Pardon me if this was already addressed, but I notice I cannot respond to content initiated in the BB News site.

I think that if you want to reply you have to go to blackberrynews.com and leave a comment there

Good morning. I saw that. I think they would get a lot more mileage if they left the option in the forum site itself. Just a suggestion.

I think you are correct

I would like for it to be linked to the news site! Only get a link to invoke a phone call

I hope that the decision makers may consider this idea.

Its a great idea, however there are issues with implementation. I would like to have the login credentials the same but keep comment systems separate, however since the sites are on separate domains, it creates a major cookie issue.

Thank you for responding. If it is technologically and economically feasible, it would be greatly appreciated. I actually read your BB News site first and would go to the forum site to pick and choose the threads worthy to me of discussion. : -)

Any changes in the near future on this?

How about this suggestion.

You already have a BlackBerryFAQ Article Discussion

This would be the Blackberry News.com Discussion.

The original poster could copy and paste the title and article.

By having the forum title, the issue of plagiarism would not be an issue.

It would give you more traffic in both locations.

@akosnitzky - Devil's Advocate: Would your suggestion segregate discussions that are had within the community vs discussions that would take place by visitors that are only interested in the BBN.com site as a news source? As it is now, all discussions are had in the same place ... BBN.com.

One other thing, and I could be totally wrong here, but there is more than likely a goal to get traffic and Search Engine Placement improved on the BBN.com site, and pulling content (discussion posts) back to the BBF.com site could hamper that.
