Working on Discuss
Posted by Patrick May on June 16, 2008 5:49 pm
Hello,
I'm putting into place a few improvements / adjustments to the Discuss section, with the goal of making extra-long threads more easy to follow. I will be in touch with a full report once these changes are completed, probably tomorrow.
Cheers,
Patrick

In response to concerns about the Discuss section voiced on and off list, we made a few tweaks to how it works:
- Comments that are new since your last visit are highlighted in red. This should improve the readability of large threads.
- There now is an option to "Preview" when replying.
As always, let us know if you have any questions or find any issues.Best,
Patrick
Thanks!

1 more thing before you go... it would be great if there was a way to mark all stories as not new.
best,
Tim
We've added a link to the discuss section -- Mark all as old. This will remove the "new" flags from all current posts.
Cheers,
Patrick
wow, thanks, I guess we now have the possibility to use that powerful conceptual tool on both Tom Moody and T. Whid at the same time...
I'm thinking of a new feature related to that
would it be possible whenever anyone clicks on "Mark all as old" that the version number does a +0.1 ?
what's to be done ?
haha
I prefer to think of myself as the color guard.

I read this board from 2 different PCs, I clicked "mark all as old" on one and that did wipe away all the red new tags
when I looked on the other PC some of them had reappeared
now that I'm back on the PC where I marked all as old they are still there...
The nesting limit is defeating the purpose of the format. In complex arguments with multiple parts that multiple people are responding to and remixing in different ways, if we can't reply past the fifth degree, then we're actually better served by the plain old email format, where we could be clear about the particular rhizomatic outgrowth of discussion we're getting in on.

Can someone please tell me the link to a call for "political art writing", or something similar like this?
