I am writng a 2 modules that present articles from a magazine on the web site

This is nearly comlete  now I am integrating them to allow users to add comments and rate the articles

I am keen that they should be able to do this without leaving the article presented

I have played around with the forum module but gave up as I couldnt get the flexibilty to allow users to update and add comments as I want.

I have ustilised the forum code and think the solution shoould be stable enough to maintain

I have however had a few issues with identifying the correct procedures for my purposes - the ones that return the correct data return additional threads too and usually expect a user Id even though I dont have one!!

To resolve this I have copied the most suitable stored procs and tailored them to my own needs

Though I am reasonably happy with this method it would be much easier if there were some documentation for devlopers on using the forum objects and methods from other modules.

I also have one irritating issue which I have been unable to resolve regarding the date formatting

When a thread or post is 24hrs old it appears as being posted "Yesterday" where is this formatting done  - in SQL  or asp.net ??? Also I notice that it compensated for localised time settings - I would appreciate some pointers for this too?

TIA

Dave
