I would like to offer a suggestion for a new Yuku feature.
Some background:
A particular thread on my board has segued into a new discussion.
So, I suggested to my members that I would split the new discussion off to a new thread so that the original discussion could continue in the first thread, and the new discussion would continue in the second thread. [I usually advise my members first of what I plan to do just in case they strenuously object -- and was the case here].
They didn't object to splitting off the new thread, per se -- what bothered them was that in the current discussion, people made lots of references to things people had said by referencing the post numbers. For example:
In Post 83, BadBoy said:
Blah-blah-blah.But earlier, in Post 27, he had said:
Bleh-bleh-bleh.
So, what bothers them is that if a new thread were to be spun-off, the post numbers would get new numbers and so the referenced posts would get all screwed up! Therefore, they don't want me to split off the new thread for that reason alone.
What I would like to suggest then is that when splitting topics, there would be the option to either:
• Keep the original post numbers; or
• Renumber the posts, starting with #1
