When you use Site Builder to create a list of comments on the site and you hit the reply button, no reply box opens and no link to where the comment came from? Is it possible to make this list interactive so it links to the original post?

By "a list of comments on the site", do you mean the main page latest activity feed?

No i mean when you create an Item List using site builder if you select comments it creates a module showing latest comments and they all show a reply button but if you click it it takes you nowhere?

I tried using different skins to see if it was a skin issue but they all have same effect

The reason is that when you make a list of comments, there is not going to be a comment form there unless you put one there.

The REPLY button is expecting you to have put a comment reply form in there somewhere so the user can reply.
  <a id="cform"></a>
is what the javascript on the REPLY button is searching for. You can see the rest of the form in the jrComment/template/comment_form.tpl template.

If you're wanting to remove the reply button, i'd suggest CSS. If you're wanting to add the comment form too, it might be doable with a TEMPLATE CODE widget and site builder.
