I have the comments for a webpage working now I was wondering if there is a way so that the comments do not show up underneath the webpage but posted on another designated webpage I create. So that you can go to one webpage and read the all the comments about that webpage without the content from the webpage. Any help would be most appreciated.

I'm not sure about this because have not tryed, but maybe it would work if you make node.tpl.php file and remove comment section from there and then create seperate page with views that will display comments for that particular node post.

Youre right about the views part, but comments arent called from within node.tpl.php. You could hide the #comments CSS tag

Thanks for your replies, I think I still need help. So do I need to replace the current node.tpl.php with a new one that has is stripped of the comment code? Or do I edit the CSS so that comment is hidden? I figured out how to make a page-front.tpl.php so that the front page has a different look than the other pages but how would I make a different node.tpl.php so that I can pick up the comments from other page. Any help would be most appreciated.

To pick up the comments from other pages you could use a view (http://drupal.org/project/views)

I found a great solution for comments of a webpage, if you want them displayed on another page rather have them appear below your post, just download and install the module "Talk", all you have to do then is apply that feature to whatever content type you want (Page). then if you activate the comments options of your post, everytime a user adds a post it will be pushed to that page. hope this helps
