Update from Jerry/Dread Gazebo on the comments page. I hope that all of you that want it back will make your voice heard here....
"Campaign comments are off for now, though we are contemplating bringing them back. I can't give an ETA on this yet though, thanks for the suggestion!"
So, still hopeful that it is coming back....

Why the page was taken away, I do not know.
I have come around to accepting, and in some cases even liking, the changes made to OP by the reforge, except this one.
I want my comments page back

I don't like the isolated feel that the campaigns have without a site search (or at least a search in the campaigns page) or outside comments section.

While we are on the topic: comments on the adventure logs are very important for our play-by-posts. There is still no way to observe if there are comments on a post from the main screen. Similarly, recognition of comments from other players in the game don't show up in any of the feeds. So, I never know whether one of my players has posted a response to a comment or not. Very frustrating.
Just trying to help out.
And I agree with Maesenko, I miss the site search! I have to make a google search for finding some campaigns or player's profile, it seem a little crazy...

(And I'm so soooorry for my poor english...)
They come in three flavors:
Author - User ID
Group - the subdomain usergroup (the game members)
Everyone else - nuff said
I think (my opinion only) that the permissions are what are restricting the comments, however, it may not be high on the list.
Hope this helps explain the issue,

Please bring back the comments page! If you are not going to, at least let us know. This has been in limbo with no action since the Reforge.

Unless it has to do with forums(posts). I wonder of they are trying to reduce server load by setting it up to process less posts? My forum free campaign load three times as fast as the one we use for PbP.

If this is the result of the software used for the Reforge, then why would the developers just not communicate that? Based on prior discussions they admitted to
"I’ve deployed a fix for the missing adventure log comments. Leaving those out was a mistake on my part, and I apologize". This indicates that at the very least there was a developer's decision not to include an important tool for community interaction. I am not a programmer or developer so I can't say with certainty that compartmentalization of Community interaction was totally intentional but once again instead of leaving people in the dark about it, especially if it is a software issue why not just be upfront about it?
“Campaign comments are off for now, though we are contemplating bringing them back. I can’t give an ETA on this yet though, thanks for the suggestion!”
So yes, it was a decision.

Seems to me that the community has borne the lion's share of helping people restore their campaigns; it seems awfully low rent to rely on the community to do this then strip away all of the tools to build and maintain the community.
