J, Well here I'm going to agree with what you said, while disagreeing that it ought to be applied here. I suspect that "PM" carries with it semantics (expectations) that are wholly different from

Hi Mark, Why can't Reply work the way it works when a Group Owner clicks on New Topic - but in addition to the Drop Down on the From line (to choose either his personal address or his owner's

The original link I had for github markdown was https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown/, but it now redirects to https://help.github.com/categories/writing-on-github/ The page to

Sue, I've been keeping a browser tab aside for the /test page, using the back button immediately after switching modes (and then refreshing the page so it shows my current mode). I kind of wish it

Mark, Note: Contrary to the thread tags, I'm looking at this on desktop. Probably the same applies to mobile. I think these changes would be welcome also in the Markdown and Plain Text modes, even

 Thanks Brian. I figured that was most likely the case, but it was worth asking.

Carlos, At the moment, I do not believe this is possible by any built-in mechanism and I have posted recently about using the site: operator of virtually any search engine to do complex

Mark, When in the test version on desktop I'm not seeing any control to set the message body format - HTML, Markdown, or Plain Text. Nope. Wasn't under the "More" button (not that I thought it

I see "changed posting status" in a member's own activity page, but it does not seem to be logged in the overall Member Activity. It would be convenient to have log entries for that there as

Full confession: I, too, was confused. And I still have to go through mental gyrations each time I click on it. Sent from my iPhone -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author. It's dumb to

Mark, I'm not entirely sure what "covered" means (at least one body match in the thread?) but I still believe that reporting the Subject match is NOT redundant, and should not be suppressed. But

I agree that a deliberate action to go to / have the non default option kick in is ideal. So the default option has more weight. That was a key part of the two visuals I mocked up and I think central

This comes right back to tying two unrelated tasks that share nothing but the fact that one has to type something and lumping them under a single action. I was confused, and because of how I tend to

Mark, Actually, I think that would be less confusing. That is, I don't think it is duplicative to show the Subject match (once) and each of the body matches (even when those bodies are part of the

Maria, From the very document you linked to: Tip: Click on the Post reply button (or the red Post Reply) in the first post to reply to the original topic creator. Click on Reply to Author

There are many listserv based forums connected to association management providers that also offer reply to group/sender as options when a forum is set up. Also I'm not certain we can take Google

I think it has already caused some confusion, even in this group. That's how the thread started. Short-lived or not (by whatever standard), it is confusing and could be improved -- J Messages are

That's what I'm saying, too. And to that I would add: the "longstanding human practice" is a result of human nature. Human nature ---> human practice ---> good software reflects both of those. --

Maria, I don't think this is much of a problem. As soon as they click on it to see the "new topics" they'll see that the number attaches to the "Drafts" button - the nascent topics are their

J, we're talking about different reasons, that's why. I was responding to the assertion, "I think it's because someone decided to use an unconventional way of doing things and it caught on." I don't
