Why is Google ignoring this issue, there are a tone of people with this problem and a tone of posts spread throughout the help forum with people asking the same question. " why can only collaborators (who can already edit the entire page) make comments and not general site visitors?"

I have a blog added to my Google site but all I really want is a comment box. I have made the blogger site for this purpose. The idea is I embed the blog in the site and people can leave comments  in the iframe thus creating a simple limited forum. I used the Ultimate iframe gadget so I could limit what part of the blog page shows up on the Google site. It all looked great but then I tested leaving a comment.

When testing the site redirects the user away from the Google site and takes them to the blog. I want the iframe to contain the site with out redirecting but even testing multiple iframe gadgets and html I cant stop posts from moving the user away from my site.

I have tested other gadgets as well as embedding a full fledged forum, and using Raveens " http://www.raveen.net/comments/create " method. None of them work like I want. The full forum is to much and Raveens method is to little.

shoutbox  is ugly and has no moderation, http://sites.google.com/site/annuairevin/a-shoutbox-in-a-page

google talk only works with Google (g-mail)http://sites.google.com/site/annuairevin/tips-and-tricks-for-google-sites
not all my visitors use it.

 I dont see chat tested at t http://sites.google.com/site/k8omsbob/test

I cant get this http://drgoss.org to work

http://sites.google.com/site/hkhadra/Contact-me/comments looks nice but I'm note sure how to use the code or if it will work with my blog.

Any other ideas.
