Yeah, are discussions ordered by most active or most recently posted post? (I'm for the latter, and many forums are designed that way too.)

Can you make it possible to "sticky" a thread? I realize static text like "FAQs" and stuff could be linked to at the top of the page, so obviously, if a sticky functionality is introduced, it probably should not be used for stuff like that. But stickying would be very good for VIDs - Very Important Discussions. Like, massive wikipedia discussions.

Also, I see that I am allowed to edit your posts... I recognize this allows for a level of collaboration in writing a post, and that the nefarious dealings it also allows have always been possible and rarely have been too much of a problem and that a "permissions system" isn't even built into a person's user page... I'm guessing a permissions system would be like: any page within the "thread:" namespace can only be edited by its creator or an admin.

but still, kind of unorthodox, and probably especially problematic because you can't see the history changes for the entire discussion, just each post. people might take the effort to check the history of a discussion page, but not of each and every post. :o food for thought. --68.32.26.209 13:57, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
