I changed the title of this post.

I want to give some big picture background on why I am making all these changes.

It seems to me that Nabble probably developed the FORUM version of the apps first. Newspaper and Blog look to be a creative use of that original design.

We have created a magazine.  It's designed to be a digital version of an old style glossy print publication.

I've asked for a bunch of changes that Hugo and Pedro probably think are nuts.

One change: I removed the ability of commentors to add photos and htags in comments. Basically I don't want comments to compete with the original article.  Comments should be low key and in plain text.

We want to remove access to commentor pages.

The changes above related to author pages - we want to highlight their posts only, not comments.

We are thinking of our "magazine" like an art gallery where we show our work and comments are made in hushed tones.

This is opposite of our forum where everyone has an equal voice.

Maybe this could be a model for a future Nabble product.

Regardless. We really appreciate all of Nabble's help in realizing our vision for our Magazine.
