They're in nonVB html pages, alas. I figured I could have what I want if I converted the site into VBportal or something similar, but I have (gulp) four years' worth of episodes, and the idea of reformatting all that stuff makes me weak in the knees.

I dunno, I could see this hack as having a practical use for article writers who'd like to have an easy way to invite comments on their work.

Assuming my hypothetical hack notion isn't possible, and I use your idea of posting just the last scene of the episode in a VB thread -- would there be any way to have a layout like this:

1. scene text (aka the first post)
2. Quick Reply box
3. replies (in a different format than the scene text)

The replies would need to look different (maybe in a smallfont size, as opposed to normalfont) so that they don't detract from the scene itself. Not as important but also desirable would be to have the Quick Reply box situated between the scene and the replies.

But ideally my hack will be possible. Call me a dreamer!
