Hi Horton, Vanilla Comments are platform-agnostic. It shouldn't matter what system you set it up with. We don't currently have any demo install. However, I believe you could test by having it post to a hidden category on your current site.
I added a second post to my blog page today with the universal code. When I added a post - I did not get a new thread in forum - I got a new post in the existing thread I created last night- see the link above.
Is this the way you expected the system to work? It looks like I would need to edit the universal code for every post..
Hi @Horton, you're not using Vanilla Comments as they're intended. They need to be in your Joomla page template, and you need to put the variable for the unique post id in the Universal Code here where it says 'your-content-identifier':
var vanilla_identifier = 'your-content-identifier'; // Your unique identifier for the content being commented on
If you're going to continue pasting that into every post (which I strongly recommend against), you need to manually change it every time, yes.

When you guys get caught up and want to refine this you might look at http://www.ballofspray.com/forum#/discussion/4961/thewaterskier-oct64
I like it but it reposts banners from my blog into the forum
I'll have @Mark take a look at that auto-image-grabber. :)
