With an account, you can revise, criticize, and comment on ideas.
The more ideas there are in a discussion, the further the form for top-level ideas is pushed down. Then people don’t know how to submit a new idea and comment on an existing one instead, even if it’s unrelated, as happened with #448. So I need to make this clearer.
Done as of 4922b8c. The form now sticks to the bottom of the discussion page.
The way IG solves this is by rendering the form in a fixed position. It’s still on the bottom but always remains visible.
Reddit is a bit different because they have multiple subreddits/communities, but each community has top-level posts which people can then comment on. They have a completely separate page/UI for top-level posts. And then directly underneath a top-level post, there’s a textarea saying “Join the conversation”.
Any progress on this? Scrolling to the bottom to submit new ideas is annoying.
Yes, see here: https://veritula.com/discussions/veritula-meta
Give it a shot.
Sorry, I was debugging something and temporarily disabled this feature. Should be back up.
It might make sense to have the new top-level idea form at the top, in the meantime. Compared to the current design, this would invite the creation of more top-level ideas.
There could be a floating button on the side that takes you to the bottom of the page.
There could be a side pane that stays visible while scrolling content.
