Veritula – Meta
You could make an option "allow revisions by other users" in the new idea form that is off by default.
Alternatively, you could make an option "allow revisions by other users" in the new idea form that is off by default.

I would prefer to find out I was reading an outdated version of something before I started reading it, not at the end, and not in the comments.
#4501·Dennis HackethalOP, 8 months agoBut there’s no indication that the current version has been superseded.
There is, in the comments.
#4500·Dennis HackethalOP, 8 months ago…the site should let [visitors] know if there is a superseding revised version of [an idea].
There are arrow buttons linking to the previous and next version, and the UI says which version you’re currently looking at.

#4437·Benjamin Davies, 8 months agoWhen a reader comes to a Veritula post via a link, the site should let them know if there is a superseding revised version of it, and if they would like to see that version instead. When I share things with my friends, I want them to see the most current version, not the version that corresponds to the link they have been given at some point in the past.
Right now it depends on the user seeing that it is not the most recent revision on their own.

#4422·Benjamin Davies, 8 months agoVeritula should have a 'Posts' tab next to the 'Discussions' tab, where people can browse the things people post on their profiles.
I first want to see some more people posting to their profiles so there’ll be enough ideas to show in that tab.
#4494·Benjamin Davies revised 8 months agoSuggestion: Make italicised text the same colour as regular text.
Bold text is good in red. Italicised text is less legible, and the red compounds that.
This would also create more of a differentiation of emphasis between bold and italicised text.
Valid, done.

#4475·Dennis HackethalOP, 8 months ago… the posts are lost amongst the other user activity.
To be clear, when you say “posts”, you mean specifically ideas the user posted only to their profile, outside of discussions?
What about reposts from discussions?
I think users will expect reposts to appear on their profile alongside their posts on the wall. That seems natural.

Suggestion: Allow reacts to be used in the activity feed.
That way I can quickly add colour to whatever has been happening recently on the site.
#4267·Dennis HackethalOP, 9 months agoComposing a top-level idea on mobile is atrocious. Need to scroll all the way down to see the form, the form keeps hiding itself, etc.
Fixed as of 9ea99f9.
#4436·Benjamin Davies, 8 months agoBug: When I try to type a top level idea into a discussion on my phone, the text is covered by the keyboard.
Should be fixed as of 9ea99f9 but let me know if you’re still having issues.
#4445·Benjamin Davies, 8 months agoWhen I go on a profile, the posts are lost amongst the other user activity.
Posts should have an exclusive place on the profile, as well as featuring in the user activity.
Done as of af4e814. There’s now a default wall tab and an activity tab. The wall only shows posts made specifically to the profile. That means posts by the user and others to that profile, and the user’s reposts from anywhere. Version chains are collapsed into the most recent version.

What about reposts from discussions?
If I mute a discussion, does that stop me from getting notifications from the people I follow, when they interact with that discussion?
Yes.
As a rule of thumb, specificity beats generality. For example, if you follow someone but mute a discussion, you won’t be notified of their posts in that discussion. But if you then subscribe to a specific thread in that muted discussion, you will get their notifications for that thread.
There are exceptions. If you mute someone, you’ll never be notified of their actions.
