Threaded Discussions

90 words.

Today I have extended the capabilities of the news engine to support “threaded” discussions. That is, a heirarchical structure where you can reply to any article, and reply to the replies, and so on. This is the basis of the proverbial “discussion group” found on so many web sites these days. Personally I don’t particularly like web-based discussion groups, but hey, who am I to judge.

Anyway, the gist of this in layman terms is that the “commenting” feature is gone, and is replaced with a more robust “replying” feature.

This page is a static archival copy of what was originally a WordPress post. It was converted from HTML to Markdown format before being built by Hugo. There may be formatting problems that I haven't addressed yet. There may be problems with missing or mangled images that I haven't fixed yet. There may have been comments on the original post, which I have archived, but I haven't quite worked out how to show them on the new site.

Sorry, new comments are disabled on older posts. This helps reduce spam. Active commenting almost always occurs within a day or two of new posts.
