    So far, the new platform looks good, Roger and Ami.

    However:
    - does it allow html in commets?
    - it’s nice to see that old posts (which have a wealth of information) have been kept, but it looks like any links that we might have had to old posts are now broken. Is that something that you are considering a fix for?
    - it would be useful if we can get a link in the right column to recent comments.

    Regards,

    Tom

    Tom- I’ve put in a request to see if we can get the most recent comments on the right nav. Everything is much better, good work Ami!!

    Tom,

    You can enter links into comments: http://mises.org/Community/blogs/tokyotom/default.aspx. On your test it did not work because there is no space in between the colon and the letter “h” for the link.

    I am also looking into restoring the rest of the thread on the last Swindle post and will see about adding recent comments to the right column.

    Thank you for your feedback! Ami

    Hi Roger,

    Is it really the case that all links to past article, even though they have been preserved, will remain broken?

    Congratulations on the new look!
