I just posted a blog entry on the changes I'm working on for the article system. That link covers it more in-depth, but the cliffs are that in order to upgrade our forum software we need to convert old software systems to modern compatible systems. That includes the article system. Right now I'm testing the upgrade and need to decide if we want comments below the article, an associate thread replies to discuss, or both. I'm also looking for feedback on consolidating the categories. I figured a thread would be useful as it'll get more exposure. I'd like to solicit feedback on the changes I'm considering for the system and to get opinions/ideas on how to improve it generally.
