Sophie Scott	Friday 19 September 2008 9:00:53 am Hi, I'm new to the forum and to Exponential. in fact I'm posting here to figure out whether it is the right CMS for me. I'm a bit confused by the bits of information on the main site, so I was hoping somebody could quickly tell me whether Exponential, ez flow with ot without additions and extensions do these things: 1. i need commenting on articles 2. more than 5 different user access levels 3. display of related articles and related links in side column (automatically generated) 4. a paid-for jobs board, where users can post job adverts, but they only go live after they paid 5.is it a system more honed for content delivery or also as a community portal? we might have hundreds of people logged in trying to post things simultaneously. thanks sophie

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and to Exponential. in fact I'm posting here to figure out whether it is the right CMS for me.
I'm a bit confused by the bits of information on the main site, so I was hoping somebody could quickly tell me whether Exponential, ez flow with ot without additions and extensions do these things:

1. i need commenting on articles
2. more than 5 different user access levels
3. display of related articles and related links in side column (automatically generated)
4. a paid-for jobs board, where users can post job adverts, but they only go live after they paid
5.is it a system more honed for content delivery or also as a community portal? we might have hundreds of people logged in trying to post things simultaneously.

Welcome to the community,

All of your requirements definitely achievable, except for the performance issue, which I cannot tell you as I've never handled such traffic myself, but I'm sure some other people have.

Comments & access control come out of the box. Relating articles definitely possible to implement, but depends on the logic of course. Prepaid publishing - I've done that, although in a slightly different model (publish before pay - test drive mode). But that's a technicality.
