The story commenting feature is working again.

I'd like to remind folks to please be civil. You don't need to call names, use profanity, scream in red type and all caps to get your point across. Really.

It's OK that someone has a different perspective than you. And it's not the end of the world that someone likes a different sports team than you.

You don't need to make fun of people who are injured in accidents. (I guarantee you don't look as cool as you think you do)

Ask yourself, would you still type the same comment if your name was posted? And if not, then do you really need to post the comment at all?

Thanks for listening.

To clarify: we use Pluck for story comments and forums. We use a different solution for comments on blogs like this one. You should see commenting coming back to live on the main IdahoStatesman.com site soon.

Commenting isn't working on IdahoStatesman.com right now. The issues aren't just on our site - any Web site that uses the Pluck commenting tool is having the same issues.

We hope comments are back soon; we'll keep you posted.
