Hi, everyone!  
For their new content pages, I noticed that Sitepoint switched back to using Disqus for comments - away from the earlier Discourse-based solution. There was a discussion about this here: [New Articles are using Disqus? - Community - SitePoint Forums | Web Development & Design Community](http://community.sitepoint.com/t/new-articles-are-using-disqus/191149)

Their response from that thread is what caught my attention:

> Hey Scott, we’ve switched back to Disqus for two reasons: **we’re waiting on some Discourse updates that would make commenting inline** , and to allow for engagement of Disqus users. The moderation team here are still posting the articles on the forums, so you can view articles either on [SitePoint.com](http://SitePoint.com) or on the Forums.

The emphasis is mine. Is there a plan to support inline commenting on article pages? I’ve switched away from using Disqus to using Discourse for all of the content on [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com), and there has been a near 90% drop-off in user engagement. The feedback I’ve heard from visitors is that having to jump from an article to a completely different place on the forums seems too heavyweight. They either no longer comment or (worse) send me a direct e-mail where the interaction is hidden away and not useful for future readers.

I’ve read Jeff and others’ thoughts on why this separation exists and is a good thing, but I am curious to know if thoughts on this have changed to accommodate inline commenting on a page while still syncing the content with the forum UI as well.

Cheers,  
KIrupa
