Commenting on version release thread?

moopf

Commenting appears to be turned off for me on the version release thread (which doesn't make it easy to report problems with the release). However, it appears that some users can comment on it as @ar2rsawseen has been able to? Is that right?

@ar2rsawseen is the hero and moderator over here and only he has some mysterious powers so he can post over there

Oh right, didn't realise that.

ar2rsawseen

Oops, sorry. Didn't know it was closed ">

I haven't known that commenting is turned off for the "Announcements" category. Now I've turned it on. (I've always wondered why @Mells opens a new discussion when we release a new version )

ar2rsawseen

@atilim he just wants to steal all attention to himself (and probably steal @techdojo shiny star)

Mells

@ar2rsawseen

@atilim he just wants to steal all attention to himself

I was hoping nobody noticed

It's true that I opened those threads because the comments were closed, but now I believe that it's better to keep the noise of discussions separated from the announcements.

There are some things that I believe would improve the announcements :

1. Display release notes inside the announcement discussion
2. Provide test files

In my mind, an announcement would be more efficient if it looked somewhat like this :
You can even save a little bit of time if you don't format the buttons

Now that I'm here, in order to improve the forums ( @ar2rsawseen maybe?) I believe that there are too much stickies on the forum's homepage (too much noise, no visual distinction between stickies and regular discussions) and by default pushing the "Starting a New discussion" should create a new discussion and not a new question.

This would remove the noise from the "Answer"/"Answered" labels, it became hard to find the discussions that need an answer

moopf

Yeah, the stickies (announcements) are a little out of control at the moment!

ar2rsawseen

@Mells and @moopf completely agree. And although @atilim said I could unstick anything I want, still have kind of feeling that Gideros team should decide what's more important to stick and for how long.

And I think only @gorkem can make (if he can at all) the discussion by default with option to select a question (not a question by default like it is right now)
