Louis, I know what you are saying, but its not quite the case

The majority i think at present, in there thousands are using CC programs but hosting elsewhere (includes me)

Sdrive has a purpose, clearly defined for new to web design and hosting, simplified.

I doubt too many serious programmers will use SDRIVE for their permanent sites, I for one am only using there FREE hosting for a few friends with simple websites 1 form and giving them the ease to take over from me when i have done the donkey work , ie wedding car site.

PHP guestbook has worked well for me for 4 years, no spam, and no problems adding it to my hosting account, i even managed to move it from one domain to another intact with all its feedback, give it a try , its excellent

I would echo what Viv has said. If you have a host then spectaculas have guest books to install otherwise there are any number of free and payed for scripts to do what you want.check out Hot Scripts Think of the editor or VSD as being the carrier for anything your heart desires, even specialized programs to do a specific task a lot made by CC. Nobody does it all but these guys certainly come close.

Prism, a friend of mine who has been into computers since the early days of BBC micro (he still has 4) who learn't code, i believe was very different then (binary comes to mind) has for some time been earning £60,000 per year as a code breaker on corporate programs, he was running the team checking Lloyd Banks new internet banking before it went live, is also developing his own website for when he retires next year.

Long story short, i designed a website for his daughter when she left colledge 2 years ago as a professional photographer, using you guessed it VSD, it went live in under a month, gained its first order 3 months later and i think its 7 or 9 wedding bookings in last 12 months.

Tim started developing his site at about the same time doing it in html what ever number it was 3 years ago, not using a program like CC but all as he puts it hard coded

about three months ago he hit a problem, so went and had a look at the code in my designed site, and phoned me to say he wished he had listened when i suggested he looked at CC html editor.

in last 3 months he has started from scratch, re done the whole site, gone live, gained two bookings.

moral of this story, CC VSD & associated programs got this non techy non coder streets ahead of him and it took me less than a month to do what he has now done in 39 months of spare time.

And further more his daughter has taken a few thousand pounds, and my own site is just coming up to £100,000 (must update my sig)

However his clients comments is much nicer than mine, all matches his site etc. and his website is much better than his daughters in my opinion, but they are now running side by side on page 1 of google, so the war is on for who gets the bookings.

This subject of "comment box" is dead and really don't think CC is going to come out with anything else exciting.... :(

I doubt very much this is going to happen Loius, especially if it involves flash as CC is trying to get away from most flash applications now. There's a lot of "exciting" things coming out, just because it isn't exactly what you're asking for doesn't mean it's less exciting :P
