Ridiculously petty but - would it be possible for someone to change what now reads "Artists Comments" to the more grammatically correct "Artists' Comments"? That's all. Thanks!

Actually, wouldn't it be Artist's Comments? appostrophe after means plurall possesive but its only the comments of one artist. Right?

Not really. See, above Arists Comments - it reads Artists. So, operating on the assumption that there are more than one artists involved, it would seem logical that there are more than one artists' comments. Hence, apostrophe after the 's'.

Yeah but only the primary artist can post in the comments section which is why I was thinking it should be Artist's Comments. But it's not that big of a deal.

...The 's or s' thing or the apostrophe thing in general isn't a big deal? Because, y'know... seeing as PaperDemon has art and writing... it'd seem that grammar would be respected. :s

No I wasn't saying your comments weren't a big deal. I was saying my own comments weren't a big deal. I was trying not to sound like a smart ass.
Artist's Comments means the comments of one artist.
Artists' Comments means the comments of multiple artists.
The Artists Comments section of the View Art page only displays comments from the primary artist, which is why I argue for Artist's Comments rather than Artists' Comments.

Oh, it doesn't matter- as long as the apostrophe is in there. Having my suggestion considered at all makes me pleased.
