No, it doesn't bother me either...I like the q & a section.  There are some thought-provoking questions being asked, and some equally interesting answers.

 Good morning Leanne. Most likely there was some abuse of the system. That was the reason they disabled it.

Leanne, I was not very happy about this change.  I would like to see them limit the number of questions asked rather than limit the answers on the general thread.

It may be a good time to simple eliminate the Q & A section and have the staff focus their attention on more important issues.

No.

Wouldn't you be able to comment once and then edit that comment with the replies to other comments? Since the answer/comments move up and down the list according to upvotes it's hard to follow anyway.

It's hard for me to get worked up over this.

I usually do not comment on a comment left so it is not an issue to me.  It would be however if I do.  

Not sure why they did that, myself. At some point I just go with the program and wait for the next set of changes (needed or not).

Also you don't receive points for comments, only for that one answer. It is sooo weird. How can we create discussion with only one answer?

Lots of changes going on and it is impossible to please every one.  Mark

S. Leanne Paynter ~ Broward County, FL - well, I got to admit it - I have stopped responding as a comment on answers - as it is NOT visible to anyone. Saves me time I guess!

As much as it's a good idea to have the conversation limited to the answer, I'd rather see and read all the answers and responses to the answers.

So to answer your question - I'd say, I do not like that change in recent release, mainly for the same reason. However, I still love Q&A section.

Yes...all the time.

Yes, I hope there is ticket on this issue for improvement. 

No it doesn't bother me that I can't do that. I read the answers and don't necessarily have to make a comment. People were abusing the system trying to rack up points so they changed it.
