Extension:PostComment

The Postcomment extension allows users to post comments directly to discussion pages directly from a form at the bottom of each discussion page. This extension is by no means meant to be an extensive solution to discussion page problems (I'll leave that to LiquidThreads), it's just a simple extension that works for smaller wikis. So far we've had over 150,000 talk page messages posted with it and our community seems to like its simplicity.
