**Problem:** The Answer UI shows, prominently, the answer box at the bottom of a question, regardless if the user has permissions (Edit permissions on the object) to answer it or not.
**Reproduction:**
See:
{F706889}
This is as an unprivileged user (approved, but not given edit perms otherwise) viewing the question.
When attempting to enter an answer, anyway, the expected error modal is presented.

**Potential solutions:**
1. If the user has no permissions to answer, hide the "Answer" field under "New Answer"; show a box with "You cannot answer this question" in its place.
2. Make the "Show n Comments/Add a Comment" control more prominent, perhaps as a button control rather than a link. See [[ https://we.phorge.it/uiexample/view/PHUIXComponentsExample/ | this under UIExamples ]] for a potential example.
3. Make the comment entry field expanded by default, rather than hidden behind the "Add a Comment"/"Show n Comments" control.
A quick and dirty mockup of solutions 1 and 2 are shown below.

As always, if any further information is needed, feel free to ask. I'd submit a Task, but I'm still new here. :)
//(edit: fixed the mockup, the button was riding a border with no margin. oops)//
