Faa Discussions- Will They Be Improved?

Hi,
I know there's a lot of change happening (shopping widget, UK POD etc) but I'm wondering will the Discussions be improved?
I'm talking about features like-
reply to someone's comment (so your reply shows their comment)
like somone's comment
enable formatting (e.g. bold. italics, bulletining etc.)
different discussion subjects/folders- e.g. 'marketing', FAA Feedback & Tech support etc.

Thanks,
Patrick.

Patrick, you can already use some HTML formatting in the comments.

As to the others . . . I don't know.

I don't think changes to the discussions are even on the radar at the moment, but they're not too bad as they are, once you get used to them.

As I understand it, there will be NO changes to FAA. Well, except for those 'big ones' that were promised months ago. And the admins here are keeping mum as to what changes these might be. Just that they are big, and no one knows when they will happen. All I have heard is that they will happen “very shortly”; Whatever that means.

No, there will be no changes to the forum. At least for a while.

LOL - I thought this was going to be about the quality of the discussion. ;-)

Me too Ed, but I don't think you can change human behavior all that easy. lol

I will tell you that I post on two different, non-art boards that have seen a 50% drop or more in participation when they went to that "reply" to individual posts system.

Those threads get so fragmented that you can only follow one person at a time easily and you lose the continuity of the OP very fast.

I like the discussions the way they are now. I can find things. I hate the "outline style" discussions where you reply to a reply, etc.

I don't ever participate in discussions on any of the other sites I'm on because I can't find anything and the format is really lame. You can wait days for an answer to a question there because nobody sees it.

Here, I post a question, and I get an answer within minutes.

 

Mary, that's because we're slackers who do nothing but hang out on the forum all day.

Or, so I've heard. ;-)

 

Ow -- I was cloned! :-)

@ Wendy - I'm avoiding some accounting work right now - guess I should stop "lurking" and get to it LOL.
