 * Hi!
 * Scenario: A user posts a comment for an article (which is the first comment for
   this article) I have written, and when he/she has done that I want it to become
   a thread/forum-post in the forum, in the section All Posts (or as it says in 
   Swedish “Alla inlägg”). That way the conversation can be found even in the forum
   AND in the posts comment-section…
 * Is this possible? Please, I hope it is…

 * Hi there!
 * It absolutely is possible. On the page editor for your forum page, there is actually
   a checkbox in the Muut panel “Access Comments from navigation” ([screenshot](http://f.paulhugh.es/bwnq)).
   That will add a link to the forum navigation on your forum page to access all
   the comments. Even without that, actually, users who are commenting on posts 
   can already access those threads when they are logged in under the My Feed tab
   on the forum. They won’t show under All Posts (users who aren’t already commenting
   might not know what a thread is about), but they’ll still be accessible in that
   Channel in the forum navigation and users who are commenting on them will of 
   course be notified and can access them under “My Feed”.
 * Let me know if you run into any other questions! 🙂

 * Ok!
 * Well, I don’t think it would hurt to make it a choice for the admin: that when
   a comment is submitted for the first time for an article, the article with the
   comment becomes a forum-post with the articles name. So in that way, the first
   comment is a starting point for a real forum discussion.
 * But thank you so much Paul. It is very rare to get an reply like this, as quick
   and informative!
 * Thank you again!

 * No prob! 🙂
 * And thanks for the input! Always glad to hear about the use cases people have.
   Since Muut is a very open system (not inherently tied to WordPress), there’s 
   often some jiggering involved (and indeed possible!) to get things working just
   as people like in their individual situations. The ability to tie the commenting
   on posts better with accessing them in the forum UX is something definitely that
   we’re wanting to improve, but it does bring along a lot of other stuff to handle
   for administrators, and verifying that they are proper embeds, and to deal with
   changing URLs, etc. 😉 So, it’s something that isn’t on our short list, but is
   definitely something we’re into making even better for blog implementations.
 * Thanks again!
