hey

I have a website and would like to know how to add comments to the web page which are posted in the forums.

this is EXACTLY what I'm looking for.
http://www.sitepoint.com/article/dreamweaver-8-review
you see when you scroll down and you see comments posted by other users. and then the users have the option to post a comment from right there or go to the forum and sign up. and you see how these comments are posted in the forums and then they are also viewed here.
that is what i want exactly. please please teach me how to do that. I've been searching for this for 4-5months. I'm a total noob at web designing. I use dreamweaver to make websites.
i already have a foruma and my website is up online

thank you very much

If I understand you correctly, you want the page's content to be on a both an individual page and in the forum and when users comment it will also create a reply on the forums to the topic? Or would you rather have the topic link to the page and then have comments on that topic? This will depend a lot on what forum system you are using and it will likely be a custom programming job where the script mimics how the forum creates posts.

yes what i want is exactly what that site has.

like if i have an article post on a page on my site and i want the users to comment on that article and then the comments should be shown under the article and and user or guest should be able to post comments from that page. and then also those comments should be in a thread on the forum. like the topic of the forum will be related to the article, so the users also have the option to comment on the forum to that article and when they comment from the forum this comment should also be shown in that page below the article.

i hope i have made it clear.

and i have forums already setup. they're phpbb2 forums.
