I recently upgraded from 1.0 to 2.0. Since Bender doesn't use .shtml, how can I read the comments of my old stories? It seems as though all the old comments are toast. Also, what happens to the comments of a story after it reaches the "archive" date? Erased? --Brent |

> They stay in the DB. Will that even be the case on Slashdot? So comments won't disappear from user info and searches after a couple weeks? That would be sweet, but I don't want to think about the DB size... -- Like to travel? http://TravTalk.org Micah Yoder Internet Development http://yoderdev.com |

You will notice that the comment itself is now in comment_text, and that the rest of the attributes are in comments. This means we just do a select on a key to gain the test of the comment. -Brian |
