Grab the latest version of the CommentIt plugin - if you have never tried it
you really should check it out - it's the 'bees knees'. :-)

New bits: 
Fully customisable forms, comment button and visitor feedback.
Powerful new workgroups feature.
Users can inspect their own comments.
Fix for multiple delete bug.
and lots more....

Good old bits:
Works on both dynamic and statically rendered Manila sites.
You can choose to be e-mailed when a new comment is added.
Comments can be restricted to editors only.
Comments can be restricted to logged in members only.
Comments can be appear to logged in members only.
You can decide what pages can receive comments and what pages can't.
Comments can appear on both stories and discussion group messages.
Templates for the input forms so you can change the text and what fields are
collected, even adding additional fields.
An output template so you can design your response format.
Includes a powerful workgroups feature: only workgroup members can view
messages posted by other workgroup members. Particularly useful in the
educational setting.
Easy to modify the text that appears on the comment button

Great for documentation sites, educational sites, local travel sites and
basically every type of site you can think of.

What is it?
CommentIt is a Manila Plug-in by Jim Byrne and David Bayly.

CommentIt lets visitors to your site append comments to the bottom of your
web pages. Great for sites where :

* a full-blown discussion Forum/membership system just seems like overkill

* you like to keep your low-bandwidth visitors happy

* you would like to keep comments on the pages they refer to.

It also does lots!

All the best,
Jim
