Discussions

Following on from an earlier discussion, there have been a few more minor improvements to the site recently. The display of the message quote anchor '#' has been improved in old discussion when there are no other options (such as "reply") next to it (thanks to danpost for highlighting the problem originally). Also, should now be able to delete a post in a discussion with the same rules as for editing: that is, you can delete a post if it is the last post in the topic (no-one else has since replied). This last one is a change of heart since we originally did not intend to allow this - the reason being as that the forum is meant for discussion, and we naturally make small mistakes in a conversation. We shouldn't feel the need to hide those mistakes, especially since seeing they might help provoke more discussion... however, many people wanted to be able to delete posts, and people were using the "edit post" (meant more for fixing typos and formatting) to effectively delete content anyway, so I've now bowed to this request. There may be some small additional improvements over the next few weeks and I will post about them here. Can I ask that requests for features/fixes be made in a separate discussion topic so that this topic remains an uncluttered record of changes - thanks. (Any serious, new, problems with the site can be raised here).
