Huh. Excellent point. So wouldnt the better approach have nothing to do with the display of the commnets, but rather the placement of the comment button?

I don't know if I understood this question. If you are stating that the placement of the comment button is the core issue, I don't agree. But I wouldn't also agree that the placement of the comments is the core issue =)
The most important thing, that I think it escaped me in my last reply, is how you approach the system.

You started this mod from an excellent angle: "Lets fake it! vB already does everything needed, there's no need to reinvent the wheel, we'll just display this a little better".
From your point of view, which isn't far from the truth, an article is nothing more than an extremely big post. Like every other post in your forum, the comments and comment form (quick reply) come after it.
Breaking the text into several pages shouldn't be the starting point to reinvent the wheel.
Personally I think it's pretty confusing to have comments in the middle of the article. If I question myself "is this the end of the article or are there more pages?", I know some of my members will be sure that if there are comments there, then the article is over.
And why shouldn't they? If every other page in the site is like that, why should it be different there?

Bottomline is: if you can provide a way for the admin to select if the comment button (and/or the quick reply form) and the comments are displayed in the last page or everywhere, great! I sure appreciate it as I'm sure everyone else will appreciate having the option instead of being forced to "hack the hack" =)
However, like I've tried to explain, it doesn't make much sense.

Edit: while I was typing this, you (NG) and Snow posted your replies. I second Snow's post. Next time I'll wait a while before replying =)
And yes, that looks fine to me =)
