Fascinating!

thin ether
#

Oh good, you started using it, we just got the notification on the MD guild too.

rigid relic
#

Looks like a much more efficient way of isolating support requests into their own threads. Except it's not the threads feature, which sucks

thin ether
#

This is the forum feature yeah?

rigid relic
#

yeah 🙂

#

I was never a fan of the threads thing, but this is much better

thin ether
#

Tbh, threads are kind of a pain cuz you have to add yourself to them to get notifications, I got this notification when I wasn't even looking at the guild.

#

It was way too easy for threads to be hidden even from me on guilds I own.

rigid relic
#

The only thing I don't like about it is the fan it adds the thread to the channel list when you are following it. And it will auto-follow anything you type in, so that makes the channel list grow huge.

thin niche
#

okaaaay basic support faq is posted

rigid relic
thin niche
#

yeah but that's most likely because you were in the channel when I posted it

#

also it says 1 new post at the bottom

thin ether
#

I saw the "1 new post" as well.

rigid relic
#

I'd expect it to appear in the list though

thin niche
#

it does

rigid relic
#

Only if you click the 1 new Post

thin ether
#

I have send perms in that FAQ

rigid relic
#

It would be better if new posts just appeared

thin ether
#

They might fix that as time goes on.

thin niche
thin ether
#

They meant it would be nice if the new forums just added to the list without pushing "1 new post" iirc.

thin niche
#

yeah but I don't see it as a big issue. It's an inconvenience for sure but not a big issue as there's plenty of indicators that there's a new post

rigid relic
#

Yeah, you shouldn't need to click it or refresh it

rigid relic
#

Actually another issue is the FAQ isn't pinned at the top. My first post is still above it

thin niche
#

they probably decided to do this so you could find threads more easily in very active servers :P

thin niche
#

right click

rigid relic
#

oh yeah

thin niche
#

another thing we should maybe turn on is "require people to select tags when posting"

rigid relic
#

I specifically chose not to do that, because sometimes people might have something to say that doesn't fit a specific category, and then you get bad data because they are picking the "closest match" which isn't relevant

thin niche
#

"other"

rigid relic
#

yeah I was just wondering about a "General Enquiry" one

thin ether
#

@fathom wharf Here's that testing forum I mentioned in the other guild.

thin niche
#

Already at 35 messages lol

#

Inquiry or Enquiry?

rigid relic
#

In US English, you should always use inquiry and inquire, regardless of the formality of the investigation. In British English, inquiry and inquire are used to describe formal/official investigations and lines of questioning, whereas enquire and enquiry are used in less formal investigations.

thin ether
#

Enquiry is the plural form of inquiry apparently

#

Oh

#

Fair.

fathom wharf
#

what dis

#

how work?

rigid relic
#

Americans butchered the English language 🤣

thin ether
#

Fancier threads

fathom wharf
#

So these aren't those crappy ones that disappear after like 24 hours then?

thin ether
rigid relic
#

These disappear too, but you can set it from anything between 24hrs and 1 week

thin ether

#

aaah see that's the thing, I'm a data hoarder and I love having access to discord chats going back to the beginning of the server. I worry that stuff in these time-limit threads will just vanish forever

thin ether
rigid relic
#

I'm the same, although in this instance I think for standalone support requests it's a nice way of keeping everything organised

fathom wharf
#

aaah ok, that's not so bad then

fathom wharf
thin ether
#

I see that react @proud garden
behave LMFAO

thin niche
#

although it doesn't have the nitro logo behind it

#

maybe discord did something without a paywall?

thin ether
#

I've been using threads on my guild as well for "transactional" messages for my store features.

young bronze
#

What is all this then?

thin ether
#

So far it seems like advanced threads.

young bronze
#

That is how I would describe them.

thin ether
#

Yup. But it might be useful for some things.

thin niche
rigid relic
#

I would describe it as... what threads should have been 😛

thin ether
#

Awww, you get a lil OP badge for being the one to create this "channel"

rigid relic
#

lol thanks giphy

thin ether
rigid relic
#

that's a point, there's no gif button

#

only emojis

thin ether
#

There is when you open the forum full size.

rigid relic
#

ah cool

#

I will likely never do that

thin ether
#

You just click the forum itself on the left instead of the root of the tree.

#

Then you get a regular channel layout.

Hiya Scotty

Indeed.

Oh how did you read that!

#

You weren’t even here!

raw sphinx
#

Like threads, anyone can read without joining

#

But sending a message will add you to it

#

Or "following," as its apparently called for forums

untold echo
#

Does that mean we don't get notifications for new posts, and/or pings if we get tagged in new posts we haven't seen yet?

thin niche
#

yes and no

#

you won't get notifications for them (so you aren't spammed with stuff you probably don't need), but you will see how many new posts there are

raw sphinx
#

Notification settings on a forums channel also has a new option for "new posts created," off by default

untold echo
#

Say we want to ping Dan or Claire to draw them into the topic.

thin niche
#

then that'll ping them..

#

just like you just pinged me

untold echo
#

Ah, so pings do work even if you're not following the post; good.

thin niche
#

yes..

#

they're used to add people to a thread

steel flint
#

Oh great, this combines all the downsides of forums with all the downsides of chat! (not your fault, this is a very oddly designed feature in discord)

gray yarrow
#

I imagine it's intended for sync with external forums like reddit. I agree, in isolation this is duplication of threads 🙂
