XF2: Allow to completely remove comment feature and instead only show discussions.

In admin panel, we can go to area settings and play with "Discussion Topics Allowed in this Area" setting.

It seems like [Main Discussion] setting was meant for comments and [User-Created Topics] was meant for discussions.

If I just enable [User-Created Topics], it will show previously created threads, but it doesn't let me create new ones.
Also, the comments header is still on the page being an eyesore, despite it being disabled.

Is this a bug or is there any way we can just get it where threads and creating threads are allowed, while "comments" are completely removed? Having both makes it look bloated and really confuses users as there doesn't seem a real need to have both...

You are correct in your assessment in how the area setting should work.

The following bugs are fixed in the next build:
- The "Comments" header appearing even though "Main Discussion" is disabled by the area.
- "Start New Discussion" button not appearing.
- Incorrectly stating the user doesn't have permission when visiting the new-discussion form directly.

The bug with - "Start New Discussion" button not appearing. is still occuring when I enable only the user-created topics option:

As you can see below where it should be it is missing.

That fix didn't actually make it into the last build but will appear in the next release.
