forums to get to it. The judgement call I made initially to not allow discussion was one that basicly was the easiest to make and the one that covered my A&& legally. *ps. I just woke up. Sorry if I sound drunk.

Very very sneaky and just a little frustrating as I am sure I am not the only one who this frustrates.
The posts here sending to another site is to help both the author and the readers follow the thread. When the version of the mobilitysite post was replicated in the forums with the ability to comment, there was no notification to the author that there was a question or coment to their post. Having the posts allow comment both on MObilitysite, the original source and the forums made things confusing, so we are discussing mobilitysite news posts on the comment section of the post. I had considered not replicating these posts in the forums all together, but there are many that like to be notified in the forums that there is new content on Mobilitysite.
