Quote Comments View:

This view will contain the Quote Details of a single specified Quote, a Comment link for that quote and a paged listing of the Comment Details for this quote. Comment Details will include, Comment Text, Comment Author, Comment ID, along with a Reply link for each comment.

Entering a new comment will be done through a separate interface the user is taken to once they click a 'Comment' or 'Reply' link. If you use the Quote comment link you will be presented with a summation of the quote and entry fields for Author and Comment Text, if you are signed in Author will be filled in for you and disabled, if you have entered an Author previously on an unauthenticated session then the previously used Author name will be pre-populated and available for editing.

Once submitted the Comment interface will either close or redirect you to either the last page of comments available for the quote or if you replied to a comment it will take you back to that comment.

Now, with all of this I have to admit one thing. I'm still quite torn on how to submit comments. I know damn well I don't want it to be the part of the page it currently is due to the multi-post problem, but I don't know if I want to do it as an AJAX panel that pops up and submits itself or if I want to take folks to a new page, or just pop a new page that has the comment interface. Right now I'm leaning towards a separate page just because it's easiest to handle, my wife's telling me I should at least have that separate page even if the AJAX bit comes into play later.

I also want to know what you guys think about getting bounced around after submitting a quote. I'm pretty sure our lurker types would want to be taken to the newest quote, but I know some folks reply to something midstream and probably wouldn't want to be taken to the last page. So what I've posted above is intended to attempt to satisfy both groups. If you think your group isn't addressed or think the other groups suck and should be ignored give me some comments on what you think the page should look like.

Next post will be this weekend and another one where I'm looking for serious feedback, I'm going to take a few stabs at mocking up a new layout. How does everyone feel about rounded corners?
