That was really uncalled for. What do you mean I don't take criticism well. I have several posts that are absolutely thrashed before. Even my article has been bashed by some people who think they are above everyone else. I have never cried over down votes etc. In fact I am one opf those who find such trivialities disgusting. Don't make bold statements on people you hardly know. That just shows that you think you are above everyone else.

Then why the heck is so much noise from you.
Just ignore all, send the email to chris and co and keep mum.
Its all started when your post( with curse words) was removed my GIT members. So just wind up and relax.

Super

How many times do I have to admit that asking people if at all deleting an account was possible was a HUGE mistake? Yes, I was stupid to ask people about that. I admit I was stupid. Now, I'll stay mum only if you let me be, without making provokative posts.

Take a breather. Don't come to the site for a couple of weeks....cool off and relax. Come back and it will be OK. I have had a hot head here as well and taking a breather can really help.
Whatever you do, don't delete your account...it's not worth it and it proves nothing.

This[^] page shows "-- There are no messages in this forum --" but there is no "New Message" widget, so I suspect the forum has not been created. If so, the message is not quite correct.
PS: I won't track this entry.
Message removed, the logic is just fine. What was I thinking (this is rhetorical!).

You get to decide whether or not others can post new messages on your profile forum. David would see "New Message", but you would not. Look at mine. I see "New Message", but I'm guessing you can't.

You're right. All is normal then. I'll fix my message. Thanks. I knew I wasn't going to track this.

After some further investigation, I can't find a way to "decide whether or not others can post new messages on your profile forum." It looks like the owner is the only one who can start a new thread (which is probably just what I would want anyway). What say you?

At the top of the forum, it says "FAQ". To the right of that, there is a little icon that looks like a pencil on paper. Click that, and you can edit your forum settings. One such setting is, "Users can post new messages?" I think you also see those settings when you first create the forum.

Waw. That was all new to me.
It has been a really long time I created such a forum (I'm not even sure I ever did), and I sure can't remember having ever seen all those options.
Thanks.

Count for the answers given in Q & A is different in the profile page and the my answers page. Also, one of the question I had created and deleted has suddenly reappeared in my profile after the upgrade.
|
|
|
|

I'm seeing 258 for both. What values are you seeing?

Currently I can see 261 and 265 as the answer count.

Your profile has a count of publicly available posts only. The list page offers you all posts.
There's a link at the end of the page that allows you to toggle. I'll make this more prominant and add more explanations.

A thread starting question (or even any message in a thread), once it has gotten one or more replies, should either not offer a "remove" widget at all, or its function should be altered so only " [removed]" gets added to the subject line, leaving the body intact, rather than mutilate the entire thread.
example[^]
PS: IMO it is also pretty weird to show a "bookmark" widget on a removed message; "View Thread" still makes some sense, assuming the replies can still make an interesting read.

We can't stop someone removing a message if someone else has replied to it. The other option is to someone who starts a thread the ability to delete the entire thread if they decide to remove their post. This too is unacceptable.
I can remove the bookmark link, obviously, but I'm not sure it really hurts to have it there.

There are sites where removing/emptying the question upon completion is the norm. AFAIK CP isn't one of them.
A lot of enquirers see the "remove" widget and click it, rather than marking things "SOLVED" or "DONE" or something.
Having the widget available is an invitation that is contrary to what we want (except when no replies are present).
Yes they could still empty the question, that is however slightly more difficult than clicking a widget.
New suggestion:
1. show the "remove" widget for any leaf message in a thread, i.e. any message without one or more replies; do not show it as soon as (or as long as) some replies are present.
2. for the starting message (the question), as soon as at least one reply is present, show a "thread is done" widget, which appends " [done]" to the subject line , and does not alter the body text. "done" covers solved, gave up, no longer interested, what have you; it still allows people to add replies, edit them, vote, bookmark and everything.
I think this will mostly stop the behavior from other sites rippling into ours: people will not click a "remove" (it isn't there any more), and will prefer clicking the "thread is done" widget over selecting and clearing its entire content.
This must be a winner: those that empty will continue to do so, those that remove today are expected to mark "done" tomorrow.

Not sure what you mean here.
Is it: we really should not prevent removal. then why? the author can modify and even empty his message if he must.
Or is it: he can empty his message, there is nothing we can do about that. then yes, that is fine by me.
Here is yet another one; if you don't take action, the forums will soon be full of those.

We should not prevent an author from removing their own content. As you say - he can simply remove the content if he wishes. I'd rather have a placeholder that keeps the tree structure intact than have the rash of "why is the tree structure all messed up in the forums" questions (the very motivation that lead me to leave the placeholder there when an author deleted the question)
