Sorry to interrupt…

We are a charity website still in development and you could really help by telling us what you think of the site. Once you have had a chance to see the site, would you take part in a very short, confidential survey? You just have to click Launch Survey (it will open in a new window). Thank you very much.

Subject: Forum vs comments for feedback

Just wondering if people prefer using the "comments" or this forum for giving feedback. Maybe the this forum area encourages longer conversations? or different types of conversations? Are both ways as user friendly?

Not v easy to find either. 

+ I wonder why there are two possible questions to answer at the end of each episode - I think we've all answered both (what's going on/what next) in one go.

Yes, I guess it's a matter of getting the balance right between giving people different ways of responding, yet not making it confusing.  I also wonder if the words "comments "and "forum" could be reconsidered? I quite like "discussion" as it means something more ongoing and interactive to me. And "forum" might not be a term that is widely recognised, and is a bit formal and academic sounding.
