- Stand-alone Discussions Going Away
Suite101 management is in the process of revamping, and one of the major changes is with comments and discussions.
Stand-alone discussions are being phased out. They are still available for viewing, but that's about it. I know this will upset some people. All I can say is that I wasn't privy to this decision. I'm just reporting it.
For a brief time, people are allowed to make a single post by starting a new discussion. But no replies are possible. And I suspect that this will go away soon.
Discussions are now encouraged to be article-based via the new comments system. In other words, you can make comments directly after most articles. (Some writers have chosen to disable comments for certain articles).
As for blogs...the comment feature will be added shortly. Right now, you can't make a comment to a blog post, but that will be changing soon.
Please follow the guidelines set forth in the Suite101 Posting Etiquette when adding to the discussion.
